r/Pachinko

Hey everyone, so someone in my area is selling this pachinko machine. He says it powers on and lights up, has no balls to test it (i have some) and he says he's having trouble getting the rest to work. I have some theories...

Firstly can y'all identify from.the picture if it has a 24 to 12 converter?

Is it possible that it is missing the "key" dongle thing that pulls it out of display mode?

Secondly, is it possible that the center mechanism is non functional until a ball lands in the JP chance spot?

Any additional details are welcomed.

Lastly hes asking 50 bucks. Good deal even if its a fixer upper?

I'm newer to pachinko but definitely have the confidence to get it running.

Just a resistor wasn’t enough because once anything like a jackpot happens it starts being mega loud again. Now I can easily change the volume, connect it to a headset or my soundbar :)

honestly kind of an insane deal, should i do it?

It seems the booth seller doesn't know what it is...and tbh...I myself, didn't really know what it was until I lensed it. Decided to share it for you guys... I'm not particularly into or know anything about the game, but if you guys know how rare it is or any other info on it at all...really, I may go back and take another look at it.

So I recently purchased a (2005?) modern pachinko machine: Monster Village.

It was playing a specific song, despite getting many jackpots, but now it’s playing a completely different song and a tiny ghost popped up in the corner holding a sign that says “Time Saving mode”.

The “reel animations” do seem a bit faster than before. But I’m curious what activated this?

There are 3 lights under the screen: Moons = Fever Mode. Bats = Reel Spin tally…. And there is a Lightning Bolt which is currently lit that I have no clue? Does Lightning Bolt mean Time Saving Mode?

Anyone familiar with these more modern machines?

Not in the best of conditions, this thing has seen some use for sure but it does work fine. Definitely needs a bit of TLC. I plan on cleaning thoroughly though the electronics do seem kinda fragile, the screen got disconnected in transport as the cable is a bit loose.

I like taking creative liberties with these projects. I made these to give variety in difficulty. The far left is easy to score on, the middle is extremely difficult (I've only scored on it 3 times in the past 2 months), while the right is the standard layout.

Pachinko.

Can someone Identify this model? I got it from a grandparents basement. I was able to get the basic function working but the jackpot doesn't pay out unless I activate it from the back manually. There is a loose piece as well, not sure where it goes. If somebody has a manual (in English) I can start putting it together and cleaning it. Thanks in advance!
