Bally 809-N

[caneer]

Hello! I recently acquired this slot and I am looking to find out more about it, model/year/value? If there is anything you can tell me that would be great.
I wanted to find a user manual, there are a few functions that are not working correctly that I wanted to try and get fixed. Thank you for your time.

809-N is a lightning model made for Kelly's Nugget casino.

the paperwork for it is on https://bingo.cdyn.com/slots/809-N/

generic manuals - which are mostly exploded parts diagrams - https://bingo.cdyn.com/slots/bally_manuals/

there's other stuff if you poke around in https://bingo.cdyn.com/slots/

while the bally 400 manual covers the 809's, the 2400 and 2600 manuals have updated information - especially if you have the newer parts on the right side of the reel mech.

yell if you want info on any specific issues.

btw, if you are in deep enough to access the flourescent tubes, please provide info on what generic part numbers they are (FxTy or whatever it says on the things).

Along with what wolftalk just wrote to you, there is a LOT of information on the Bally on this board. Simply scroll up slightly, add "809" in the search box and change the search area to "this board."

You didn't state the problems the machine is having.  Because these are full of moving mechanical and electrical parts, these can suffer from sticky / dried out oil or grease.  Parts need to be able to move freely, in order for things to work.   These machines are a marriage of electrical and mechanical parts.  Relay contacts need to be clean and correctly adjusted with adequate clearance, contact pressure and  and over-travel.  Buy a GC electronics "contact burnishing blade for cleaning up oxidized / fouled contacts.  Never use any form of sand paper on delicate electrical contacts.  The hopper also contains moving mechanical electrical components that are prone to becoming gummed up.   Check inside the top box, as there may be steppers in there - and those require service as well.  The "Jones " plugs on the mechanism, hopper, stepper must be clean and carefully aligned.  If not making good contact on all of the pins - some or all features of a game won't work.  I use 100% synthetic electric motor oil on these.  No detergents in the oil.  You can use sewing machine oil, or 3 in 1 electric motor oil in the blue bottle.  Do not use 3 In 1 in the red and black bottle, as it contains waxes that will gum up.

The winner paid light stopped working I am thinking it’s a loose wire. The service button doesn’t work, not sure if it’s the switch or the wiring. The bell makes a buzz if I pull the handle too soon. I am not sure if it’s supposed to ring when ring when I hit any payout or just the jackpot. I hit a jackpot and there was no ringing.

[Bruce G]

The bell is supposed to only ring on jackpots

Are you certain the buzz you are hearing is coming from the bell?  The handle is locked by a solenoid, and it may be that - which you are actually hearing

[caneer]

Yes it is the solenoid.  Do you know when the bell is suppose to sound? on all pays or just jackpot?
