    Default Can’t get Mizuho machine to feed balls

    I can’t get my machine to feed balls to the lever. I filled up the tray. I know there’s a rod going from the tray to the lever that’s supposed to trigger ball feed, but I can’t quite figure it out. I’m sure I need to flip a lever or something. Can anyone one help?

    Hello and welcome. There is a small orange service tab that needs to be flipped up on the first curve.

    Nice machine.

    WELCOME!!!


    Vintage machines often lock out the ability to shoot balls if you don't have enough balls loaded in the rear..

    there can be a few reasons..

    you say the hopper is full but in the pic you posted it is not..

    i can see in your second pics balls have entered the shooter..

    have you opened the front shooter tray to see if it is obstructed?? also be sure when you close the shooter tray the lift wire that is connected to the low ball rod on the back is orientated correctly and operating as it should..

    more current pics would probably help a ton..

    and of course

    Thanks everyone. I’ll get more pics in the daytime. I did load up the hopper with balls but still won’t shoot. I’ll check that orange lever too.

    Here are pics of the back, the linkages that I assume allow the handle shoot balls. I have it loaded with balls but will not shoot balls. I don’t know how to get inside the little front window to examine that area.

    With the back of the machine facing you on the right is a pull bar and just pull it up and that will open the front play field glass . When you open the front play field door the lower ball feed door will have on either the left or right side will be a piece of metal that you can push down to open the that lower front door to check on the front ball feed mechanism. Have fun exploring your machine!
