Used some rubbing alcohol and paper to clean the contacts, they were pretty dirty. One of the metal things looks like it's turned a little so the silver contact might not be making good contact against it?

On all the pictures I've seen of other Bally 809 slot machines i haven't seen a resistor coming off of the coin switch like the one on my slot machine. The resistor goes from the coin switch to the coin diverter. And i dont see one on any of the wiring diagrams i have? Should it be on there does any one know?

I would probably use something a little more aggressive than alcohol 600 grit wet dry sandpaper as far as the resistor yes it belongs there it keeps the point on the switch in the switch on the hopper from flashing and burning up

You don't want to use sandpaper on those contacts as the
silver plating is very thin and then the brass underneath will burn away.
The old slot technician trick is alcohol and a dollar bill.

That would be very unusual prior to 78 that you solder silver contacts on almost all switches on these machines they are not plated they are solid I have taken apart thousands of the switch contacts when silver was very high and sent them in I think I said in over 200 oz of silver contacts none of them were plated all newer things are plated but the old ones were solid silver clean them reface them make them look good

Should i straighten the arm that is turned a little? and there was continuity when i tested it.

If it read good with the meter then leave them alone. You can create a bigger headache. When checking for continuity alway use you meter where the wires are soldered on as not to put more pressure on the contact. If you assist the contact you can get a false reading.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #87 on:** October 04, 2018, 02:06:02 PM »

That's where i checked for continuity at, the solder points.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #88 on:** October 05, 2018, 11:54:33 AM »

Tried that, got continuity when i tested it after soldiering, but when i taped the coin switch it wouldn't let me pull the handle down.

When the switch goes down it releases the coin relay located on the left lower side of the reel mechanism.
Then when the switch returns back up in many cases it releases the handle.

The coin in switch can be seen and heard when its tripped.
You may have to reset this latch switch by pulling the handle. This can be done by pulling the handle release stop forward enabling the handle to be pulled.

One other thing that can cause a problem with these Bally type slots are the beau plugs that connect the reels, hopper and top odds unit to the cabinet. These plugs will tarnish just like the contacts do. To clean those a new scotch bright pad or the 600 grit wet/dry sand paper.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #91 on:** October 05, 2018, 03:54:19 PM »

I pulled the reels out, and right now where you have "B" marked, mine isn't touching like yours is.

DavidLee · « **Reply #92 on:** October 05, 2018, 05:30:34 PM »

Use the air cylinder â€œJâ€ bar and kick the reels by pushing it into the cylinder.
Watch the slide lever to see if it closes the B switch contacts. Most likely it will.
If the B switch contacts are open in its resting state then most likely itâ€™s not at fault.
Itâ€™s when it closes it becomes part of a circuit.

Or just push the slide lever back to see if the contacts close.

Did the coin relay switch release when the coin in switch was depressed?

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #93 on:** October 06, 2018, 09:39:19 AM »

It closed when i did that, and when reels stopped spinning it opened. mine doesn't have a resistor like yours does? Is that where the resistor on my coin switch should be?

Amechanic · « **Reply #94 on:** October 06, 2018, 09:43:40 AM »

As Jon has told you in earlier post.. That resistor belong on the coin switch. Itâ€™s not your problem and it is correct.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #95 on:** October 06, 2018, 11:49:26 AM »

What should i try next? Cleaned the plugs a long time ago with super contact cleaner w/ poly phenyl ether, so they should be good.

DavidLee · « **Reply #96 on:** October 06, 2018, 03:35:05 PM »

The photo I posted is just a reference to the switch locations on the reel mechanism.
Going to check out the coin relay switch on an actual 809 machine.
There is a possibility that the contact leaf is on the wrong side of the actuator stud.
Will let you know in about an hour when I get back to the shop.
Iâ€™m assuming your machine is a 809, as its been awhile since this post was started and I havenâ€™t been back to page one.

Photos of 809 Coin Relay latched.
Then unlatched.

DavidLee · « **Reply #98 on:** October 06, 2018, 04:56:02 PM »

Photos of 809 and coin in switch.

Also coin in switch 809. Appears the resistor has been cut out of the machine.
In the photo there is a short section of the resistor wire still in the solder joint.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #99 on:** October 06, 2018, 06:34:14 PM »

Mine looks like its latched, and this one looks like it is off to the side a little. i have 2 yellow wires and the resistor coming off of that post.
