Bingolette ... Part missing!

[daveslot]

Just dug out a Bingolette from storage, cleaned up very well but didn't pay out. Noticed a gap on the mechanism, presume it's a solenoid unit missing. Would this be the culprit? Anybody got any breakers around for a spare or is there a work-around?

There should be a group of 3 relay units...
-Payout
-Reset
-Anti cheat

One is missing

It's the payout relay.

If the 'anti-cheat' relay has the same number of contacts, you may be able to press it into service as the missing 'payout' one.

i suspected it was the payout soleniod as it was not payout out! typically i had got rid of a few others because they had poor cases
the anti cheat does look similar to the payout, how does the anti cheat work, what sets it off
