Ha ha yeah funny about that.
What helped me were things that happened by accident but I took notice. Just needed the right clues and they jumped out in front of me. Pretty lucky this time.

Re: Help with Aristocrat Mayfair

The machine is working now. It had several levers jammed by old hard grease, a broken mains input socket and a broken fluro tombstone. Also many adjustments were needed. The green button (so I discovered) is for: During a payout, if the hopper becomes empty before completion of a pay, the hopper wil...

Re: Help with Aristocrat Mayfair

After removing the resistor I took it out in the sun with my loupe and I could see the first band is green so 56ohm will be the replacement. Would like to know what the circuit with that resistor in it actually does? Another question: What's the green button for? When the door is open, there's a mom...

Re: Help with Aristocrat Mayfair

Even though it is burnt the resistor still measures 56ohms, maybe that's the right replacement.

Re: Help with Aristocrat Mayfair

Thanks for the reply.
It's a 3 reel machine.
You can see the hopper type in one photo.
Click on the circuit board and you will see the fried resistor.

Help with Aristocrat Mayfair

Hi all, I'm trying to repair an Inca Gold electronic machine. It had several levers that were bound up with old hard grease that I managed to free up and get the mechanics working. Now there are electrical issues. The only thing working is the top light, I should be able to get the door lights worki...

Re: Help needed desperately with Aristocrat Bobby Dazzler

I tend to have a photographic memory and while I was looking at it I suddenly had a flash back of the bush being level with the hub and not recessed at all. Well the powder coater reheated the part and pressed the bush through but short by 1.5mm. He couldn't get it to go any further. I managed to fi...

Re: Help needed desperately with Aristocrat

The old cabinet was severely water damaged. The previous owner had it under a car port and I'd say it copped a bit of rain hence the rusty chrome. The cabinet was carefully measured and copied in exact detail including the way the handle goes through the timber. All I have to do is get this handle f...

Aristocrat Bobby Dazzler desperately needs help

I was almost finished assembling my machine after having built a new cabinet and getting all of the chrome parts powder coated when I struck a problem. I couldn't get the handle to go together. I spent ages trying to figure out why the tube that goes through the bush from the handle to the inside of...

Re: Aristocrat coin tubes

I've got some new timber panels for the new cabinet from a local commercial shop fitter. Pick them up early next week. All the chrome parts, front door, top surround, handle, handle pivot and bezel etc are going to the powder coaters tomorrow. Still trying to decide on the colour. I was going to go ...

OK thanks, that's what I thought.

What's this bracket for?

Re: Aristocrat coin tubes

Thanks. That's great information. I have had the handle out and fixed the pump as well. What I also need to do is remove this handle pivot and bezel from the case because they're going to be powder coated. So, how do I get that out? I can see three bolt heads behind the handle mechanism that probabl...

Re: Aristocrat coin tubes

I found that the double ball ended rod behind the coin mech was bent, so I straightened that out then adjusted it a bit longer so that the coin drops on to the lever I mentioned earlier requiring a spring.
So, that's fixed now. No handle jam.

Re: Aristocrat coin tubes

I put a light spring on there but it still jams. Must be something else cos when I push the handle back the coin will then drop into the carousel on the next pull.

Re: Aristocrat coin tubes

I found 3 blanks and needed to remove 2 of them. That part of the payouts works well now.

Next : Sometimes the handle will jam because the coin will slip up and to the left when the handle is pulled instead of dropping straight through into the carousel. Jiggling the handle will allow it to drop.

Re: Aristocrat coin tubes

Ah so that's what they did. Cheatin' bastards.
Yeah no worries I was going to check all the symbols out tomorrow. I notice there is more than one blank in there.

Re: Aristocrat coin tubes

I had another look before reading your reply .
The queen finger drops into the first reel disc only, then I checked the second reel. It has 2 queens and one has a blank insert. Why would that be there ?

Re: Aristocrat coin tubes

Correction...It won't pay 4 queens either. Think I'm starting to get how it all works now. So am I right that these fingers represent each symbol ? Are these fingers in order like "9" starting at the back, then "10", "7" , "8" , "jack", "queen&q...
