Bally 742A
« on: October 06, 2017, 01:49:52 PM »
Need some help with a new project I started, 742A. The machine lights up but will not take a coin, coin switch does nothing, if I Spin the reels and stop it on a payline it pays as it should. I have noticed several things that I need help on, first is the switch at the back of the dash pot ( 1st photo) it appears that something is missing here as the switch does not do anything because it is never contacted with anything.

The Second is a broken blue wire with a red trace that is behind the beau plug for the hopper (2nd photo) I have traced the wire and it goes to the coin switch (3rd photo) I do not know where it needs to be reattached to ??

Thanks for any help

By looking at you picture I would think that loose wire came from on of the white crimp connections that I can see behind the hoppers beau plug. It doesn't look long enough to reach the hoppers beau plug.

Its long enough to reach the beau plug but I do not see any missing wires from the beau plug, it traces over to the coin switch which is not registering any coins, I also noticed that the coin diverter is not working either. Will not takes coins or add credit by using the switch, if you manually pull the handle the reels spin and it will pay out correct amount...

I separated the wire bundles behind the beau plug and the wire is not long enough to reach the beau plug ( good call ) it would have had to come from either the bottom of one of the fuse holders or one of the 4 wire groups with the white caps on them to the left near the transformer, also the blue wire with the red trace can be seen coming from the transformer its self which means it should be carrying a load right ?

I forgot the dash pot switch.. The L shaped stop bracket just in front of the air cylinder is tipped forward.. I should be up against the air cylinder. This will allow the the dash pot switch to be closed, by allowing the handle to come farther back. There is one Phillips screw holding that L bracket in place.. With the dash pot switch open, your machine will not accept coins, and the diverter coil below the coin switch will not be energized with the dash pot switch open also.. Adjust that stop bracket and see what happens..

Gary,

Thank you very much, that resolves the dash pot switch, I missed that one, I have not put the hopper back in yet because of the broken wire, I think that wire goes to the bottom of the 6 volt fuse holder, there is no wire there and my other machines all have a wire on the bottom of all the fuse holders. The coin switch makes a clicking sound now when pushed but does not unlock the handle, also coin light is not lite...

This will help confirm the blue red wire.
Try cleaning the coin relay switch contacts left side bottom of the reel mechanism.

The 6 volt fuse holder has a solid blue wire to the upper post but nothing on the bottom post, your picture shows the same blue wire on the first fuse holder on the left and a blue with red trace on the bottom, from what you picture shows I am pretty sure my blue wire should be on the bottom of the fuse holder... I have cleaned the contacts on the coin in switch but I have not put the beauplug back in until I figure the right spot for the broken wire...

From David's picture your broken wire does go the the fuse holder. I would cut and strip a new section on your Blue/red wire and solder it to the fuse holder. The fuse don't have the same color wire attached to both side of the fuse holders. The solid blue is the 6V, the orange is 50v, and your 3rd fuse is high voltage 110v. Solder your wire and attach the 4 screws holding your beau plug bracket and ground wire. Insert the hopper and see what it does.. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks David for you photo, that is where the blue wire with red trace belongs, bottom of the 6 volt fuse holder, after reattaching and putting the beau plug back in the machine fired up, insert coin light was on, coin accepted light comes on after coin and handle pulls, pays out when it should but still has some minor issues.

If the handle is not pulled all the way down as far as it will go it misfires and the reel will not spin, almost like it is tripping either to late or to early or the dashpot switch is engaging to late? . on a payout it sometimes will not have enough force to get the last coin out, but after several more pulls the coin will just fall out on its own, the last thing is that the bell does not ring even on a jackpot win...

Thanks again David & Gary for you help on getting this as far along as it is...

Good to see you're making progress on the machine.

Reels seem to be tripping before the index arms clear the reel slots.
Might need to adjust the L bracket (Trip Lever Stop Bracket) very bottom right side of reel mechanism.
This is a very slight adjustment either way so its good to take note before adjusting.
Most of the time the bracket is even with the back of the reel case assembly.
Also take a look at the (Trip Pawl), could be very oily and slipping/tripping before it should.
Check the associated spring to see if its in the proper position.
Both pointed out with red arrows.

The other this I always do is remove the air cylinder and remove the old cup seal. Clean and lightly grease the piston and reassemble. Then oil all your cross shafts and pivot point on the reels linkages. The latch paws are usually dry and stuck to the small cross shaft. That cross shaft should spin with your fingers, and the latch paws shouldn't move. Be careful not to damage your male beau plugs when oiling your reels linkages. I usually tip the reel assembly so the beau plug face up.

David, thank you, where can I find a full copy of the exploded view of the reel mech you just posted ? would be very handy to use to learn all the names of the parts and pieces. If I move the L bracket forward does that delay or increase the tripping of the reels ?
