28° in the game room

[Jon]

This beautiful machine was serviced before I got it my question is what kind of oil did they put in here cold as a witches tit in the game room all the other machines haf to warm up for an hour or two before I can play them this machine you plug it in turn it on insert coin and everything works as it should I have serviced a lot of these machines never had one worked in this cold of temperature till it warms up

Nice machine Jon.
Maybe they used some special NASA lubricant for outer space temperatures.
Going to post photos of the coin box soon.

I am passed the wife limit of 10 games with a total of 11 Bally EM slots and Fortune 1 IGT machines.  I am surprised that of the Ballys no one said that they like a 5 line 873 the best.  It certainly is a crown favorite at my home.  I have two.  Both 5 cent.   When the octogenarian in laws are here I cant get near either one of them.  No complaints.  Only guys and gals on this list can appreciate the joy of someone playing these games that you put your blood sweat and tears in to restoring and maintaining .  To see a smile come across those wrinkled faces when they get a substantial hit makes it all worth while for me.


My mother who is up in age is flying in tomorrow for the holidays.  The first thing she asked me is are all of the slot machines working.  Priceless.




Happy Holidays to you all, my extended family

Yes Gary that is one of the machines from Brian that's how he paid me to go fix a few machines it is a beautiful machine I have a green one just like it a Jubilee it is a beautiful Machine 2 unfortunately it is still in storage I have got to get a handle on the game room so I can bring the rest of the games home I've been working on the garage all week to get the generator inside and the Kawasaki side by side figure I have no work to do so I'm cleaning the garage that is my primary ambition I have so many parts boxed up out there I cannot find I've been looking for a control board I seen a couple of months ago for Brian's new machine I know it's in one of those boxes just haven't found it yet

LOL Jon,  I know the feeling very well about see a certain part, then not being able to find it again for another month..     I seem to do it myself more often as my hair turns more Grey the Brown..

Jon, nice looking machine.  Looks clean.   15 quarters max play, bet it was popular in casinos. 


Hope you can get some heat pumped into game room before the real cold weather hits. 


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

You should ask Brian if he used something special to lube this machine? I found a spray by PB Blaster for the garage doors rollers and pivot points, it's some slick spray lube that frees up sticky linkages quickly in these older Bally's..
