Hi Okay; thanks for the clarification, Andrew. I'll add that resistor then, which will give me 25 ohms. That will be closer to 30 ohms. Or I'll look into a 16-ohm resistor or two 8-ohm resistors. Even if it's not the ideal setup. It'll do in a pinch. Thanks

hi, you say...the resistor .. 'it didn't make much difference', but what about the T11 transistor on the board switching the voltage on and off now has more collector current as the speaker load is the collector resistor for the transistor, so the transistor T11 is not more likely to fail. this is why the speaker is 30 ohms as there is no standard audio amplifier to drive standard 8 ohm speakers as is usual

Hello everyone. To finish this machine, the speaker still needed replacing. That's done; I replaced it with a 16-ohm speaker. I tried adding an 8-ohm resistor to get closer to 30 ohms. But honestly, the result didn't make much difference. Very little difference. So I didn't add the resistor, and it works fine as is. So, it's finished. I want to thank everyone who contributed again. I'll make a video, as requested. Not right away (I have to leave again), but it will be done. Thanks everyone.

I found on Ebay this catalog about upright Bally slot machines especially about the "treasure chest" The seller don't tell me what informations are in this catalog about the machine. Electrical diagram ? diagram of the inside of the machine ? Could someone provide me with some information about this catalog ? Thanks in advance.

Hello. I'm continuing the ddismantling and cleaning of the machine. A lot of dried grease to remove. I found this coin inside the machine, instead of a washer.

I have got one of these, im still trying to suss out all the features, but its a nice game to play.. im amazed at how you make these emulators i may challenge you to making one for my jive money coin pusher. this is a pic of viva Las Vegas. so you can see the layout.

Thank you 👍

Hello Yes, I'll try to make a clear and understandable video.

It will be great to see this finished .could you do a video of this machine when you have completed the repairs .

Good evening. Not for now. Because if I bother you too much, you'll hate me. 🙄😁

Nearly there and well done, when you get this one sorted please do not stop there, buy some more so we can continue these adventures. 👍

hello and welcome

He can be reached on facebook or on other forums. someone might have his contact number

Good evening, gentlemen. I have an update. I had two remaining problems: 1. The lamps/lights 2. The sound. 1 - The first problem is solved. In the video, you can see that the X2 isn't lit when it should be. However, the following is lit, just above it: OR COLLECT 1/2 AND GAMBLE. Well, I admit; I searched a lot before realizing that the group of two lamps/lights was reversed. Probably during a previous cleaning. 2 - I received a faulty speaker; I'm waiting for a new one. That's all for now. Have a good evening. VID_20260212_165641.mp4

Not the first time^ won’t be the last. Weird seller, few people I know have won auctions, and the seller has instantly cancelled transaction. maybe they’re even on here 👀 acting the saint, like many others.

Speaking of dodgy eBay buyers/sellers, how on earth can this seller describe this board as in “Very Good Condition”…. It’s clearly suffered severe battery damage, is missing both pots, and he’s listed it as “used” rather than “not working / spares or repairs”. Think he needs to put his glasses on 🤓

There is another card Inside the cabinet. "This is the property of Phonographic equipment CO ltd" https://irp.cdn-website.com/d96e2807/files/uploaded/4._The__Phonographic_Equipment_Company_Ltd_Part_Three.pdf

Waouh... Thanks a lot for these informations and picture . The two machines look very similar. Mine has been modified, some wires are cut inside the cabinet and some exterior and interior parts are missing but they were in place before as you can see on the pictures. My machine has certainly been simplified, she works good now but there is no more "random hold feature, card payout feature and joker wild feature" I'm going to search in Bally's archive.

Pretty sure it's an early 1970s Bally machine. Possibly some companies conversion of the original game back in the day, I say that as I would expect Bally to have their logo on one of the glasses. Here is a similar cabinet Bally Machine, Treasure Chest from the same era to compare.

I have blocked him, I still got my money minus return label, buyer got a working board but instead of being happy decided to get his money back! I believe in Karma

Hello everyone. I would like to present you this electroméchanical machine and ask you for help. Here are sone pics of the machine and of the machine card. Maybe somebody knows this machine ?

totally puts me off wanting to sell anything on there, over the years have thought of selling the boards etc I made, but then hearing about the scams i think naa, I will loose less money by not selling!

Matty's work is top class, and worth waiting for.

That stinks, eBay are too quick to rule in favour of buyers and your experience is a good example of why sellers are put off from using eBay.. It is possible to report bad buyers, and to block them for bidding or buying your item.

Thanks for reply , will they be ready soon
