Couple Questions on a new to me machine

[Wes910]

Hello, I just picked up pachinko machine of CL for 50 bucks. Ive been a long time pachislo fan and decide to make the dive in to these fancy machines.
I have a couple of question refer to the image for the numbers

#1 why does this light always stay on no the other? the ball hopper on top is full?
#2 what the heck is this? it pushed the buttons and nothing

thanks

Welcome Aboard

Your journey to the Dark Side is almost complete

What you seem to have there is a Nishjin CR撃墜王 from 1995 (I think) Which Google translates to Wang Shot Down


I don't have that game or frame, but to my experience The light means either low on balls (or balls not making it to the sensor) or it needs to payout balls but can't.
Are there any lights or anything on the back to indicate an error?
Does it pay out anything when you get a ball in the start pocket?

As for the 2 buttons on the front. These are ball loan buttons for use in parlours they don't work in the home enviroment unless you get a special dongle that was developed and made by one of our members (daverob) When plugged in the front digit display and buttons work.

"Wang Shot Down", huh... reminds me of my..uh... "luck" lately...

theres a letter H on the back, However i'll fill the hopper up some or all the balls when go in the top tray you the balls launch from some times they go in the pay out some times they all dump in the bucket in the back .
Also it has this across the crt screen

Sounds like the ball dump lever on the back isn't closed fully. When idle, the back rear hopper should be full and should dispenser balls to the front tray on a ball entering the win pocket. Balls should only come out the back after they have been fired from the shooter or the ball dump lever has been moved. Also if the payout motor isn't seated properly. Again these are generic as I don't have that frame. Don't have my kanji dictionary handy at the moment so can't translate for you. sorry. Maybe someone else will be along to do it or offer more advice

Seems to be weight driven once you get a certain amount of balls in the top hopper then some come out

That don't sound right.

Need at least 100 balls in the back. 500 to make it playable

I agree with clam about it not being a weight issue,it sounds like it might be a ball jam
(perhaps something is blocking only one payout track(if there are two or more tracks present)It might be allowing only a partial payout as well as registering as a hopper jam

something similar has happened to me on a couple of machines in the past

also, make sure and check all the connections related to the payout motor

BTW: interesting looking machine you have there ,and how on earth did i miss it!

hope you machine is up and running soon! Good luck!

Ive been looking for a machine for little bit and all I could find in the dallas area where older ones. I like the newer ones with more action. I posted a wanted ad and some one sent me a email with it. Do you know of any one else selling modern machines or how about some more balls for sale??

[alphaminor]

Great news! Congratulations on a quick and easy fix!
After you play a bit let us know what you think of it

cheers
