pachinko powerflash 1

this video chronicles the cleaning, repair and first runs of a vintage pachinko called powerflash by nishijin in the 70's. it is a unique machine b/c it has lots of tulips that are activated by solenoids and levers in a second layer deep to the pachinko mechanism. unlike most vintage pachinko's, this one needs electricity to power the opening and closing of the tulips. like most pachinko's, though, it is still gravity fed and mechanical for the jackpot payout and bell sounds.

yes. there is probably a wire that got knocked loose. check out pachitalk for more info. you may need to trace back to the power supply and figure out where the open circuit is. also, check your fuses.

i took my back off to clean and upon placing it back on nothing worked. I did not mess with any wires and now none of the tulips open or anything. I notced something but didnt know if it a problem. on the clear solenoid it seems that the wires all connect or go around. on the left side mine is connected but the right side isn't anymore. I think maybe there was a broken fracture or i might ave to re solder? then again the lights don't turn on either when i plug in transformer. weird

Hi, where do I get my Nishijin Pachinko Machine repaired in NY?

thanks. yes, we've discussed if it's flash or flush on pachitalk. I usually just say powerflash/flush
