    Default Goku III - My first machine

    Hi friends, I've been lurking and searching this forum to learn about my first machine that I'm restoring. A number of years ago a coworker asked if I was interested in his machine. He had decided he wasn't ever going to do anything with it and wanted to find it a new home. He knew I was an Air Force brat, born in Japan, so asked me. Of course, I said yes.

    The machine seemed to be in decent shape, but very dirty. I put it in my garage where it has waited 6+ years before I finally decided to try to do something with it. I searched the internet and this site to learn enough about how to clean it up. I now have it cleaned up pretty well although I wasn't brave enough to take it completely apart for a thorough cleaning.

    Here's what I think I know about it:

    • Name: Goku III, based on a character from Dragon Ball
    • Born on date: 1991
    • Other: Sankyo hanemono, frame is pre-cursor to Lumina


    It seems to work pretty well, at least mechanically. I'm not sure how to trigger or evaluate the electronics. Many of the lights and sounds work. Here are a few things I don't know:
    • Does it have a "fever mode", if so how to trigger it? (I've found a number of procedures on this site, but they haven't worked for me.)
    • I have yet to see anything display in the "ROUND" and "COUNT" displays below the center feature. Should there be anything there by default? What makes it activate?


    Here are some pics of the front:
