Title: Bally 1208 TILT error
Post by: rainman on September 28, 2012, 09:45:18 PM
Need help with a Bally 3 reel 6 quarter model E-1208-18. It had a bad MPU board that I got replaced (thanks Barry Fox for the board and all your help) and I had a bad reel read that I got replaced as well (thank's Gary  “Amechanic”  for the replacement and your help) .

The machine plays while running test #8 (the Game functional Test). When I go to normal run which for this machine has be “50 000” in the win meter as soon I pull the handle and the reels spin don’t stop and it goes to “TILT” something that never happen before  ever when I had issues with the reels not  stopping  it never when to ”tilt”.   To reset it I have to remove the connectors from the reel assembly and power cycle the machine.  I clean and realign the reel,  check the arm and the kick switch …both where good. From what I reading it sound like it may be an issue with the door switch, which is good when tested with a meter but fails when test #3 is run.  If the machine works good while right test #8 I’m assuming that the reel assembly and board is OK?

Thank for reading, any help is appreciated Ray

What is on the display after the reels fail to stop? The error code on the display?

It's still 50 000,  what else I noticed was all the lights on the reel reader turn off as soon as I pull the handle and pulling either reel connector that's mounted on the top back right hand side on the reel assemble and a power cycle will clear the "TILT"
