Bally 1046 - Needs door lock mechanism / tilt

[chedderboy]

After not being able to enjoy the slots for a while, I came across a Bally 1046 crisis-cross EM quarter slot machine.  I bought it from an antique flea market and took a gamble.  It needs some love, but it appears it is missing parts from the door.  I need to locate the door lock mechanism (move up and down off lock movement) from the door lock cam to the moving parts.


Anyone have one of these for sale?  Is this mechanism one assembly? 


I also see the tilt light on.  The machine wants to play but it needs to be shopped out.  Is the tilt light some switch or something that can be reset?






This model is identical to the Bally 873, with the exception being it was made with a single fluorescent light up top instead of the 20+ single bulbs.

I remember my first machine had no door latch after I got it running I bought another machine for the door latch after I got the second machine running I bought two more machines then all of a sudden I had 50 it's a sickness a disease be careful

on a serious note I shipped my last door latch 2 weeks ago
there are several people on here with those parts they will be glad to sell them to you

Door lock, latch assembly, hopper star, and lock cam all acquired.  Machine to a slot mechanic for some love to bring it back to life.  I patiently await the call to pick it up :-)

Your are right Jon, it is a sickness or disease. Some of us just have it worst than others.
Looking forward to seeing the finishes 1046 machine. Re the tilt light, sometimes on the 1088 it will come on after some monthly maintenance. I just trip the coin in switch and good to go. One of these days I'll have to get into it to see what activates the light.

well Dave if you have a schematic for it I will help you I am trying to get all the schematics I can for my Facebook page I think people selling them online in PDF form is not right I understand you have to make a living fortunately the only ones I can find online I already have but I would love that 1088 if you have it and I got some more parts gathered up for you

Jon-
on your facebook page, why is the belly glass upside down on that old Harrah's machine?

before I put the glass in I drink a 12-pack maybe more and some Jack
 

I had that frame upside down so it would sit on the Shelf with a cord on it I still have several more on the Shelf plugged in it is turned right side up now in the machine I thought I posted a picture on there of it I still need to do the artwork on it it was a 742a cabinet I built a 1088 in

[Jon]

if you go back in my Facebook  page you will see now the glasses right side up

Tilt light is probably due to a slam switch or two, generally in top unit, and they are weighted switches that either make or break when the machine is banged, or 'slammed', kind of like what they do on pinball machines.
You can either bend the switch open or closed (depending on which type it is), or disable the relay that it runs.

I am not as elegant of a speaker old Reno but a picture is worth a thousand words

Your first reason would explain it, but I know you are kidding around.   

The Harrah's machine I see with the upside down belly glass is in the video section on your facebook page.

yes and I uploaded a new picture with an old man playing it from the neighborhood if you go back to my Facebook page you will see it  right side up now
