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 .

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.
