Hi, I just acquired my first Bally EM slot (yay!) and have a few questions about it. I have the Mead pictorial owner's guide but I don't want to tear into this machine if I don't absolutely have to (I did figure out how to remove the hopper and reel mechs, tho). BTW, the machine is a Bally 1091-44 dollar slot. Here goes:
If I play three dollars, it will often pay out at least one coin at the end of every play, even if there is not a winning combination. Note that if there *is* a winning combination, it usually pays the correct amount (no extra).
The machine will accept more than three coins, even though after the third coin all of the top lights are lit, all three payout lines are lit, and the 'Deposit Coin' light goes out.
The first two reels stop pretty quickly, but the third reel sometimes runs a bit longer. Sometimes (rarely), the machine will even start to pay on a winning combination before the third reel comes to a complete stop.
There is a coil inside the door just above the lock, near the edge of the door. It appears to have something to do with redirecting coins, but I have never seen it engaged. What does it do?
Where on the hopper does it tell the coin mech to start redirecting money to the cash box?
The Mead Owners Guide shows some sort of a tool that will engage the reel mechanism when it is out of the machine. It looks like a modified screwdriver. How can I make one, or can I buy one?
Thanks!

You have several problems - the reels not stopping properly is the most important - which may be the reason for the constant 1 coin payout. You will need to lubricate the mechanism - especially the 3rd reel shafts and linkages. You do not need a device to spin the reels - just push the U shaped arm on the right side of the mech. (hold onto the front of the mech when you do so). Check the reel wipers - make sure that they are lining up on a row and not straddling 2 rows (this you will have to checkout in the manual as I cannot describe this in the confines of this forum). Lastly, accepting more than 3 coins is the scavenger coil system - you either have a bad coil or contacts in the feature unit that regulate the coil

Author: jimmcc [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted:19:29:52 04/15/06 Sat OK, thanks for the feedback. The reel and payout problems seem to be intermittent. Last night I played it some and didn't have either problem. But I will look into lubricating the third reel. Thanks! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Repair Tips for Reel Readers

How to test and what to look for when doing your own repairs

When one of these goes bad you may see an error that would be 4x or 7x where x indicates thereel position, i.e. a 43 error code would indicate the reel reader on the third reel.

What is described below is for testing the reel reader card using this home built tester. The tester provides both a 50 volt source or a 5 volt source (switch selectable).

After describing this procedure I will tell you how to test the cards with out having to have a 50 volt source.

I designed and built a tester to make troubleshooting easier. I test the card and all of the photo-transistors
first, then I split the two halves of the card, one for cleaning but also so that I can use a dental tool, poking
it into the tiny opening to push the photo-transistor or IR Emitter back up and out of the small square opening. The photo-transistor/Emitter should be at something close to a 45 degree angle.

Once the bad components are pushed out of the way, I use my soldering iron to melt the solder on both leads at the same time while grasping the upper portion of the optic. It comes off very easily. Once removed use solder wick to remove the excess solder. You want to do this so that when you put in the new device the leads will be nearly flat on the PC board.

Replace the defective components and quickly tack one side, allow the solder to cool and then solder the other side. Once the other side has cooled you can go back and firmly solder the lead that was previously tacked. Reassemble and then retest to make sure that the optics are working properly. Tapping the top of the card lightly with the handle of a screw driver will show
