Yeah... is there any info on what type of material is used on reel bands? Some kind of styrene?

Would love some bands doing for a couple of.my machines so if anyone contacts you on here or elsewhere I'd be interested.

hi everyone !

Hello everyone ! I'm fresh new in the fruit machine system. Hope to find help and good friends here

Hi folks, Ive got some rare game artwork id like to print out-we've also got a graphics designer at work that will help me out tidying up the artwork... does anyone know anything about the printing processes or what companies do it-especially reel bands? Ive seen many people look into it over the years but not many people see it through- which is mad because of how many machines and reels have been produced over the years... is it niche or what?

yes that looks fine, 47 ohms 3w resistor will be fine with a 16 ohm speaker 👍 as long as it is close or near enough i would say it's fin. good work!

Hello! Fantastic!! It's good practice for you and a real boost for me. I understand everything. (I think...) I've got my calculator out again. Ohm's law. Thanks! Soon, I'll replace the original 27-ohm resistor with a 47-ohm 4W one. That will bring the resistance down to 63 ohms. It'll be cleaner, too. Please don't hold it against me. I'm slow to react, and sometimes the translation isn't straightforward. But we'll get there, with the explanations from Bob, JimXXX, Andrew... Thanks!

Any chance of some hi res images of the machine in a off state need some of the whole machine in view some of the full top glass in view mans some of the whole bottom glass including buttons in view then this can finally be made into a dx (a real looking layout) thanks

I am having a Problem with error 16 keeps displaying; have taken out note exceptor but it still finds error 16; cleaned out coin storage and checked all that; all works fine; but when I startup does everything fine even with the note exceptor in; when I go with the dil switches right and left fo the exceptor to be enabled right hand dil switch number 8 on "error 16" with or without a note exceptor in (is The Pub Lanlord 2012 machine Pluto 6 Board ) what do you think, I am thinking board error I am just stuck at mo bill

Hi all. Hope everyone is good. I was a member here years ago before the covid days. I was fruitypie. I am now back and want to restart building a club machine collection if possible. I say this as I have noticed buying 80s 90s fruit machines have become very scarce. And what is out there to the public are very high prices. Anyone with a club machine who is selling please get in touch with me.

I don't think pushers can be emulated unfortunately. but i could be wrong though.

just done some working out, with the resistor 27 ohms and the speaker at 30 ohms this totals 57 ohms, the supply is 12v so when the transistor T11 turns on 210ma passes through the transistor collector to emitter, that's 2.53watts, the transistor is rated for 800ma. but if the 30 ohm speaker is replaced with 8 ohm this becomes 27ohm resistor +8 ohms = 35 ohms, so the current goes up to 343ma and 4.12 watts! its still well within the transistors switching capacity, but as its most likely 40 year old transistor it will most likely die as these are prone to failing with age even when everything is all correct! also the increased current and switching the transistor on and off rapidly to create the 'tone' will cause heat in the transistor junction which can also cause the transistor to fail, but may be fine for a while. so its up to you really what you do. Others will say just change the speaker from 30 ohms to 8 ohms, and yes it will work, but it is entirely up to you if you want to do that, or do it properly. I would presume 30 ohms was chosen so a 3w 27 ohm resistor would be well within the ratings, with the 8 ohm speaker 4.12w puts the 27 ohm resistor as well under rated at just 3w

👍👍 perfect

Hello. In this temporary setup, I now have 28 ohms. That will rest T11. Thanks, Andrew. I'll order the necessary parts with my next order. For the upcoming video, should I post it in this same thread or elsewhere? Thanks.

Not always the case! I sold an untested epoch mpu on ebay a few years back sold for 12 quid, the buyer messaged me to say it fully worked, I also have loads of parts that have never been tried, but yes mostly bought untested means gubbed, I would rather list it as known to be faulty

We’ve all said this before but ‘untested’ or ‘not working but may just need a fuse’ are always total bollocks. Both = fucked.

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 .
