EXPLANATION FOR PARTS

(5) Slide bar: If you push the bar to the left, balls in Playing Tray(2) will be moved to Receiver ray(7).
(10) Interlocking Device: Right side edge must be kept up and left side down. If it is not in correct condition, you cannot get prize balls.
(11) Opener for Stopper(9): If you push Opener(11), Stopper(9) opens and balls in Feeder Tray(8) move to Lost Ball Outlet(14).
(12) Adjuster of Interlocking Device: When Interlocking Device(10) is not in correct condition, push up this adjuster.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

(A) Place machine upright on level surface.
(B) Make sure that Stopper(9) is locked (To move this stopper to the right so that balls won't fall into Lost Ball Outlet(14).
(C) There are approximately 400 balls supplied with your machine. Load about  three fourths balls in Feeder Tray(8) and the remaining balls in Playing Tray(2).
(D) To play, press Playing Lever(6) by thumb while grasping bar with fingers, and snap the lever.
(E) Very Important: Don't play when Feeder Tray(8) is empty. If you play, won balls will be stopped in Won Ball Outlet(13). (When won balls are stopped there, load about 200 balls in Feeder Tray(8) and then push Opener for Stopper(11) so that the balls in Feeder Tray(8) will drop to Lost Ball Outlet(14) and at the same time the stopped balls will drop out.)

Additional info on how the ball releases the "Won" balls


The win system works on gravity alone.
The ball goes into a hole in the front, drops onto a ramp, rolls into the See-Saw (10), this tips down
releasing the ball onto the Paddle(13) whose linkage releases the "Won" balls, these balls
cascade down striking a flat lever that resets the See-Saw(10) and releases the ball trapped on the
Paddle(13) so the Paddle(13) can reset back to the rest position. The system is now ready for the
next ball.

REMARKS*

A key is not necessary (nor available) to open the front panel even though there is a key hole in front. You can easily open the front panel by lifting up Panel Locking Lever(15).*

No electrical current or battery is needed to play. Pachinko works -completely  by the force of gravity.
The lighting circuit is very simple consisting of a "Balls Out" and "Winner!" lights. They use 10V lights, and can be powered by an AC adapter rated 9V(AC or DC) @ 500MA. Many sources, including Radio Shack.
