    Default Help Macross Frontier Error 7 Won't reset

    Hi, I just got my Macross Frontier today and after a bonus it got stuck in error 7. This means the payout tank is empty. I have filled the tank and tried to reset but nothing is happening. I can play, but no balls are paid. I'm a noob at this machine, so maybe I'm doing the reset wrong.

    Please help!

    Thanks in advance

    You might have something stuck in the payout assembly or something preventing the balls from reaching the payout assembly. Start with bthe basics, check balls are travelling all the way from the tank to the payout motor, Check the stopper gate is up, If thats clear, Dump the balls from the top tank, then remove the payout motor, Not sure how to do it on that frame. But they are normally simple so the parlour attendant can do it if needed.

    Saying that, I might have the service manual still for that one out in the gamesroom. I will see if I can find it after Clam Jr goes to sleep. I wanted to go out and play some pachi anyway.

    I just bought this same machine from Akimono. It only arrived tonight, and it's my first machine, so I'm still figuring stuff out. I have an error code 7 as well, but I also haven't figured out how to keep the balls put into the top back tray from falling out the back yet. I gather there is a lever somewhere I need to find. I'll post back with an update on any progress.

    sounds like the ball dump is open.. i have not kept up with the newer machines but there is a switch on the back right side that need to be flipped or reset..

    and of course

    I figured it out. It was a little loose screw that got stuck and was preventing the balls from falling into the machine.

    Thanks for your replies. A manual would be handy. If you have it in PDF I would be very grateful.
