A friend of mine picked up a couple of slot machines and figured because I'm fairly mechanically inclined that I could somehow get them working for him (wishful thinking on his part I think).
I'm just dealing with the first one, it's a Bally 25 cent slot machine.
I plug it in and it turns on.
I hit the little coin censor lever to simulate a coin going in.
I hold down the "tilt reset?" button and I can pull then lever but then it gets stuck.
If I push hard on the bar that goes into that vacuum plunger thing it will trip something and the wheels will turn and "act like" a slot machine should.
I was able to remove the wheel assembly and fiddle with the little spring adjuster thinking that was what needed to be adjusted but that didn't really help.
I'm not sure if it's all works mechanically or if there are some other electronics involved in making it all work.
Any help, thoughts, advice or direction is greatly appreciated.
