Need Help - Heiwa Modern Pachinko Machine Power on But not working

[lakey]

Hi I am super new to Pachinko machine. I bought one year ago from a estate sale. It's power on. But the switch doesn't do anything after I turned it. When I turned it for a few seconds. It will lock some balls into the machine. But only a few. I can hear the sound of motor running. Nothing else happened. Hope I can get some trouble shooting here! Please let me know if you need any future info about the machine.

Here are some photos

also double check you have enough pachinko balls in the rear top hopper for payouts and just pop a handful in the tray at the front for shooting, do let us know if you still have problems and I'm sure our members will assist with trouble shooting

The machine is a famous one in Japan for being the first pachinko with a screen (if I rememebr rightly)

Is your screen working, If you drop a ball in the start pocket by hand, does it payout? do the video reels spin?

Hello lakey and welcome to the group

Some great starter advice form the others! Nice looking machine, do let us know how you progress.

WELCOME!!!

If you open the front glass/window there should be a thing you can push down that will let you swing the front upper tray out of the way so you can check to see if everything is working right and also for blockages!!

Hi Hanabi, I finally got time to check with it. I read both thread. But no luck. Right after I plug the power cord. The stop latch will open and all the ball in the top feeder will fall out... I found a latch near the top feeder that I can manually close it. Then I can stop the other latch being open. I am not sure if my description make sense... And the switch knob does make hitting action. But it won't hit the ball which is very weird.

IMG_4377.JPGthis is after i load the top feeder.
IMG_4376.JPGis this the stop latch?
IMG_4375.JPGthis is the manual latch i was talking about.

Hi MrGneiss, I did open the front glass and the front upper tray. I dont think there's a blockage. The ball can be load to the shooting position but the knob arm wont hit the ball...

IMG_4381.jpg this is the furthest the arm goes. t

About two tray. Should be at least 500+

I don't have anything of this era. Shouldn't there be a spring or tip on that arm to strike the balls?

Does the hammer actually move but not fire the balls?
When you say all the balls drain from the top tank. Do they fall out the back or into the front tray.

I'll have a better look at the pics later when I'm on the PC

your missing the shooter spring.. there is a spring with a tip on it or just a piece of rubber that is missing from this pic.. that is the reason your machine will not shoot balls..

sounds like you have a payout issue as well...

I have a Heiwa model that is a year or two newer so some of my set-up is different. The latch along the ball track appears to be part of the ball dump system which serves to empty the reward hopper. On the front left side there is a plastic yellow piece that leads to the the latch alongside the wooden frame. (used if mounted in a cabinet or parlor) The plastic part with the red paint looks like it turns on/off a micro switch that may relate to the balls dropping out if they are in fact dropping out the rear of the machine and not the front. Try to see if moving the red painted part changes anything while the power is on. You could also see if one of the latches will move freely one after another. My thinking is that the ball dump system needs to be reset but mine is set up a little different.

The speaker was probably unplugged due to how loud these machines can be. The other connection should be in the same area of that wire. I think that I found access to the wires on mine from the backside behind a couple layers of parts. Sorry I can't offer a picture for your missing shooter part. My machine has a plunger style instead.

I have the same issue, the rubber piece is missing from the shooter.

Anyone have a lead on where I can order a replacement?

I’m not aware of any early modern replacement parts; besides what few parts like bumpers or ball track covers that might be interchangeable with vintage machines. You may have to try to rig something together yourself. Others have made their own ball striker using an eraser.

One popped up on yahoo auctions; 3500 yen plus shipping to the US though! Expensive piece of rubber...
