    Default How do you open your pachinko machine without the key

    I just finished my wall mount cabinet and I'm wondering what would be the best way to access back of pachinko machine, open it with a string, screw locking mechanism open with the small screw, or something else... Thank you

    Do you want to be able to open it , (opening mechanism) from the top or from the bottom ?

    I know the different ways to open it, I'm just wondering what's most commonly used by other people.

    Seeing as modern machine keys are easy to get. I'm guessing this is a vintage?

    It's missing the finger hold bar by the ball flipper lever


    On the right hand side of your wall hanging cabinet you have to cut a slot to get to the door levers in the back of the machine to open the machine up .

    Again

    Can you post a few pictures of the inside door lever mechanism, up high, down low, and also a straight on shot from the back to see the mechanism's full length and "locking catch points" ?
    I have another idea that might possibly work , other than the slot method.

    A rod with a ring pull either out the top or bottom might be an option. Or if teh lock is still present, find teh right key. or de-pin the lock
