Try swapping starters
Is the 6v fuse ok
Lets cure the lights before we get to the hopper
You might need a muti meter from here on in

Yes attach your live to the fuse
You might want to start with a 3 or 5amp fuse

connect your neutral to the red primary side of the transformer you should have a red,a white and a black wire the black does your door lighting and should be 120v the red is neutral and goes straight to the transformer the white is from memory 240v and also goes to the transformer and to the timer ...

be careful with ballys as I have had some with a fused neutral. where do you think the earth goes because the earth is normally grounded under the screw which holds down the hopper beau plug housing I cant tell weather you have a time out switch or not (for the hopper payout) that leaves the red wir...

first does it take coins? does pushing the little lever down on the back of door on the coin chute do anything? if nothing then first try right hand side mid level the piston, at the back of that there should be a set of contacts make sure they are closed sometimes pulling back on the plunger can ma...

A quick look - decals say 1p. Why do you think it's 2p?
You have two solenoids (payout ) tubes missing; one for the coins in and one for the token pay.
Is it worth restoring? I don't know, but I don't think I would bother.

I don't think they're vinyl stickers for mirrors. As I say, they make stickers (normally football badges) to stick inside car rear windows.
Etching and lasering is fine on high end machines but is it an economical solution for a run of the mill low value machine that requires new artwork?

I'm on my phone so can't post much. I managed to find they're based in Leicester. I couldn't see a website for them but Stuart Dale likes them. I will message the guy to see if they have a web page but I do have an email address. Also, for the younger members, you can find them on Facebook under &qu...

Hi, Don't know if anyone else has seen or knows of this company, they appeared on my facebook the other day, called Wall Art Shop . I did message him about making transfers for machine glass as they do mirror transfers. The guy has asked for an image and size but I have nothing ready to do yet. I wo...

Is it all working now? Payout fine? 5 goes for 10p working? You can't beat a Bally bandit - much more interesting than all the others. If you feel like it, get yourself over to newlifegames - look for the electromechanical forum. You can join the new site or look at the old one. You'll find answers ...

If I read this right, the machine is tripping the RCD in the house before blowing the fuse.
If it is, you have probably got a neutral to earth fault occurring.
An overcurrent fault should take either the trip or the plug fuse out.

Not sure if anyone's posted it yet but British Pathe is now on youtube with 80,000+ clips. Only found two so far for amusement arcades.

Timmo, How much of a project are you looking for? I have a couple of Ballys that I might be willing to part with. Two are almost finished projects and one is a complete start and I can't recall what the last one is. !PUZZLED! I am just outside Portsmouth. I would be willing to part with one to the r...

I was reading yesterday how scientists are now able to 3d print with metals. How long before we can all have access to this technology? It was not long ago 3d plastic was new technology, now look how far it's come. Just think, the ability to print out new parts for your beloved relics.

COULD DO WITH IT FOR SPARES
Whereabouts are you?

Just wondering if any members knew of the cheapest way to have something shipped from Dublin. Said item is £250, the weight is, say, about 85kg. Looked at collecting myself, but the ferry was £295 return, so wondering if anyone knew of a regular traveller who might bring said item over. I could coll...

Urban, how far have you got?
Have you cleaned it down, oiled, greased it?

Still think you ought to be stripping down and cleaning.

the bar hole positions are ok but everything should move freely those arms the bars are attached to should be pulled forward by the springs if they arent then they want cleaning and the latch pawls the other end of those bars should move freely that old grease can set solid they really want cleaning...

I'm just off to work, doing a late shift tonight, but, without getting my book out, they determine the length and order of stopping. If you move each bar 1 hole forward, you will see. You can always move them back. Is there a definite touching to the bottom plate? The springs should pull those lever...
