    Default [Sankyo] Samurai Blade: Episode 1 Pachinko wiring help

    Hi, I picked up a Samurai Blade Episode 1 pachinko machine and I am not really sure how it all wires up.

    There appears to be 6 separate parts:
    1) Pachinko machine
    2) Frame
    3) Ball feeder?
    4) Electronic counter
    5) Transformer (I assume this is converting 110v to 230v since the machine was in the UK)
    6) Circuit board with a lot of different connections.

    I have photos of each part in the photos album below, the photos are titled with each part:
    https://photos.app.goo.gl/jsMHbUu2GV4dCvSx8

    I'm assuming the frame plugs into the machine itself with the connectors on the bottom left and right of the machine and that the transformer plugs directly into the power 2 pin on the back of the machine.
    I am unsure how to connect everything up to the circuit board, it seems a couple of the wires from the counter plug into the circuit board but I am wondering how to plug the circuit board into the pachinko machine itself.
    Also how does the ball feeder connect to the machine?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    First of all. Don't do anything with that transformer. Thats fine if you in Japan or maybe the USA. But its no good here. its a 100-24v transformer. and a rather low powered one at that. You want to get a 240-24vac transformer. At the moment I can't give you any more details, because I can't see the current rating. Is there anything on the back of the main machine that lists a VA rating. That would probably be a 200 or 250va machine.

    Daiichi data counters and connection boards I know nothing about, Mandoman is the guy for that. I'll drop him a point and see if he can advise. But basically. the data counter plugs straight into that board. then the board connects to the back of the machine.

    scrap that. try this thread..

    Again. I can't advise on the ball lifter as it might be 100v or 24v Is there any stickers on it advising of power rating?

    The door should just hang on. then reconnect the wires. I'm guessing they were disconnected for shipping and came in seperate boxes? Maybe parcelforce?

    I'm in London tomorrow (Monday) at City Hall and NW4 If your really stuck I might be able to pop buy. Depending on location. Just PM me.


    and of course

    Thanks for the reply.

    The back of the machine reads:
    AC24 +/- 5%
    250VA

    I'm guessing I need a different transformer rated up to 250VA?

    Bingo.
    I personally like to go one size up. Especially with cheaper chinese made transformers off ebay. It never hurts to have a little in reserve.

    Sorry to bump this after so long, coming back to this after a break and wanted to figure out if I have the right converter. I was looking at something similar to this:
    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253177330999
    Specs:
    AC input 190-240V, 47/63Hz
    DC output 24V, 15A, 360W

    Would this work?

    You will want AC output

    Here you go.

    https://uk.farnell.com/vigortronix/v...24v/dp/2817701

    The 300va is actually cheaper than the 250va version. But the 250va one says in the description that is comes with the mounting plate.

    Both are suitable but get wired in different ways as one is 2x 24 and the other is 2x 12
