Old Question, New answer...

[ziofreddy]

Hallo everyone, I'm new here... Nice Group...
I've just bought my first (non last one...) Pachislo and I'd like to know the translation from japan language of what is written on my Power Supply (the machine is the Speed Racer).You will find here a photo with numbers from 1 to 13. Can someone help me?

Thank You a lot!http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/804...upplygo5wo.jpg

Welcome

On to your picture:

1. Circulation
2. Power
3. Reset
4. Set
5. Power (lamp)
6. 12A ( )
7. Hopper Motor
8. Settings
9. Reset
10. Sensor 1
11. Sensor 2
12. Suspend play of machine (up setting is "yes", down setting is "no")
13. Automatic

I can't read the kanji on #13 so if you can post a closeup of just that one, I can do it.

Thank you very much... I put here another link to a closer photo but......

Do you know which is the use of the two sensors? (n. 10 and 11)
...and the use of number 12 and 13? Do I have to leave these two in up or down position?
... and the n. 1 "circulation"... what is the use? I suppose only a test for hopper and music, it's right? Thank you again, very happy for your answers......

12 and 13 affect what happens after bonus rounds.

I believe they should both be left in the down position from Rupan's translation above.

Good link find, Dalto.

The kanji translates out to "Automatic Calculation" and the upper setting is "yes", lower is "no". Let me add that (and I think most of the older posters here know this) my translations may not exactly work out to exact English equivalents since I'm not a very technically/mechanically minded person nor do I have a machine of my own. So, though I know the words, I'm sometimes not sure of what the functions that I'm translating actually do.

The one that I labelled as "Circulation" could also mean "Recall" or "Collect" as well....what exactly it does... well, you tell me.

Hope that helps somewhat though.

I never realised you don't have any machines, Rupan. Sorry for asking, but do you still get to play them anymore?

[rupan777]

Only the video game simulations of them.

[Mike]

How do you seem to still keep so up to date with the latest happenings? Plenty of internet use, or old friends?

[rupan777]

Well, the fundamentals of pachinko and pachislo really don't change much, just the fine details do, so it's just the matter of applying existing theory to newer machines. I do browse around the internet once a week to keep abreast on newer machines and have some friends in the industry who feed me some fine details but most of the information comes from time (and money ) spent playing and studying the machines themselves.

[Mike]

I can think of some worse ways to spend time and money! Cheers for that, I didn't want to appear nosey, but was just interested.

[rupan777]

No problem, it's not the first time that I've been asked that.

[slotter]

He's always asking for money to buy a bigger place and for some machines. I figure he's gotta earn it, though. Kids...

Should I be charging you by the post or the hour?

Anyway, in this post now we are going "outroad"... I was just asking for some help. Good for the translation but if you see my first post perhaps someone can help me more... Thank to all...

Maybe the sensor for the tokens when they are inserted?

I think the switch you need to be most concerned about is #1. If I'm not mistaken, if you turn that on, all the coins in the hopper will come shooting out all over the room.

So, we can translate it to "collect" or "eject" then, thanks.
