Hey guys, another quick question regarding this machine.. How does the machine know when to payout the jackpot? We have been playing the machine for few months now and the jackpot has still not Come round? Is it a certain amount of spins or just random?

Ahh so it's a case of missing parts? Prob will be a nightmare to try and source them I would thinks as well

Hey guys, well I got a chance to pop round me dad's, we traced the linkage back and we found this loose spring that could be the problem? Any ideas where it goes? We tried to put it on the little tube directly above it but it is slightly too small and doesn't fit

Yes the handle engages regardless of power, and as for the coin acceptor I will remove that to have an in depth look with the manual that slotalot sent over (much appreciated.) at the weekend, I just text my dad last night to try some of his old pennies in it to see if the machine accepted. !!THUMBS...

Badpenny - well we assumed it took new penny's as it says 1np on the front !PUZZLED! Dad has tried a few old penny's as well but they are doing the same thing? Coppinpr - the handle works the reels whether there is a coin inserted or not as it maybe still on freeplay? What we did was trip the wire w...

Hey, Right so I went round to my dad's to try the things on the bally that you said and here is what happened.. We took the magnet out of the coin checker so now the 1p passes through ok, only thing is it goes straight through and out of the payout tray on the front of the machine and not through wh...

Ahh right I see that makes sense now. I will have a play with that then and remove the magnet. In regards to testing the coin wire is it best I purchase the spray switch cleaner and do that stage first before testing the wire?

Also with the 3in1 oil is the spray oil best to use or the squirt one?

Right, I'll be sure to check all that over, can the mechanics be sprayed with a light oil? Like maybe the brand 3in1? What seems to be making the penny stick is a magnet in the gold mechanism, it rolls through to where that small silver square Is in the middle then just magnets to it and won't go an...

OK, I we will try that tomoz and see what happens. My dad did put a coin in it earlier out of curiosity and it went down the top chute and into the gold coin mechanism bit (sorry I don't know the correct terms yet) and it just sat there and wouldn't go any further?

Ok I think I will give the glass a go once she's up and running, on closer inspection I should be able to make it look pretty presentable doing that. Right we have connected a wire up to it and we have power! !THUMBS! I have attached pics of inside of the door and around the mechanism as requested. ...

That's brilliant coppinpr thank you, I am round my dad's this evening so we are going to attempt to wire it up and plug it in, so fingers crossed! I will post in here this evening to let you know how we got on and some photos. In regards to the reel glass, as you can see its pretty faded and tatty, ...

OK, I'll pop 'round me dad's tonight and have a look. I'll try and get all cable sorted, maybe tonight as well, if my dad has some. Shall I take the pictures you mentioned tonight? Or when I connect the power up to it? Don't mean to sound stupid, but if I connect this up and plug it in, is there any...

OK, that's what I'll do then.Thing is, at the mo the cable that comes from the bottom has been tightly cut to the case so it's just inside, giving me no way to crimp some new cable on to it. Is there a way, if I take the mechanism out, that I can pull it up, reattach some new cable, then push it all...

Yeah, I'm interested in doing the work. Not really bothered about the collectible value, just doing it out of interest really, a little project so to speak. Just need a little guidance on what to do, as I don't really have a clue, haha

Hey Ballymad, I meant to write 1p not 2p - my mistake. Ahh really, can replacements still be purchased? Would you say not to bother restoring then? Would it cost me too much money?

Yeah, I know, just no fun when it don't play. I'm hoping it's just a case of re wiring. I mean my thought process was that because it's electric, then the pay out and the pay in mechanisms would be disarmed due to no power, maybe. I haven't a clue to be honest, but I really hope I can get it up and ...

Hey guys me again, Well dad got his fruit machine for his birthday today and he loves it! :D Thanks again for all your help! We also have another fruit machine I need a bit of help with. !PUZZLED! Long story short, a friend of my dad's has this fruit machine (he used to rent out fruit machines for a...

Treefrog, that's the same one I have. Is there anyway of knowing a bit of history about certain models from serial numbers etc? Like the date it was made and that? Update! I took the machine apart and took the tube out. There were no coins lodged sideways, they were all flat, so I put the tube back ...

Ahh thats brilliant, might just try and give this a go tonight then, I'll test the bangs again tonight but I'm 99% sure there was 5 bangs because I remember noticing it. Can I feel this machine up with coins while the mechanism is out or does it all have to cycle through using the coin slot? How do ...
