Title: Bally E 1000 code 41 Post by: bikerbawb on April 04, 2011, 02:49:13 PM Can anyone define what "improper reel spin" means. It comes up as error 41 on my E1000 machine. The reader cards pass test five so I'm sure the cards are OK. although I do get intermittent failures on reel one when doing the manual test. After resetting everything it usually plays very well until I shut it down. When I fire it up again I start with these reel failures. This machine was stored for a very long period of time. I've cleaned everything the best I could without removing every nut and bolt. I'm wondering if a sluggish reel mechanism could be creating my errors. They seem snappy enough to me. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

I'm getting another reader card in a day or two and will swap out the card and see what happens. Thank for the input.

If it did the first 2 reels should stop and the 3rd one would continue to spin, giving you a code 43...

Still, I don't have a lot of confidence it will continue to function properly all the time. We'll see what happens.

Title: Re: Bally E 1000 code 41 Post by: bikerbawb on April 12, 2011, 11:28:43 AM Yeah, I went back and cleaned everything and replaced the intermittent reader card and all seems well now. I found a place that sells photo transistors for 59 cents each. I bought a handful and will fix the the spare cards I have. It can't hurt to have a couple extras lying around. Thanks everyone for you input.
