Does anyone have any idea what these little plugs are for and what order they are meant to be in?

Have no idea, but have a few of these machines, but as usual will not be able to check until next time in lock up. Will check next time unless someone else responds.

Anyone have any idea what the purpose of this clock mechanism is for?
Can't work it out it doesn't seem to do anything at all, you turn it and it ticks back down to zero and stops against a peg.

The micro-switch under the metal plate marked B 11 is that effected by it?

It's a strange one bp.
The microswitch has a little push in button on the front which has to be pressed in to put power to the transformer. The black bit at the back of the switch pushes it back out. What the purpose of it is I have no idea? There is nothing to automatically press them either way.

Is it a cut off timer for the hopper to prevent it emptying out?

Not sure, but if it did somehow manage to press the switch to cut the power there is no way of resetting it again without actually pressing it. Seems a strange idea to me.

I had not got a picture yet, but remembered was asked this same question a few years back with another member having issues on a Hoots Mon. See linked below as I compared the picture to mine.

My hoots mon 4 reeler has problems with the payouts. Can't figure out which part tells the machine how many coins to pay out. I'm guessing it's to do with the circuit card that has a row of resistors fixed to it. I checked all the connections from the mech to the plug and mine all perform as they should. From that pug to the top electrics will be my next challenge. Would love to get my machine working properly. One day.......

Here's what I should have been saying on this thread ..........

Searching back through this forum, this has been a known issue since at least Summer 2013 ...... could it be the same machine?

That thought had crossed my mind a few times, however I bring good news that after nearly two weeks of tracing wires and components it is now alive and working. !!YABBADABBA!!

But...
Not 100 percent :(

Cool, sounds like you're getting somewhere.

I know it's not the same one I had a shufty at for one of our members 4 years ago because that one had traunches of electronics completely isolated from others. Also the collection of gubbins in the top box were either loose or missing.
Way to go %|%

Thanks bp,
It's all working except the 30 and 50 payouts. 10, J, Q, K should give 30 coins but it gives 200, and four of a kind should give 50 coins but it pays out the same as three of a kind.
I will get there but running out of things to look at.
