Hi slottechs,

Need help with a Bally 5000.
Its a 6 coin machine.
autospin after six coin option is disabled.

problem is when i insert 1 or 3 coins the machine start to spin.
I change MPU and I/O board already, but still a problem.

does anyone have a solution ?

Cheers,

Berto

I would run through the input tests and make sure the buttons are working properly.  There may be something wrong with the spin switch.

I dunno... I have a 3 coin machine that will sporadically spin after the first coin is inserted, and the switches and switch harness aren't the problem. I never did figure out why the machine does this. On mine it can happen regardless of whether you drop coins or press the bet one button, and it can go dozens of spins with no problem and then show up every third spin.

I'd be very glad to have an answer to this issue as well.

Handle Optic ????

My machine doesn't have a handle.  :96-  But I have thought that it could be that the light wand optic was slightly misaligned. I'm not sure how I'd test that though. :103-

Resanberto might want to check his handle optic. :79-

That's insane!!!  There's got to be an answer.... Can you swap out the light wand optic?

I don't mess with the wand!  :81- :58-  It's custom and I doubt that there would be any replacement parts out there if I f*(d it up. :60-

The fact that it's an intermittent problem doesn't help matters either.

oh  If that's the case I wouldn't touch it either --   I would rather have a slot that triggers prematurely that none at all!   

There doesn't seem to be a graphic for that.. hmm  :97- :97- :97-

I solved it by doing what resanberto did: I set the machine to not autospin on max bet. Now I always press Bet Max - that never malfunctions. Then I either press Spin, or wave my hand through the wand. That way I can still use the wand without having to bet one at a time.

lol....i checked everything i could switches ,wiring...
and the autospin on maxbet was always disabled.
but still the machine spin with 1 or 3 coins inserted.

Can you be more specific? Does it do this on every spin, or just sometimes like my machine? If it always spins with 1 coin then how do you get to 3 coins? Does it happen when you press the "Bet One" button, when you drop coins into the machine, or both?

its a interm. problem..
it happens when you drop the coins.
sometimes 1 coin ...sometimes 3 coins .. i have 6 machine working on the floor and equally programmed.
only this one have this prob.

So it seems that we both have the same problem.

Have you checked the handle optic like blueridgeslots suggested? It will be easier for you to check it than it will for me. (I don't think that it is the problem, but it's best to make sure.)

On the 5000 there is an optic board not a microswitch like on most, very common to go bad on the 5000, usually the other way, won't spin, there is a paper insulator that dries up and is brittle as well, light effects the Bally opto's as well

ok i will try another optic and i will inform you guys.

cheers

2 totally different platforms between the 5000 and the 5500
