Bally 1114 full restoration

[wolftalk]

they plugged one of the depth 5 slots (BAR) and the depth 6 slot (7) on reel 1.  Ya'd think people would notice reel 1 never stopped on a 7 :-)

don't worry about the discs saying they went with 25c machines.  The entry in the paperwork is the first use of the disc/tape.  The same ones were used on other games with different denominations ... and different model machines also.

for example, the p-684-320 index disc was used on the 1114-1 machine, which was a dollar game.

my master list is incomplete.  Bally made more machines after the copy I have was obtained from bally by phil anderson in nevada, so a 1114 entry showing the discs/tapes you have could have been added later - or your serial plate is swapped on or the game is a mashup of parts.  Doesn't really matter as long as the game pays the number of coins the glass says you should get.

while I have the definition for a p-684-435, my master list doesn't have an entry for a machine using it.  However, another doc I have shows it used on the 1114-18 using the code in the definition sheet, so the first time it was used was for "caesar's world quarter 3 coin multiplier".   That game used 320, 435 and 322 like you have.

With all of the issues with the reels, I have overcome all of them. The meters are a mess, and they are the box type. I need to delve into this issue, I have one Bally for the cash box, the reels are another adventure. I have one part left over, it is a small bracket I need to find out where it belongs.

I don't think it's a Frankenstein monster, everything else is checking out to be the $1.00 machine, no wires are butchered, so I am going forward with the $1.00 machine idea. The reel mechanism was really jacked up, I still have some more work to be done. Right now everything is cleaned, the wiring is perfect, the switches are clean. I still need the meters, and a couple of missing parts.

I've moved on to the door. After disassembled I should have a  . It's really not great, seems that I have been hitting a bunch of roadblocks on this machine. It's going to take a lot to get it back to factory.

what's wrong with it?  Nice pic of the scavenger coil system.

Wiring, reel glass, bulbs, broken parts,  etc. I need to check out the micro switches, they are probably stuck from the hardened grease.

I've got most of the reel assembly straightened out. The actual reels are incorrect and I am trying desperately to locate the correct ones.
 UPDATE After communicating with Wolftalk, I am going to wait until I can diagnose the reels payout system.

Just a heads up, if you really want to do a good restoration, remove all of the black tape from all of the wires, you might be surprised to see some butchered wires. I remove the black tape from these projects and find cut wires that I have to replace. Less black tape is the goal here.

The reels had black tape that hid a splice, I replaced the spliced wiring, removed all of the black tape from the rest of the wiring, then after checking the wiring I used a minimum of black tape.

Working on the door wiring and things are looking good. Some issues are easy peasy, and then I have this meter to figure out if it is functional.

I've been dismantling the door and found a token stuck in a place that wasn't accessible unless you took the door completely apart. I doubt that this was ever used as a quarter slot. The other sign is the old coin switch is set up for the dollar coin and not a quarter.

Seems like I am jumping around on different projects on this slot machine.

The cabinet was a disaster, before anyone  me, Alaska has very little supply of Bally EM slot machines. I am working on a cabinet that was in 5 pieces, a real POS. 

These people here in Alaska have plenty of junk slot machines from China and they think they are valuable.

Ok, were getting the cabinet completed. It's really important to get the major parts back in, plus the door, then I can clean up the shop.

More work on the machine.

The really awesome feature is the machine has plugs throughout the inside, this makes the restoration easier. I still have so much more work to perform on restoring the machine.
BTW: KLAR box arrived and honestly I am to tired to open it.

More work, trudging along. Thankfully no  worked on this before. The only issues with this old slot machine, is some of the switches are bent, so I have to examine, clean and repair all of them.
