Well Monkey king is here HELP

[pervataru]

Fedx delivered my Monkeyking Pachinko today, nothing broken, but could use some paint touch ups. Here is my problem, how the hell does it work? I put balls in both front and back tray, (after about 3 balls, back tray started dropping them out the bottome of the back of machine.) The lights and LCD are pretty but nothing else does anything. HELP please. have call into Slotusa but all tecs are out on break WTF?

ok After two calls to slotusa got it working, but (my first pinball) is holding down the handle and letting fly with a full trays worth of balls all you can do with these things?

[slotter]

Of course, the object of the game is to maximize payouts and get into various fever modes, so you need to find the "sweet spot" where to send those balls you are shooting.

[pervataru]

ok four more questions for now
1: there are two triangle buttons on the front tray that point out do they do anything?

2: there's a lil button above the shooter knob does it do anything?

3: so is pressure control on shooter all I can do to affect game?

4: lastly does anyone else have this modle if not should I review it for the museum?


oh ya I made a mistake Machine Name is Dragon Monkey not Monkeyking my7 bad

[Firewire]

I used to have Batman which was in the same case (different colors though).

1. The triangles were mostly like for calling an attendant but are non funcitonal now.

2. The little button above the shooter knob stops balls so you can aim or turn the knob to the desired spot before a ball fires. Once you release the button (and after having turned the knob) the ball will shoot.

3. Pressure doesn't normally control the shooter it is usually how far you turn the knob that determines how hard/far the ball will shoot.

4. You bet, it's always good for a review.

I assume that the top tray in the back is for pay out of balls. but here is my next question, I load balls in to the tray, they fall down in to the two runners and stop at a twin tooth gate, if that gate is open they just flood out the bottom back, into collection tray (soon to be funnel shoot). Is this right or is something not set up rite? the first pic is the shoots to the gate, second is just the gate, and third what is that for and is it set right (Slotusa called it a "Ball dump Lever" This is on a b&w zerox of a color pic, so lots of mudded up detail.)?

[MrGneiss]

It sounds like your feed gate is open. Check this link for more info.

Your "twin tooth gate" needs to be open but further along the ball path
the feed gate needs to be closed. This will hold the balls back until there is a payout.

Yea I had the same on my Batman (took longer to find the ball dumper at the front than out else) I fixed mine by dumping and flipping the gate at back (as just flipping the gate on mine didnt fix it). They get stuck sometimes when u buy a new machine so its one of the first things to check

[RKnarr01]

perv,

the picture with "WTF" is used to connect counter to in the parlors i believe.

[compirate]

I wondered about that part of the pic too. I knew the upper connectors were for the battle counters but thought pervataru was refering to the white tab above the label (or the label) because it was centered in the pic

[arbycoffee]

Try this lnk

It is fr the Thunder Zone - the back is the same

[pervataru]

Compirate is correct; what is the white tab for above the yellow lable sry for not being more specific.

[pervataru]

I have totally searched the back of this machine and can not find a gate feed lever. Also it seems that the Ball counter release lock is busted off. I opened the release and with my finger rolled the wheel inside there and a few balls dropped into the front feed tray. So I loaded ten balls into the top back pay out feed tray, and flipped up top tray ball release (twin tooth gate) and they all dropped out bottom, I did this again and again till finally one ball slipped into pay out shoot, this ball I manually move through to front feed tray. So purplexed

Other than this issue the game seems to be working great, is the sound only supposed to come on when you hit the win pocket.Even rigged up a hose to it so the balls that fall out the back, tube down to a catch bag on the floor.

[luckydog]

the top gate should be closed so the balls don't fall out to the bottom.

their are 2 vertical channels where you should see the balls lined up in them.

one channel pays out reg amount, the other channel pays out the winning balls in bonus round.

your solinoid and ball counter is right below the two channels of balls.

that is what dispenses out your winning balls.

[compirate]

Unfortunatly I don't have this model case but I understand what your problem is. When the machines are in the parlor, and they need to be serviced, there usually is a small hole in the front of the case that a pin is stuck into to release a lever to dump all the balls from the machine. Some times this has to manually be reset or all the balls will continue to dump (your problem). Have you talked to Tusla about this? He has a machine with the same case and could tell you specifically where the latch is.

[pervataru]

Compirate no not yet but I'll bug him now lol, or pray he reads this thread, he doesn't take e-mails

[luckydog]

You can send Tulsa a PM

[MrGneiss]

Is the sound only supposed to come on when you hit the win pocket?

Yes.

[Tulsa]

On the very left hand side of the case is a small hole about the size of a paper clip, just under the first light. Using a paperclip you can get to the ball dump switch. Often when this switch is pressed, it needs to be pressed again to close. If the issue is just pouring balls though the system, try this.

[slotter]

If nothing else, notice what the clip tip Tulsa explained pushes on from the backside and you'll see what you have to fix...
