    Default I’m not sure what I have here. Nor what’s wrong with it

    I have a Keiwa pinball machine and it’s my grandfathers and he’s had it for a good 20 years or so. We went to plug it in after about 10 years of sitting and nothing works. We tried fiddling with it to no avail. Could anyone give me some advice as to what I’m doing wrong or how to fix it possibly? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    I don't see a transformer in any pictures. Did you use a 110v to 24v transformer on it. Or connect a lead direct from the machine to your mains outlet?

    ダービー物語
    Derby Story

    Came out in 1993

    Apparently there was a big todo about this game. From what I gather, programing was changed by the manufacturer after official approval. Caused some arrests, raiding of company headquarters, confiscation of machines and rules changes.

    Looks like a white 3amp transformer near the bottom right but the power cord disappears off the side. Have you pulled the fuses and checked with an ohm meter?

    And, welcome to the group

    Do you have a couple hundred balls loaded in the upper rear hopper? (I sell balls cheap if needed-shameless plug) Sometimes there is a switch up there that kills the shooter when balls run low.
