Just installed the reel glass.

I have been restoring the win meter. It has some problems. Hopefully it will work after the repairs that I've done to it.

Getting more done. Reel trim, transformer, odds and ends.

Pictures continued.
Restoration of the inside, every part was cleaned. The transformer is questionable, since I can't test it until the new fuse holders come in.
You have to admit its one nice cabinet after I restored it.

One issue is the first reel. It is not aligned. The reels were in really, really, piss poor condition, someone did some crappy work, now they spin, every part was cleaned by hand, all of the hardened grease was removed. I centered the reels to the glass.

So I guess it a 100% better than before, now I have to adjust the reels, check everything out.

The morning has been productive (sometimes I feel like I am going in circles).
The first and third wheel was off, see the first photo, I was able to align the reels up perfectly.

The door was off, dragging, the hinges have some wear on them, I was able to adjust the door up a bit causing the door to be aligned again, and now the locking bar is smooth.

On to the next problem. The hopper chute, and the door are not aligned, when I purchased the slot machine the door chute was mangled. I was able to straighten out the door chute, now I need to do is move the chute over a bit.

I have the hopper wiring mostly completed, the issue is that the scoop is a bit to long. I need to figure out that one out next.

I removed the scoop extension and the hopper fit, so I'm on the right path.

This is BEFORE I restored the Bally 1114, as you can see it was in bad shape.

David Walz · « **Reply #70 on:** August 10, 2023, 08:11:36 PM »

I have this chime that is in really poor shape. I found parts for it in a Bally pinball site.

Badbaud/KLAR is awesome everyone! Those slot machine people are great.

Monti's Slot shop is great. They have a lot of EM Bally slot parts, great people.

Getting the paper tags put back into place.

David Walz · « **Reply #74 on:** August 11, 2023, 07:17:08 PM »

Getting the belly lights restored, new sockets, new bulbs, etc. The low boy belly lights advances when you put $1.00 coins in the slot machine.

I found an example of a $1.00, 1114 photo on the forum.

Bally 1114 belly lights.

David Walz · « **Reply #76 on:** August 12, 2023, 07:12:37 AM »

Only on the $1.00 coin will you find this cash box meter micro switch.

David Walz · « **Reply #77 on:** August 12, 2023, 07:21:40 AM »

The screw threads have been stripped, I'll tap new threads.

David Walz · « **Reply #78 on:** August 12, 2023, 04:58:40 PM »

Working on the belly lights.

Belly restoration.

Finishing up installing the wiring, testing the wiring, putting the paper cover back on the back.
