About this Battery Light Kit
The electrical components on vintage pachinko machines usually have weak solder joints or others issues. We recommend replacing all the components with new parts. While there are hundreds of manufacturers of pachinko machines and thousands of different models, the electronics are very similar. We have assembled this light kit to work with any machine; see basic installation instructions below.
Included in the Light Kit
- (1) Microswitch - long
- (2) 7.5 volt light bulbs
- (2) Light bulb bases
- (2) Rubber grommets
- (1) 9 volt battery clip
- (1) 9 volt battery
- (1) battery connector
- (8) feet 22 gauge wire
- (3) white cable clamps
Switches and Light Bulbs
Most pachinko machines have two switches and at least two light bulbs. One switch turns on a light when you need to refill the top supply tray with balls. The other switch activates when you get a jackpot and causes another light or lights to flash briefly. With our light kit you would hook up both lights to the one switch so they both flash when you get a jackpot. You can add another switch and more light bulbs to your order depending on how you would like to hook configure your machine.
Basic Installation Instructions
The kit includes the parts listed above and shown in the first picture. The other pictures show examples of the parts assembled with an extra light bulb. You will need a soldering iron and basic soldering skills to assemble this kit. You may want to take pictures or notes as you remove your old parts. If you are unsure of any of these steps, our electronics manuals cover installation of these parts in detail.
Remove all your old electrical components. Hold the microswitch in place and test getting a jackpot to make sure it activates or deactivates the switch. Depending on your machine, if the arm of the microswitch is too long, you can cut it. You may also have to trim away a plastic post on the machine if it is in the way of the best position for your switch.
Locate the placement of the light bulbs. Run the positive from the battery to the common 'C' post on the switch. Then use the red wire from the kit and solder it to the normally closed 'NC' post or the normally open 'NO' post on the switch, then to the side of each light bulb. Run the negative from the battery to the bottom of the light bulbs using the black wire in the kit to connect the bulbs.
