Bally 1071-3 Troubleshooting

[nauseous]

Hey All,

So I have everything working apart from the 50 payout now. The hopper payout board has a 50 terminal and a 50 CO terminal. Currently it's paying out 200 coins for whatever reason when you hit single symbols on the bars match (should be 50). I read Old Reno's post about this 50CO being for getting a better count on 50 coin payout but not sure on wiring just yet. It will become evident soon.

Bell not working was a dirty contact on the payout relay and a wiring miss-configuration.

The bell runs for the duration of the jackpot payout which is a bit much for my liking. I can build in a timer circuit to shut it down after 5 seconds - jon made the suggestion to silence the bell via a plastic cap on the ringing mechanism; which i did, but still it's a bit more than I personally like. 200 coin payout takes a decent amount of time, the bell ringing for the entire is rather annoying.

Is there an alternative wiring I can use on the bell without adapting in timer units ?

Try using an insulator between the the 200 payout board contact and the copper fingers on the payout step up unit. Same with the 50 payout as a way to narrow down the problem. As for the 6 volt bell, they can be annoying, specially with the door open. I haven't tried this yet, but was thinking of making a metal box to cover the front and two sides of the bell and attaching it with some wood screws. Or squeezing some foam rubber behind the bell.
By the way you've done a great job bringing this machine back to life!

How is your machine doing?

Long time between replies.
Machine has had a complete tear-down and restore... All the chrome parts on front door are too far gone and need to be replaced, I always knew this was going to be an issue but went ahead regardless.
So question is, where can I get good condition chrome replacement parts for this machine; years ago you used to see the occasional item pop up on eBay - but not so much lately.
Can anyone help me out? I am happy to trade parts from this machine (+ cash) to anyone who maybe able to help me out.

Thanks

Got this piece, it might clean up okay.
It’s 21 inches across.
