Converting a coinless wild wolf game to accept tokens

[Calypso]

A long time ago I purchased a yamasa wild wolf game. It was purchased as a "coinless" game and it is missing in the internal hopper and a couple other pieces of equipment. I see coin hoppers and other parts for sale online. I can send photos of that would help. But instead of putting coins into the slot I press a credit button that has been added to the machine.

Keep in mind that I do not want to turn this into something that would accept currency!
I just want it to except tokens.

Is it possible?

Can anyone point me in the direction of somebody in Florida that does this?

Has anyone done this before?

It seems like a lot of work which is why I would pay someone to do it for me. If it is cheaper I would just buy a token game from someone but cannot seem to find this model. I'd be up for rebuying the game with tokens if some,one can find it and it's easier.

Welcome to Pachitalk

Thanks for the welcome!

For some reason I can't upload photos of the machine. . Something about the file size being too small! And the upload fails.

Filesize is too LARGE. Resize your images to 640x480 and upload them. They are looking at the issue to try to correct it.

It can be a pain. The model railway forum I go on has the same limitations with uploading files. I either have to shrink them by emailing them to myself via my smart phone. Or reduce them using Microsoft Paint.

Does anyone have an email that I could send these pictures to iamb not a computer whiz and have no idea how to reformat these. I appreciate anyone's willingness to help

[Calypso]

Does anyone have an email that they would be comfortable private messaging me? I only ask because I am not a computer whiz and do not know how to set up these photos. I appreciate anyone's willingness to assist me. The only way I can inscribe it is to say that the queen exception thing and the hopper box are completely gone it's almost like they are wired to a little gray box now instead of the hardware it's normally attached to

Hello Calypso and welcome to the group

PS: I think I've found a BioHazard and Lord Of The Rings slot to purchase? Should I jump on it?

Only you can answer that as it depends on your tastes. Are they themes that you would still enjoy later in time? Are the prices in line with what you are willing to spend? Does everything seem to work okay and do you get tokens or other goodies with the price? I never played either one myself. Perhaps others can offer an opinion as to their play features.

Here are some pictures from member Calypso that go with his questions about the Wild Wolf machine being restored to using tokens and a hopper. I tried to highlight the areas in question with the orange boxes. I never had a coin-less machine myself so I'm not sure what wiring changes were done.

Biohazard is usually a highly sought after machine...usually high priced because of that. Not sure if they are rare, but you don't see them for sale often. It is a 4 reel machine. That is notvgood nor bad...but different.
First of all...I am a vintage pachinko guy...and have tried to like pachislos...but they don't really do it for me. I bought a Biohazard a few years ago...paid more for it than anything I had...but wasn't a bad price for what they were selling for. I think it was $350 for the machine, about 1500 to 2000 balls, a Japanese parlor tray and a stand. I actually like it...but it still is just a pachislo. It has a good ( like 10 position ) volume control. At lowest position, it is almost quiet enough. It has a fairly large display ( I think 17" diagonal measurement) that plays video based upon results of your spins. I expected it to be more interactive...but I'm not even sure what that means! I somehow expected more out of it...but I don't really like pachislos to begin with. That being said...I do like Biohazard...which means, if you do like pachislos...it must be great!
Normally...people say "if it comes with tokens..." then whatever price may or may not be good. I say, regardless of ammount of tokens...if the machine works correctly, and you are not offended by the price...go for it! Biohazards don't pop up often...and tokens are always for sale. When they do come up for sale, collectors tend to bid the price up. If you find one flying under the radar...might be able to pick it up for a bargain...even it it is higher than other machines you are looking at.

Thanks so much...! I guess he was selling a newer biohazard . Not the 4-reel original...wonder if those are just as good!?

I have a Pachislo Babel machine that is coinless also. The issue that I have that it doesn't start. It has the same ELECO module as yours. The 9 pin socket is plugged into CN8 of the input board on the front door. There is a 2 pin male connector that isn't plugged into anything and a wire spliced into a cable in the back of the machine where the hopper was. The pictures you posted seems to have the 2 pin connector plugged into something but mine isn't. I tried putting a switch on it but it didn't do anything. All I have is the light below the coin slot flashing, credit = 0 and the belly neon on.

[Howitzer50]

I'm pretty sure the problem is caused by the eleco module but I can't find a replacement online. If you were successful converting your machine to tokens I would like to find out how it went. Thanks

[Howitzer50]

I'm pretty sure my problem is the ELECO module. Can't find any replacements on line. Was wondering if you had any difficulties converting back to token play? On my machine all coin shoots and coin mechanisms have been removed. One ebay seller has the correct hopper but not all parts so I'm hesitant to go that way unless I can purchase everything needed. Thanks for your assistance.
