Bally Electromechanical / Re: Bally Slot Machine« Last post by Badbaud on Yesterday at 06:23:41 PM »That coin chute is the overflow. When the hopper gets to a certain weight (you can set it) it "leans" on a switch that activates a diverter, directing the money down to a bucket below in the (locked) stand. If you look at where the coins drop in, inside the door, you should see the diverter coil. There's also a lockout behind the coin mechanism. That engages when the highest amount of coins are inserted, usually 1 - 5 depending on the machine. I can't quite see yours... the photo is too small - 3 maybe? When the lockout engages, any additional coins inserted will simply fall in the tray.In the casino the "drop money" that is diverted into the bottom drop hole is collected late at night in a ritual called "the drop" and is operated by the "drop team" who are escorted by a team of security guards. The drop money is counted and that is the profit for the casino. Those coins are rolled up to produce rolls of quarters and nickles which are taken to the change booth and sold to the casino customer to play in the games. The money that is vended and falls into the hopper is kept there and is not considered casino profit, it is called the "players money". If the hopper is too full the weight of the excess coins tilts a "weight switch" on the hopper and opens the diverter flap to allow the coins to fall into the drop. 14

The pin has been pulled, I have put power to it, the crank turns.... Nothing is bound up.. I just can not get the counter mechanism out to work on and clean up... When I attempt to pull it out, it moves about 1/4 inch and stops...

Bally Alpha Reel Games / Re: S9000 Alpha Stars & Bars QH - NVRAM Clear Failed - now machine boot failure« Last post by stlscott on Yesterday at 06:09:33 PM »Remove the 2. batteries and try a clear without the batteries to see if the error goes away. If it does, after the clear put the batteries back and do the clear again before you try to boot with os and game. Unfortunately, running the clear on the MPU with both batteries removed gave me the same results. I'm assuming when you said both batteries you meant both on the MPU. 16

But isn't there a long cross pin that goes thru the count mechanism drawer from one side to the other. That would need to be removed. Then there is a metal plate that cover the side crank handle with a long screw in it. Once that cover plate and screw are removed the count mechanism should slide out.

Other Hobbies and Interests / Re: Help with Johnson Fare Box« Last post by KAHUNA21 on Yesterday at 05:23:41 PM »The only part of the top is where the two flaps open to drop the coins into the counter. The base case is made of about 3/8 inch steel, this was made in the early 20's, they were made with steel back then. Not with recycled beer cans like today... lol The bottom case alone weighs about 45 pounds... I also hope that someone out there knows about these and can help. I have restored the glass top half, but need to get the lower drawer out to finish the redo...

Bally Electromechanical / Re: Bally Slot Machine« Last post by wolftalk on Yesterday at 05:13:35 PM »the hopper has the payout counter stepper unit on it (like bally EM pinballs). The disc on the hopper just needs to support the payouts listed on your glass.
the model number is supposed to be on a plate on the outside of the cabinet below the handle, but it's not unusual to be missing or the wrong one. is there anything written in black sharpie on the reel mechanism or the contact plates the reel wiper arms are swiping across? if that's no good, there should be codes stamped into the slotted metal index discs next to each reel ... what are they? "yankee doodle dandy" could be model 1072, which I don't have much info on. 20

I'm curious myself now. Is there any way to get at it from the inside? I've had numerous antique three slot pay phones and have (carefully) drilled out the screws at the back in order to access the coin box and then upwards to the top. |
