Your coil is fine, looked a little different than I remembered in the photo.
Sorry for any confusion.

I'm not trying to get any one mad because i am very greatful for everyone's help, and would like everyone to still help me get my slot machine running again. I got it for my Mom before she passed away, and everything worked on it when i gave it to her. It got sold and i just got it back a couple of months ago. So it is special to me and i want to fix it up and make it look nice. I need all the help i can get, and i'll donate again when i can. Thank you.

I wasn't able to take the coil out and put power to it, but i did plug it back in and put a piece of metal by it and it did not pull it towards it. The orange wire going to the coil is the hot one right? That yellow wire comes off of it so it shouldn't touch metal right?

DavidLee · « **Reply #63 on:** September 29, 2018, 02:04:36 PM »

The coil may not be getting power. There are a few switch/contacts between the coin in switch and the coil.

If anyone of these switches in the path are dirty or out of adjustment it could be part of the problem.

See attached 809 schematic.

I can't really do anything about the coil until i get one monday, i did test it with the volt meter on AC and it said 52 volts. When i put the top shelf glass back in it's really really hard to get it in, i have to push the left side of the tray that holds the lights and stuff in really far to get the window frame to slide down, and now the top shelf lights don't work. If the frame and glass isn't on there i can adjust the tray and the lights will work. Any suggestions on what to do and how to fix that? Thank you

Top unit may have a bent beau plug pin or there is a foreign object keeping it from going back all the way.
Glass should slide up and off fairly easy.
Sometime the latching mechanisms are out of alignment thus making it harder to re-install.

Slightly moving individual units Hopper, reel and top unit will sometimes solve a connection problem.

I'm gonna replace the lockout coil (scavenger) on my 809. Can someone please tell me what i should do about that loose yellow wire that is attached to the orange wire going to the coil? Thank you

Does anyone have a Bally E-108-92 coin switch they can sell me for my Bally 809 nickle slot machine?

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #68 on:** October 02, 2018, 11:57:28 AM »

No more help?

If no one steps up pretty quick I will pull one off a door in the game room I know I have a couple of hundred brand new in one of 500 boxes of parts by brought with me I don't have anything organized yet it is a freaking disaster as I find parts I ship them to people that have been asking for them for years I'm sure someone has one they'll sell you cheap a whole lot better than eBay some of those people are crazy

Whatâ€™s wrong with the switch that was on the machine?

Amechanic · « **Reply #71 on:** October 02, 2018, 01:36:09 PM »

This thread of problems seems to be going no where... You need to fix one problem at a time. The scavenger coil is not nessessary at this time. You can test your game by just flicking the coin switch. If you try playing one or more coins does the handle release so you can pull the handle? Is the handle hard to pull? Thatâ€™s a sign of a sticky air cylinder. Fix one thing then move to the next problem. Throwing money and parts at a machine is not how to fix it.
If you go to the post from Jon, he has a link to his Facebook page. There you will find how to videos.

Thank you, that's what i needed. I can flick the coin switch and pull he handle, reels spin and everything. It does not register a second or third coin and so on. One of the posts on my coin switch broke off, that's why i need a new coin switch. I put a new scavenger coil on yesterday, and it did not help. The handle pulls real easy. What should i try next?

Jon · « **Reply #73 on:** October 03, 2018, 01:13:35 PM »

Okay p.m. me on here or on Facebook and I will get one off a door and send it to you send me your address your name zip code all that happy crap all three wires need to be on for the Step Up unit to step up

The trouble shooting guide i have says something about dashpot switch might be open (pull dashpot arm forward), not sure where the dashpot switch is at?

Jon · « **Reply #75 on:** October 03, 2018, 01:53:03 PM »

The dash Parts which is on the air solenoid on the right side of the real machine it is a grade tube about 1 inch around about 7 in Long towards the back of the real machine there is a switch if that are tube cylinder is sticky you must take it apart and clean it it should work freely and smoothly if you do not have the manual for this machine I recommend going to my Facebook page going down and finding the e m Manuel or you can make a contribution here and download it from the file structure here either way you need that manual so we're both on the same page and I can talk you through repairs and while you're on my Facebook page look for the video number one it starts off a little slow but the guy is a heck of a tech he's been in the business a long time retired out of it and he knows what he's doing watch the video it'll get you through most of your initial problems with this machine even I learn something every time I watch it

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #76 on:** October 03, 2018, 02:54:35 PM »

This right here? I grabbed the lever that is attached to the spring and it moves freely. i'll check out that video on your facebook page. The video wont play, it just spins and spins. I already have that Bally E M manual and have been looking at it.

Amechanic · « **Reply #77 on:** October 03, 2018, 03:18:43 PM »

This is the dash pot switch. Make sure the contacts are closed and making a good connection. I like to clean contacts with rubbing alcohol and a folded piece of paper or s q-tip if the contact opens wide enough. You donâ€™t want to bend these switches. This is another good place to use your meter to check the Continuity of the contacts. They may look closed but are they transferring voltage? These are a silver tip contact that can tarnish and loose it Ability to transfer voltage.

Jon · « **Reply #78 on:** October 03, 2018, 03:20:40 PM »

Like I said send me a message with your address etc etc I will send you a switch and yes that is the part and the switch behind it looks good

DavidLee · « **Reply #79 on:** October 03, 2018, 05:10:16 PM »

Re the coin in switch. In a pinch those small thin terminals on the switch can be extended.
By carving out around the area that is broken off to expose enough of the remaining terminal to solder a solid piece of copper wire.
Make it at least 1/4 to 3/8s inches long and out of a number 14 or 16 gauge wire. The tricky part is soldering on the old wires without
disturbing the terminal solder joint. This will be fragile, but if successful your temporary back in business.

According to the attached schematic there is just one relay/switch between the coin in switch and the odds unit step up coil.
This relay is clearly marked if the original marking is still in place. Most likely located on the back of the odds unit in the upper cabinet.
Try cleaning the contacts related to this relay and inspect it for proper function.

If you go on YouTube and type in odds unit. You can see the workings of a step up relay.

The blue line follows the circuit that controls the odds unit step up.
