CR Gachinko 7 Help Please

[DuongKong]

Hey,

I just picked up my first Pachinko machine from my local collectors store. I dont know too much about it but i am seeking information on it. The unit turns on and 95% of the lights work. It does function but I'm not too sure what the blue and red button do. Also, the "short supply information" light is on? What is causing that? Someone told me I need at least 500 Pachinko balls in the machine for it to work properly? Can anyone give me some insight about what I need to do? It will be greatly appreciated, Thank you! Sorry for the photos being sideways, clicking them makes them upright.

Sounds like not enough balls… you need 1000 balls to not require constant fill ups. How many balls are in it? Have you filled the hopper?

The blue and red buttons are part of the parlour ball loan system. They don't do anything in the home environment unless you have Daverob dongle.

When I first picked up the machine, it only came with like 20 balls lol I know there are supposed to be more but that was what I was given at purchase. Most of them were stuck in the machine so I had to fish them out. But, I did place an order for 1000 balls. Hopefully, that solves one of the issues. I put a couple of balls in the hopper and then they fed down to another mechanism and now they are stuck there for some reason.

What is a Daverob Dongle? Is that something you need to get separately? Do some machines come with it already out of the parlor? I want to try to get everything working as it would in a parlor, besides having a ball return lift.

Where can I get my hands on one of these Daverob dongles?

I was also wondering if anyone is familiar with this game version specifically? Like whats the goal of this particular game? Bonus? How to win the jackpot? What's the Replay bell thing on the right hand side? I'm sorry for asking so many questions, im just really new at this and I appreciate you guys helping me out.
