Pink Panther Pachislo Slot Machine Repair

This Japanese slot machine made its way to our repair shop this month. It came to us giving an error code on the screen and refused to play. Upon opening it we found some bent pins on the cable connectors and some cold solder on the mainboards. We dismantled eveverything, cleaned the rollers, resoldered the boards and it still gave us an error. Then we discovered that the machine needed a full hard reset. After the reset it was playing like a champ!

  1. Hi!
    Congrats on your success in restoring the vintage machine.
    I just bought a Yamaza King Pulsar Frog Revolution.
    It works well- light flashing, paying credits, reset done, odds changed, bonus game as it should be and very clean wiring inside BUT there is no sound. No sound when putting in tokens, no reel spin sound, no music nothing – just light flashing.
    I really know nothing about electrical circuit or anything and I know you’re from Edmonton but I am hoping you have contacts or friends in your industry who is within the GTA? Any help, advise is great appreciated. Thanks

      Unfortunately i don’t know enough about these machines to provide any insight nor do I know anyone in the GTA.

  2. Hi Daniel.
    I have the same Yamasa Pink Panther, Type “A”, pachislo machine (here in Los Angeles) that also works great – but your machine has one thing that my machine doesn’t have…the one arm bandit attachment – which I understand is a 3rd party add-on & VERY cool. What can you tell me about acquiring such a device (frankly, I’d simply send you my machine except for the fact that it weighs a ton and you are quite a distance away). I don’t expect this information for free. I’m serious – I actually MUST pay you for your knowledge – because people are always doing that to me: “Hey, can you do me a favor and shoot/edit my wedding for me…for free?!” “Ah, no. It’s how I make my living!” If you have any info (and you think a dummy like me could figure my way through the installation), that would be much appreciated! Or maybe you could obtain the device and sell it to me.
    Many thanks and Happy New Year!

      Thanks for getting in touch. Well this particular unit came with it so not too sure but if there’s any place that would know, it would be a website called http://www.pachitalk.com. They have a wealth of information and a very healthy forum. Anyawys, I’m billing you for each and every word that i’m currently typing. All the best and happy new year to you too!
