    Default Volume Controls

    What is the best way to lower the volume on modern Pachinko’s. I’m not the most technical with wiring and things so I’m looking for the easiest options or any help with it. I have found my Rocky machine has off and two other levels but both are way too loud lol. I’m also looking to lower the volume on my older late 90s modern.

    good dbl sided tape will be your friend once you get them installed.. it will keep them from bouncing around..

    If you don't feel comfortable adding the volume controls (it is pretty straight forward) you could also add some sound dampening such as cotton cloth, etc in front of the speakers. I've found rags, old socks, etc stuffed in front of speakers on a number of machines I have bought. You could also disconnect some of the speakers, although it will still be loud.

    Thanks for the advice. I stuffed an old sock in my older 90’s machine that only has one speaker and it did the trick perfect. It had a pretty decent space for something to be put in there.

    Glad you love the volume controls. You have to tame the sound beast on these machine. I have a volume control on every machine i have.
