This may be a ridiculous question but I'm going to an arcade in Akihabara for the UFO catchers and I'd like to know some phrases in Japanese so I can ask thee employees for help.
eg:Can you help me reset this machine?

"Sumimasen, mou sukoshi ichi wo zurashite kudasai" Excuse me, please adjust a little
"Sumimasen, keihin ga ochimasen" Excuse me, the item was caught

Just an additional explanation on tokyo frieng 48's useful comments. This sentence clearly says "Excuse me, please adjust the position/location a little more." I guess this is assuming the positions of the items in the UFO catcher machine :)
You might need: - Ryogae shite kudasai. (Please change some money - into coins.)
Do you ever need to have the machine "reset", if it's a UFO catcher?

Thanks for the answers and yes I do need to ask the employee to reset maybe if someone just finished the UFO catcher and caught the figure.
*forgot to say that I was only interested in the anime figure UFO catchers

Oh so you mean "reset" as in refilling the machine with additional items/prizes, not resetting due to video game screen freezing up or anything like that :)
I guess the staff would decide when to refill, but you could say: - Keihin ga nakunatta node, hojuu shite moraemasu ka? (As the prizes are gone, could you refill?) - Hoshikatta keihin ga nakunatta node, hojuu shite moraemasu ka? (As the prizes that I wanted are gone, could you refill?)
