Well, in short, I've aquired an old pachinko machine...it's in pretty
good condition, but the wires are cut in a few places and I need to
find out either the specific machine's electronics or even just a
general idea of the function of it (or any pachinko machine from the
late 70s-Present.) Anyone know of any sites/forums/people etc. that
would know or have datasheets of this kind of stuff?
I'm thinking about rebuilding most of it (since it doesn't have a full
cabinet or backing) and if necessary just make a new PCB with custom
circuitry, but before I do that I need to know exactly what it uses.
Any help, even remote would be appreciated. In the meantime I'll keep
searching.
It's a Sanyo Bussan machine....the only identifiers I could find with
other possible names of the machine are "ultora" in the centre with a
bunch of spanish-esque themed graphics.

It's sort of a Japanese cross between a pinball machine and a slot
machine. The object is to win the steel balls, and you trade them in
for prizes. It operates like a vertical pinball machine, in the same
style as "plinko" on The Price is Right...which I'm sure you've seen at
least once.
