Title: Bally E-Series Code 41 Post by: mavrik8511 on October 26, 2011, 07:54:28 PM I have an E-2209 that gives me a 41 code after the arm has been pulled. The reels dont lock. If I run the reader test, all of the readers are working correctly. If I remove the reels and cycle the machine, it works perfectly (not sure if this has anything to do with it). So does anyone have any idea what the problem could be??
Thanks, Maverick Title: Re: Bally E-Series Code 41 Post by: proten on October 26, 2011, 09:33:34 PM Check you kick & arm switches.

Title: Re: Bally E-Series Code 41 Post by: mavrik8511 on October 27, 2011, 01:34:03 PM I checked the cam switches and they seem to be working fine. If they were the problem, wouldnt I get the 41 code even when the reels are removed?
Tried adjusting the readers and that doesnt seem to work either. Title: Re: Bally E-Series Code 41 Post by: Amachanic on October 27, 2011, 01:42:33 PM Try moving the number 1 reader to the 2nd or 3rd position to see if the code changes. 42 would be bad reader in second position. 43 would be the third one. If it moves the reel reader has to be repaired.

I took apart the reels and lubed the bearings. Put it all back together and made sure it had a cool spin on it...an VOILA!!! No more 41 code. Now it just wont pay-out!!!
Thanks everyone for the help!!! Maverick Title: Re: Bally E-Series Code 41 Post by: Amachanic on October 27, 2011, 09:29:50 PM Glad you were able to figure it out. Check to see if your hopper motor and gear box spin freely and check the fuse on the hopper. Its possible that you could have a bad hopper control board. Check the large round diodes on the top of the control board number 11 & 12 i think. They dry out and will crack causing the board to fail. The other thing is that the mac15 or is it the Mac16 trac on the top of the board also go bad. Can you do any of the machine tests using the buttons on the hopper board?
