Title: Help with hopper Post by: Carne_Asada_Guy on March 06, 2012, 07:37:59 PM Okay.. here's another question... now mind you, i dont know
much about these machines. Lol, i'm new. (( some photos here )) (http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo157/yuma3344_album/bally_one/DSCF0006.jpg) (http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo157/yuma3344_album/bally_one/DSCF0007.jpg) (http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo157/yuma3344_album/bally_one/DSCF0009.jpg) The hopper: could the situation of it being only 1/3 full be a reason for incorrect payouts. What happens is this: 70% of the time, it pays out correctly 30% of the time, it pays out wrong When it's wrong.. it's usually short a few quarters. Even times when it should pay 10, it sometimes will pay 8 or 9. The hopper never pays MORE than it is supposed to... just short pays. Next question... i have no idea if the hopper is in a fixed and permanent position? Since i dont have piles of quarters around (yet)... i'll play the machine for 10 minutes, then shut off open door & reach in. Problem is... the opening is pretty dang small.... and for my adult it's really cumbersome, etc, etc, etc... Suggestion? matthew Title: Re: Help with hopper Post by: RiseLikeRa on March 08, 2012, 02:34:28 AM Hopper slides in amd out on rails. Your machine looks pretty weathered so it may not pull out easily but it will pull out. DO NOT SPRAY lubricant into cabinet. If you can DROP some lubricant and let it sit for a while that might help. As for your payout problem, sounds like it may just be a simple adjustment on the left side of the hopper. My advice is free and worth every penny.

My objectives now are to get a bulb for the lighting of the reels... and get a cabinet. I guess one step at a time. I hope to spend a little dough along the way -- and, maybe have a valuable machine soon. matthew |
