Bally S6000 Coin Comparitor / Coin Optic Board Issue

[ScottWA]

Hello All,
 
I have recently taken on the project of repairing my mother’s Bally S6000 Slot Machine. I am new to the world but have done a lot of research recently so I have a base line knowledge of the parts and lingo.
 
Anyways, recently I had the battery replaced because it was causing error codes (by a service person). Now there are no longer error codes but I am still dealing with a few issues.
 
Currently whenever a coin is input, it gets diverted back down to the tray. When I inspect the Coin comparitor (Coin Mech CC-40) and the Coin Optic Board (Bally AS-3356-303) I see the Coin optic board has a lit Amber light and the Coin Comparitor has no light at all. This makes me think that the Coin Comparitor is not getting any power. Or the coin optic board / coin comparitor is faulty.
 
Does anyone know what the amber light on the coin optic board means? And if I should be looking into getting a new coin comparitor and/or optic board?
 
Thanks much everyone, you’re my only hope!
Scott

Hello. I’m working with the same problem. After messaging a friend late tonight, I believe it’s in a setting concerning the coin comparator. I be checking my machine again on Sunday afternoon. I’ll keep you posted.

Amber light on coin optic shows it has power . The light on the coin comparitor will not illuminate till the door is closed.  Try two things with the comparitor.  Replace the sample coin with a new coin and if that doesn't work, there is a small hole on the front of the comparitor with a + symbol for the sensitivity adjustment.  You will need a very small screwdriver to adjust. Be careful it is plastic.  It only rotates 3/4 turn . Turn the adjustment back and forth several times to be sure it gets a good internal connection and then stop at the full CCW position.  Try it.  If  that  doesn't work you most likely need to replace it.

I appreciate the response. I have already tried adjusting the coin comparitor sensitivity previously, although I will give it a shot one more time this week and also switch out the sample coin (nickel) to see if that helps.


If these fixes don't work, I will look into replacing the CC-40 coin comparitor. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement 12Volt CC-40? Currently I can't find one on ebay or other slot machine retail websites. If I can't find one, can I swap in a CC-16-D 12 volt Coin Comparitor instead? Those seem easier to come by but I wasn't sure if it was interchangeable. They visually look the same. Thanks much

Yes the CC16 will work. It has to have the gray coil wires.

Bally 6000 need a 24 volt coin comparitor not a 12 volt. Yes the coil wires will be grey.

Hello


I also have a 6000 that the coin comparitor gave me a few problems when I first got it. From what I understand the comparitor only accepts or rejects the coins. If its a good coin will go thru the optics if bad it will return it to the tray. The optics is what adds the credit for you to play. There was a guide just below the coin slot that was for large coins that I replaced with one the right size for quarters that solved a lot of jams and coin rejections. You mention 12 volt compairtor mine runs on 24v AC. The light on the compairtor is on when I open the door and the optic led flashes when coin goes past it.


I am very new at this but maybe be of some help.

Thanks, not sure why but the machine I am working on, which has worked previously, says 12V on it and it is a Pro Slot 6000. So that is the info I am going off here. And I assume I can't just step up to the 24V without having to swap other parts (but I could be wrong).

Yes the CC16 will work. It has to have the gray coil wires.

Although this machine has worked previously, it looks like the CC-40 I have has the green coil wires. Could that be an issue or are gray coil wires only necessary on the CC-16-D.
I attached a picture and it doesn't have the sample coin in place (Just before I get a flood of replies telling me to put the coin in. )
I attached a separate picture lower in the thread that shows my optic board if that helps anyone out.

Probably why it has quit working.
