    Default help with repair, nail removal tricks

    I have several machines with the pink ring theme pretty common,
    but this is my only one with the cool mechanical activated pockets,
    So i wanted to get it working, a ball in the red lower cups opens those buds over them
    Problem is the bud on the left wont open because that metal part behind it feel off into a ball trackway,
    Of course its on the harder to get to side, so is there
    any trick to getting nails out to fix this, perhaps a tear down video
    Many thanks
    cheers
    b

    are you trying to remove a tulip or really anything from the front? if so you have to find a thin knife or equivalent to pry between in and the cel to get a small amount of clearance between the two. then push the tulip back up against the cel and the nail(s) will be sticking out enough to be able to grab the head with pliers. same technique for removing anything from the back.

    i see. well there's vids made of various vintage pachinkos of just what you're looking for. it's not difficult though without a step by step, just take pictures as you go. cut the staples with side cutters and pull the ends out with pliers. you can re-staple or just use small screws which is what i used to do.
