I'd like to start out that I'd gladly pass a few bucks anyone's way that can help- I don't believe that there's free lunch, just want to get this machine up and working again!Pre:
I got this Fortune 1 game from my Aunt & Uncle when they wanted it out of their house, and I wanted it for decoration really. It WAS fully functional and it did work when they gave it to me. I let it sit however for about a year before I decided to turn it back on and get it working. Well, when I did- the bell rung very loud, the coin tumbler turn constantly- pausing for a half second every second, the hold buttons blink, and the light on the top blinks as well. On the screen the words "Call Attendant" and "Door Open: N01" shows up.
After removing the bell cover so I could at least keep this on long enough without having my neighbors call the police, I tired about everything I could to get this thing to reset. Read some posts here about pressing the reset button for 5 seconds, and turning the side key, and all sorts of stuff. I've reset the boards, bought new optics, held the optics together, confirmed they were working via cellphone camera, and so forth and so on. I just don't know what else to try. There's a "Self Test" button, and "Cursor Adv" button. Also I flipped a reset dip switch on one of the boards hoping that would help, but to no avail.
Can any one help?! I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much-
