I did try 2 cherry's before I did the 3 watermelons again, and it didn't do anything with the cherry's, no noise, nothing. I' making little labels and putting on my slot machine to remember and learn where things are. I have no problem trying what you guys tell me, and don't mind doing the work, as long as you guys don't mind telling me. AND THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE FOR ALL THE HELP. I tried watching the video on his facebook page, but all it did was spin around and around, it never started for me. Something is obviously wrong with the beau plugs on the top shelf unit because all it takes is a little wiggling for the lights to work, or not work. And when I put the glass in, they don't work. I'm kinda afraid to take things apart to clean and then put back on. But I guess I better take good pictures before and while I take apart things so I know how to put back.

Do as I suggested. Get some WD40 and spray the cabinet plugs. Then work the plugs together 4-5-6 times then wipe off the excess. Your light donâ€™t stay on because of the tarnish built up on those plugs. You must get those clean. Another good tool to have is a contact cleaner or electronics cleaner. It runs up to $10 for a spray can and can be found at electronics stores.
As for the Video of Jonâ€™s Facebook Iâ€™ve watch a little bits of it over the past week. Thereâ€™s nothing wrong with the video, but if your trying to watch it on a phone, you need to be connected to WiFi.

When working on the beau plugs, take time to inspect the soldering for loose or broken wires.
Got to look at each and every wire. It may look like its connected, but it may just be laying in place.

You have the best EM slot machine persons helping out.
Iâ€™m sure if you machine was in front of any of these guys it would be running in a day.

Have a friend with a slot machine that he couldnâ€™t figure out. Took to Vegas for repair.
The guy could not get it running. Took it to a person in town who was suppose to be Mr. Slot.
Still couldnâ€™t get it going.
I met him after all this when he came to look at a machine I had for sale. He explained the situation.
Told his I would like to take a crack at fixing the machine.
Went to his house one Saturday morning, within 30 minutes had the machine running like new.
Not braggâ€™n, just saying there are a lot of good mechanics on this site.

Already got the contact cleaner and will work on getting the plugs cleaner today. There is something wrong with my Dads laptop because it wouldn't show any of the new parts on K LAR'S website when I went to buy something. Will try watching video on another laptop. Have watched some stuff on youtube.

Started a new job and have been doing 10hr days so been pretty tired when i get home. cleaned the beau plugs on the top shelf, If i push the top tray in real good the top lights don't work, but the lockout coil energizes. If i pull the top shelf out a little, the lights will work, but the lockout coil doesn't energize. I just tapped the coin switch, with the top lights on, and the lockout coil did energize. Also, don't remember if the coin accepted light was lighting up before or not, but it does light up when i tap the coin switch, but the lights still don't progress if i tap coin switch more then one time.

They say if you take a pair of needle nose pliers and turn the male pins on the plug a hair about 5 degrees that it helps with the connection of the 2 plugs. I have taken a very fine wet/dry sandpaper, 500 or 600 grit and fold it small enough to go inside the female side of the plug to clean up some of the oxidation that has formed inside that plug. You might just want to work the feature units plugs in and out a half dozen times or more too.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #186 on:** October 19, 2018, 05:42:45 PM »

Thank you, I'll try that next. Gonna un screw the female beau plugs and check the solder there also.

DavidLee · « **Reply #187 on:** October 19, 2018, 06:39:48 PM »

Take note of any individual sockets that might be pushed out the back compared to others.

Cleaned both male and female beau plugs as good as i could. Still nothing. It's the step up that makes the top shelf lights light up every time you put up to 5 coins in? Well, i tripped it like i put more then one coin in, pulled the handle and the 3rd coin light stayed lite, it didn't go back to first coin light. From what i can see trying to look in when the top shelf is in, it looks like the plugs are just barely going in. I tried lifting it up and down a little, side to side, and no luck. IO'm gonna look in my book and figure out the wire routing and component locations, and the wire routing and connector plugs and check those.

Don't know what else to do???

Did you ever spray the female cabinet plugs with WD40? That will help them slide together.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #190 on:** October 21, 2018, 02:12:14 PM »

I did all that, I even took the brackets that hold the female plugs on the back of the wall off so i could slide them on the male plugs, and the plugs don't go in very far, but i was able to slide the tray in far enough to put the glass back on.

Go back to post #147 referring to the odds unit reset relay and cleaning the brass contact receiver rivets.
If you can access the reset relay while the unit is in the machine. Press it down with a non conduct rod of sorts. This should reset the odds unit to coin one. This is what happens when the first coin in dropped in. If the rivets and contacts are clean the odds lights should advance.
If the reset coil doesnâ€™t energize, the contacts on the reset coil could be dirty or out of adjustment. Or the coil is bad or a possibility of a broken wire.

So my odds unit reset relay was on top of my slot machine, and you just want me to move the plastic piece so the contacts touch?

Amechanic · « **Reply #193 on:** October 22, 2018, 06:37:00 PM »

No donâ€™t remove those.

DavidLee · « **Reply #194 on:** October 22, 2018, 06:40:06 PM »

Yes, manually activate the relay by pressing down on the white plastic armature.
This should reset the odds unit back to first coin. The lights should also indicate first coin
The coin switch should advance the odds unit at this point, if everything is clean and working properly.

The first two nothing happened when i pushed them in. The second two, both of them made the lockout coil de energize, and then energize.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #196 on:** October 25, 2018, 05:58:49 PM »

Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try, or did everyone give up on it? Just wanted to thank everyone for all their help, I can't make any donations until I get payed again on the 2nd.

DavidLee · « **Reply #197 on:** October 25, 2018, 07:34:35 PM »

Letâ€™s backup a little. Will the machine take a coin naturally?
Have you manually reset the odds unit and tried playing the machine?
Please post a photo of the complete odds unit in the machine.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #198 on:** October 27, 2018, 11:12:41 AM »

Ok, it will not accept nickels, as far as I know I reset the odds unit. The on center line, and 1st coin light are lite on the top shelf, the winner paid, and insert coin lights are lite. The lockout coil is energized, I can tap the coin switch and it will let me pull the handle. Now if the door is closed, sometimes one of the reels wont spin. It has not paid out anything since I got it back. 2 other pictures on reply#195

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #199 on:** October 27, 2018, 11:32:44 AM »

I did this to go from 1st coin up to 5th coin, and then reset them.
