Bally EM 922 No Pays

Was paying fine then stopped.Everything else works fine.If I put something to hold the payout relay down the hopper runs and spits out coins.
Thanks in advance.

Does the payout relay coil look ok, not burned? If you have a meter you can check the coil's winding for continuity, should have a small resistance reading between the coil terminals. Do this with the machine unplugged, or at least turned OFF.

Or you can use a meter to see if the coil is getting power when it is supposed to be activated. For this you can attach the meter leads to the coil's terminals and see if voltage is there when a payout is supposed to happen. For your machine I don't know if this is AC or DC voltage, probably AC. If the voltage is present but the coil does not work then it's bad. If the voltage does not get to the coil then check whatever sends the voltage to the coil.

On EM machines a lot of times the problem is related to switch contacts, so a good cleaning to all of them might get it running again.

I have had problems with no pays and it turns out to be one of the switches on the coin relay or possibly the handle release switches. 

Try the switch with the brown wire on one side and brown with a yellow tracer on the other on the coin relay switch bank. Make sure it has good contact.

Thanks so much!!It was the switch on the coin bank relay.Wasnt making a strong enough contact.

The handle release switches are right below the bell on the right side of the cabinet.  The coin switch is located on the left side of the reel mechanism towards the back. There are a bank of switches and an associated coil.
