I managed to jam a pinball post rubber in one side of it and it shut it right up.

Thanks. That looks a good solution. Might be a faff figuring the wires to from? This has 3 tubes. Does that need starters?

OK thanks guys. Will need to find out which one it is and see what I can find to replace it. It’s fairly noisy.

One of the 3 ballasts in my Sega Mad Money is buzzing like mad! Not had this issue before. Guessing it’s vibration rather than a bad ballast?

Thanks Ronnie

Ah! Thank you so much. Now you have explained it makes sense, and the jackpot is working as it should. Everyday is a school day. lol

Thanks again

It’s been a long while since I removed the jackpot to check and clean the slides! I’m not seeing how this jackpot is triggered! I see the red arm is holding the jackpot closed but I have no idea what pushes that red arm out to release the jackpot? Have I lost a part? Thanks for any info, I’m a bit s...

Just need to figure now what triggers the jackpot! I’m sure it was working before I stripped it out, that’s my mission for tomorrow.

All sorted now, bent finger as above

So I managed to bend down that 3rd finger, now I'm getting the oranges win, will keep testing it. So just the one lemon problem remains, to me the finger is not travelling far enough into the disc to kick the bottom finger out, thinking do I file the end of the finger? Or try and bend the bottom of ...

One thing I have just noticed in the case of the oranges is that the vertical finger sticks up much higher than the rest. It looks like it needs bending down, in which case it would go through the 3 discs I think?

Here is a pic of the first 3 fingers pulled back. Finger 3 is the oranges.

The other issue is any combination of win on oranges, the vertical finger seems to snag just at the edge of the 3rd disc! Again the spacing on the discs is not right. Pictures on a 3 oranges win. The bottom slide is not triggered but the 2 above are? All other wins seem OK! These problems seem relat...

Topic merged - Site Admin. Deci King on shilling. I'm missing the 2 coin win on a single lemon (it's on the award glass). Now to me the veritical finger is not travelling far enough into the disc to kick the horizontal finger out! Now at that particular win the discs are very close together! The pi...

That's the one. Mine are slightly different, as in they have a screw through the middle, which looks like the plate will just come off when undone. This machine has at least 3 of them as it's partly electro for credits.

Thanks. Was looking for something to use in my head. My first thought was bike brake blocks lol but tire sounds good.

That's sorted it! Just need to hope my rivets hold out. It's still slightly gripping a 2 coin drop. A little tap and they drop. I can live with that. Does anyone know what to use in place of those rubber bump stops on the arm mech? It's a square of rubber that dampens the end travel of the arm. Mine...

Ah thanks. I had no idea that’s what it did! OK, looks on mine someone has wedged a bit of rubber under it! Will have a look. I probably moved it about when I was messing about!

Yeah, this cheat slide is a pain! I can't see an easy way to secure it. Removing it alters the payouts. I can't understand why it gets in the way. It's not sticking or anything?

I managed to re use 2 old rivets. Not the best, but I ran some solder over the ends and flattened it in the vice. Not sure it will last, but seems secure for now. So I rebuilt it all and it's working as it should, but the daft cheat slide is still blocking the drop! So I undid its spring and that se...

Thanks treefrog. I see the bar on yours is much longer. I guess I will just need to give it a try! Yeah, pop rivets no use here, will need to try and get some of the right type Those fingers with the broken clips I guess I could try and salvage some of those rivets.

So I cut a piece of stainless steel tight fit in the slot. My fear is the spring will be close to or touching the vertical fingers!
