Hey All,
Picked up a converted Bally 892 (I think) EM slot.
It has a topper (not pictured) and having some issues that maybe someone has encountered.
For starters, the topper Beau Plug from the machine to the topper has the top 4 pins broken, so if anyone has a photo of theirs, that'd be great so I can rebuild it correctly.
The issue. Slot powers on, lights on, coin ramp pulls in fine, coins up and reels spin.
When it hits random combinations, the hopper runs away and bell rings until it times out and kills the machine.
I can turn it back on (hopper and bell running) and coining causes it to stop and I can do it all over again. Sometimes it doesn't pay out, and you can play again.
I've gone through all the contacts and switches, and seems to be clean and proper.
What I do notice is the Payout Stepper (mounted on the hopper) does not index. Problem.
I am wondering if with the topper off and the Coin Multiplier Stepper ( and associated Light Stepper) not connected, would this throw the machine into a tizzy?
Pic of the machine attached and if any more would be helpful, I can shoot and post.
Thanks!
