    Default Pachislo Unknown Error

    Hello everyone, this is my first post so I hope I format everything correctly. So I'm very new to collecting pachislot machines and I recently picked one up in working condition. It worked fine until yesterday when I hit it's *payout* button by accident, it spit out any coins it had inside and now it won't let me play anymore. It just displays a H-o error code with a musical tone over and over again, and anything I've tried so far hasn't worked (turning off/on again, just pressing the reset button,etc). I know there is a multi-step way to reset these machines, but most instructional videos had machines that differ a lot from mine so i dont know if it would work, and I also don't have a key/reset key.

    Wondering where I need to go from here to get this working again? Images linked below, hope they help.

    I just thought it is possibly letting you know that you have a Hopper Error . That big black hopper in the machine might need a good ,thorough Cleaning on the token path .

    Rubbing alcohol and Q tips will help you make sure the token path is clean.

    So I've done all these steps until I get to the part where they need me to see a number displayed on the door, mine doesn't have this so how do I know if it's in "reset mode" as the guy on YouTube said?

    If the one digit display is not on the inside of the door then it would appear on one of the front digital displays with the number being 1,2,3,4,5,or 6 for that is the different odds settings for these machines.

    That transformer in front of the inside control panel is blocking some items on the panel .


    That transformer should be 120vac to 24vac it does look kind of old and rusted on top . Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it to check it out ?

    So I tried doing the reset but the screwdriver method does not work for my machine, I'll need a key but I don't have one. Is it possible to get a replacement for these?

    If you don't have a key with the machine unplugged you can replace the key switch with a toggle switch .

    How good are your electronic skills ? Like soldering and such ?

    I'm actually very handy with that, I've done a full door teardown sound system upgrade for my car, and I have usable toggle switches that would work for this. Thanks for all the help
