Title: Picked up a machine for free, don't have too much information on it...
Post by: kingted on June 04, 2020, 07:18:22 pm
Anyone have any info on it? Got it for free, doesn't work, haven't tried to power it on yet, I'd like to get it open but don't have a key...

Can I just put a new plug on this and plug it in? The 100v is confusing me. As for the the key, I'd rather not drill it out. Is this a common type of lock? Are there master keys? Thanks in advance.

You should be able to get into it from the back.

Just put a new plug on it, 110V is close enough.

Hi, thanks for the reply. The cabinet is covered with these one way rivet type fasteners which I believe is because it's a slot machine type game (maybe I'm wrong). The only way I could see getting in through the back is by cutting it open although there is a small hole where I can see inside and even see the lock up front but I can't really reach it.

I doesnt do you any good if you can't get into it, mice may have been in there and at best would only be a fire hazzard...Original, is a fun thought but not really practical sometimes if it could potentially burn your house down...I would personally drill the lock and not lose a minutes sleep.

That's a "pachislo" Japanese slot machine.
