How do I adjust odds in a Sammy, Linda, Fire Illusion

[pachidust]

I acquired a new machine and know almost nothing about these modern ones.
Sammy model Linda, probably 2004, Fire Illusion. I'd like to adjust the odds.
I'll attach photos.
I'd also like to adjust the volume because yikes this is loud.

There’s no adjustment of the odds besides adjusting the nails to allow more spins.

I've been trying Google Translate on some of the stickers on the machine. (attached)
I saw this one and wondered if that was an indication it was adjustable in that range 1/348 - 1/2.

Have there been any manuals made available for these older machines? It would be so interesting if there was a USB connector to find the settings.

There's a tiny button near the on/off switch. I wondered if that was a way to enter a configuration screen.

If you are going to cheat to gain an edge, do it intelligently! Put a button on it to trigger the center feature at the push of a button. Here is the same frame as you have. You can simply interrupt either wire of that Yellow two wire connector with a normally closed switch. This modification won't affect anything else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKnfGYgCwL8

Neat video. I'll have to play around to find the set of wires.
That's also quite an impressive ball return mechanism in your video.

Near the middle of the back circuitry there's a 3-position switch. Any idea what that's for?
It's touched with some yellow paint, which some previous owner placed on important locations (power, front-glass open, etc).

I've wondered how feasible it'd be to write new ROMs for a machine like this to replace the code. I guess it would be possible, but you'd need someone with reverse engineering skill who cares enough to do it for every single game you'd want the odds changed for separately, so not likely... I think the probability variation the frame is talking about is that the machine can go into modes with different odds as it's played, rather than any configurability.

As for the volume, people usually mod in a potentiometer in the speaker path. Just make sure it's beefy enough to be able to handle an amplified audio signal.

That's the volume control switch that is not very effective. Your (yellow) 2 wire connector is exactly where mine is, see the video.

The tiny button is the reset switch, you hold it down when starting up the machine to clear errors. Don't worry about it yet.

WELCOME!!!


Sammy CRリンダのどうにもとまらない (the name is on the back of the machine) May 2004..

It's the FN spec.. There were 3 specs (different odds).. FN 1/348.6, ST 1/225.2 and HN 1/306.2.. The only way to get different odds is to buy a different machine!!
