742-a Money Honey

[farthingbowl]

My 742A money honey works perfect but... there's always a but... on the 3rd reel the top position of the "Honey" is not working, all other combinations payout, except when the last is in top position, atteched is a picture of the 3rd reel wiring, can anybody compare, or send a similar picture of a correct working one ?
Many thanks

ok what is the top pay out on that 742 a and give me a better definition of it not paying on the top pay out I have four of them here I can take pictures of all of my readers but give me a little better definition a picture of the payout display on the door and Marky and we'll see which ones closest to yours

See the picture, the top/high position of the last reel seems not to work, so no payout while it should, all other "money honey"combinations work.

I believe the Bally Money Honey came out in 1964.
It was considered one of the First electronic Slot Machines.
I played many of those in Reno & Lake Tahoe & Vegas.
When I was much younger. They are Great Machines.

I think you're right around 1964 is when they came up with the first Bally EM machine they are beautiful one day I hoped to hav a big enough building to make a museum and put all of my pre-1980 machines in I think I have 4 742a is running and 6 more to build plus all of my other Bally machines

The EM machines are really nice, I think I was about 10 years old when I won 100 guilders on a local carnival, had no idea what the machine was supposed to do but the fruit simbols looked so tempting.. so grabbed a guilder I got from grandma and.. bang... hit the jackpot.. you will understand my love for these machines was born right on that moment.  It still took another 27 years before I bought my first one..
Do you by any change have a 785-J progressive, as thats going to be my next little problem, when the jackpot hits the top (progressive) part is not counting down, but I shall start a new topic for that.
