    Default First Time Pachinko owner - Inakappe Taisho V

    About a month ago, I bought my first Pachinko machine. Found it at a garage sale for $50, and got the guy down to $45. Not knowing much about pachinko machines, I wasn't sure if it was a good deal. It did not have the key, but the guy did have some balls for it. It was originally mounted to two pieces of wood on the bottom, but it wasn't level when sitting on those (it leaned back due to the weight), so I decided to mount it in my wall. Required some reframing, but it isn't a load bearing wall and is in the basement behind the finished half, so no big deal.

    Pretty sure this is the same machine: http://www.p-world.co.jp/_machine/kisyu.cgi?kisyu=p1453

    My two big questions are:
    1. How do I control/lower the volume?
    2. What does the connector go to that you see in my second post.

    What does this connector go to? In the bottom right area of the machine when looking at it from the back (so on the back left side).

    This is on the front in the bottom right. Is this some kind of certification or license?

    WELCOME!!!

    $45 seems good to me!!

    I don't have any games in this frame so don't know where, but there probably is a three position volume switch, possibly marked by yellow paint..Sadly, it will probably only make it LOUDER!!

    Most people need to install simple volume controls or pots on the speaker wires, but you could get lucky with the volume switch!!


    No clue on the connector..Does the machine work properly as is??

    I don't see a connector. It looks like a photocell gate to me. Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing

    I forgot to mention that the machine is made by Heiwa.

    I am pretty sure the left knob controls the amount of tension or how much the user can adjust the shots. Not sure what the one on the right does.
    IMG_20190820_141610.jpg

    The connector in question seems to be fed from the white connector on the board on the left which is where the knobs above are located.
    IMG_20190820_141824.jpg

    This is what is written on it.
    IMG_20190820_141746.jpg

    I think I found where it clips on. Maybe a sensor of some type?
    IMG_20190820_142748.jpg

    I figured it out after looking at this other one that is similar.
    IMG_20190820_142148.jpg

    The main rom chip (near the upper left corner on the back)? I have a friend that may be able to rip the content if it is worth doing.
    IMG_20190820_141933.jpg

    Instructions on the back in the upper right corner.
    IMG_20190820_142233.jpg

    Any idea what the instructions are saying? I believe a couple of them are talking about different levers to move, but not sure what for. Maybe to clean out the balls?
    IMG_20190820_142433.jpg

    Main boards.
    IMG_20190820_141904.jpg

    I can get better pics of areas of the machine if needed, just let me know. I will be putting a video up on eBay soon. Let me know what you want to see.

    I am missing the key for my machine. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it is appreciated. I was able to get it out of the machine to take pictures.

    If that is the case, maybe I am missing a second one of those black wheels with the circles? Seems that would be the case.

    One last image of the bottom of the machine where the balls come out that are missed shots. Any idea what the clips are for? I assume some kind of catch for the balls. Right now I am using a wide tupperware container as there are two exits.
