Hiya!!!
Happy to join this community. I've fixed and troubleshooted a few slots over the years, most recently a Mills EM from 1972 and a Summit bench test machine... Long story there. I've had my hand in a lot of Ballys and couple of IGTs, mostly successful results, but it's been spread out over the years. You can read this as 'Im a tinkerer'... Heh. Now I'm finally here and signed up on NLG.
Anyways, these were all for friends and family. Recently tho I aquired my first slot of my own. Hopefully I didn't bite off more than I can chew here... It's an Aristocrat IGT 1982 machine. 5 reels.
Can anyone here suggest where to start with this machine?
When I bought it a few days ago, ataold owners it powered up and played, but had issues (I think the reel solenoids were not engaging, so the reels kept spinning, and then machine would hang). Got sound effects and LED credit display.
Now upon bringing it home, I only get lights and fan. What can I do from here? Any guidance appreciated!
