Good evening!

My first slot machine.  A fortune 1 video reel.  I know next to nothing about these things.  Is this a model from 1975?

Monitor powers on, but the coin slot does not work.  Is there a way to bypass this for the machine to spin?  No buttons, just an arm.  Also, the hopper is not running.  Is there a way to test this out?

You are fortunate that the graphics and computer appear to be working. Unfortunately the expert on these machines passed away several years ago. Your machine should have a simple coin mechanism with a micro switch that you can flick with your finger to simulate a coin dropping.
These did not have a lock on the lever so you can usually pull the handle regardless of whether you have credits or not. That isn’t a problem.
Post a picture of the inside of the machine and one of the inside of the door. Let’s first verify that there is a coin mechanism in there at all.
The hopper will not run if you cannot get credits to play a spin…and win something.
Member Badbaud might have a few pointers based on your pics.
There is little or no technical information on these.

Thanks for the reply!  Attached are some pictures.  When I flick the micro switch, it shows "4th coin accepted" on the monitor, but it goes away when I release it.  The coin does fall into the hopper, though.

Chris-socal:
What happens when you pull the lever?
Can you bypass the switch and simulate the lever being pulled? Just want to make sure it’s not something as simple as a faulty switch.
I have one of these and I can’t get it to play either but my game graphics don’t work either.

Nothing happens when I crank the arm.
