Bally/IGT 1130-5 Need Help

[Osso12]

Ok, all my previous bugs i had with this machine worked themselves out on theyre own after months of playing the machine... it now accepts all three coins as it should.
Now my two yr old daughter made a jackpot (all three bars) and it should have paid out 100 qtrs but only paid out 16 quarters as thats all the hopper had in it... machine spits out 16 quarters then powers off as it should... the problem? The machine wont turn on/power up now. I used to simply plug this machine into the wall for past 30 yrs and that was all that was required to turn it on. Theres no power switch outside or inside the machine that i am aware of. My 2 yr old daughter wants to play... how can we get her machine to come on?

It sounds like the safety timer has tripped. This happens when the hopper does not have enough coins to pay off a jackpot. The safety timer is located behind the hopper in the left lower rear of the cabinet. Your machine should have a flat bar that runs under the hopper to the safety. It should just stick out from under your coin hopper. Push that bar back towards the rear of the machine. That should reset the safety time. You will need to put the coins back into the hopper so it can continue to payoff the 100 coins. If your machine does not have the flat reset bar, then pull out the hopper and push the white button switch. That should start your machine. You might see a red light on next to the push switch, that's normal and will go out once you restore the power by resetting the timer.
