1091-44 with payout problems

[Amechanic]

My next step would be to check the diodes on the reel 2 and 3 boards. The payouts for line 1 should also run thru them.

Checked reel 2 and 3 boards.  All checked good.

Ok. If your problem is with line 3 only and with payout using reel 1 payout combinations, then your problem has to be with reel 1 in my option. You either have a dirty wiper arm or button on the payout board. You could have a problem with a solder connection on the back side of the wiper board. Last the alinement of the wiper arm to the wiper board. Did you clean the wiper boards with a scotch bright pad? Then apply a very light file of oil to them. You should never oil the hoppers payout board.. Every manual tells you that. If you have a problem with the 100 tooth gear not returning back to zero, then it needs to be removed and the shaft cleaned. Then apply a little oil to the shaft and reassemble. Did you clean the edge connections on those diode boards?

I've tried cleaning all the contacts and still doesn't pay any combination on the 3rd line that includes reel 1. 
thanks for all the help and suggestions

Bob,  I tried looking for a schematic for that machine, I have one for the 1081 machine that shows all the diode boards etc., some guy is sitting in a padded room "saying I did it" .  I think you problem has to be in the feature units, one of the two that you pictured, if everything is working on 1 coin, then the only thing that makes sense is the additional coins inserted, that is usually a function of the feature units to activate all the additional lines.

The way I understand his problem is that it’s paying on lines 2 & 3 pay ok, but line 1 only pays on payouts from right to left like 1 cherry 2 cherries. When it has a 3 reel payout like 3 cherries or onanges on line 1 it doesn’t pay... So no pay outs left to right on line 1 at all. Is this correct??

[rjpohl]

Everything pays correctly for coin 1 (payline 1, middle line)
Everything pays corerctly for coin 2 (payline 2, top line)


For coin 3 (payline 2, bottom line:
any combination of pays on reel 2 and 3 pay out
combinations that use reel 1 do not pay


thanks

Are the diode boards all different? I’m thinking if the diode board on reels 1 & 3 are the same that you could try swapping them to see if the problem moves to the other end of line 3...

So many combinations on the machine, 3 lines left and right. From what I’ve gathered.
Line 3 doesn’t payout? Or one of the lines doesn’t pay.
Looking at the photo of the wiper board and position of the wiper arm contacts.
One or all of them might need a slight adjustment.
Try setting up the machine for a payout on the suspected line. Try using the cherry combinations,
but before the machine finishes it cycle, as just when the third reel stops.
Try tugging the reels 1 and 2 up and down just a bit as to realign the wiper arms on the contact rivets.
This may reveal a miss alignment.
