Thanks Admin for merging the threads. The pictures already posted are probably good enough. 662px-ConsoleSega_SlotMachine_Front.jpg IMG_20190419_081338364a.jpg The lower cabinet with most of the electro-mechanical parts. There are more detailed pics earlier in this thread. IMG_20190419_081059453a.jp...

Post merged - Site Admin. I'm currently working on a Sega Console machine that has quite a few electro-mechanical features. Knowing the basic mechanism is a clone of the Mills, I was thinking of getting the book on Mills machines as a reference. Is there any other option that would cover some of th...

Fantastic! If there's an easy fix I should be able to find it there.

Amazingly the markings on the solenoid coils are still ledgible and helpful. Multi Unit reset:. 202C-15, 0.30 wire, 1080 turns Multi Unit advance:. 201C-8,. O.45 wire, 1040 turns Counting Unit reset:. B-28 1450, 28 Ga, 1450 turns Counting Unit advance:. 201C-8, 0.45 wire, 1040 turns Time to search f...

Thanks for the tips. I was hoping there would be just a few common Sega coils that they used everywhere, that would make for convenient replacements. Nothing's ever as simple as I hope for. Never wound a coil before, but it doesn't look too challenging. Wait... I see livinginthepast's post popped up...

That I can understand. Should I expect these to be DC or AC?

I should add that I'm in the US, and running on 110V. The machine takes US nickles. Don't know if it was converted from 220V or if it came from the factory that way. Since most of the solenoids are working OK I figure it's not a problem.

Guess I'm a little slow to catch on... How does this help with winding the new coil? Would have expected to count turns and measure the wire gauge on the old coil. Wouldn't the voltage just determine the insulation required?

This is the "Multi Unit" that seems to be malfunctioning. As multiple coins are played it seems to c correctly advance from 1 to 2 to 3 players and the payouts are correctly multiplied according to the payout table. Doesn't reset to zero like I would expect though. If I keep inserting coin...

Appreciate that advice radiochrissie. Will clean up the relays before getting in too deep on this. Thanks treefrog for the diagrams. I'm not sure if this matches my machine. Could be the "Counting Unit". Since things are working at the moment I'll be going through and take some notes on wh...

Set it to single player and no change, but then manually activated the Hold relay and it accepted coins and allowed a complete cycle. Now it seems to be accepting coins. Not sure if the single player is the difference, or if the Hold relay just needed a nudge. Maybe a shorted coil that is weak but n...

Most of the more complex assemblies are labelled. In addition to the bank of relays there is: Multi Unit Counter Unit Cam Unit The OPs pictures are identical to my machine. His first pic shows a good "floor plan" of the electro-mechanical systems. Clockwise from the back: 10-11 o'clock Mul...

Reviving an old thread but this is exactly the machine I'm struggling with. I bought a Sega Console. Condition was non-working working and locked with no keys. Was able to get the upper cabinet open, clear out some scattered coins and get it working for basic functions at least. After forcing some w...
