WELL, I did some cleaning, fixed 2 wires hanging on by one strand and the zero switch lever was sticking, sprayed with contact cleaner.
Okay fixed all that. Great machine should run great. In the process the hopper continues to run until the time delay kicks in or the coin trip switch is activated.
If I set the reels to pay off the hopper keeps running and noticed the counter is not being activated the solenoid doesn't move.
Photos of missing spring has been replaced, but not with the original type just a makeshift spring to get it running which it did the day before.
Need to find out where I can purchase one or two stock springs.
So need some direction on where to start. I think its something minor as the machine did function properly a few times.
Will replace spring first and go from there.
Thanks for any help in this matter.
Problem solved for now, as I did two things and it works fine, but not sure which of the two did the trick.
First I backed off the the screw on the end of the coin counter pivot arm. Second I pushed the wire loom inward toward the
solder joints on the contacts just to see if a wire had come loose or broken. I know one adjustment at a time.
Reinstalled the hopper and its now sending the signal to the coin counter step-up.
