Title: Slot ARM HANDLE Help Post by: coinopshop on September 14, 2009, 03:04:52 PM Anyone know how the arm handle comes off ? The "end cap" is NOT on the "hub" this type handle.
Theres a 2" Allen Bolt on the bottom of the hub. The handle arm itself won't unscrew ( if it is supposed to ). The "hub" appears to hold the handle assy. on by compressing against the mechanism shaft. Thus by tightening the allen screw. What am I missing here to get this thing off ? Thanks, Dave.

Title: Re: Slot ARM HANDLE Help Post by: coinopshop on September 14, 2009, 04:29:00 PM It's a Bally 5000. Black Gold.
I don't want to bend it. But my guess is by removing the allen bolt, the compression on the hub should release a little and I'd guess the whole arm assy "should" slide off ( ???? ). The arm doesn't seem to unscrew like the other arm handles that I have replaced. Strange. Title: Re: Slot ARM HANDLE Help Post by: coinopshop on September 14, 2009, 04:35:55 PM MAN ! Do I feel like a moron. I just figured it out.
Theres a bolt ON THE INSIDE of the machine on the handle mechanism.( DUMMY ! ) I removed the bolt, the arm handle hub came right off....Whalla ! Thanks for the input. Dave.

(Did anyone actually suggest anything???) :97- :97- :97- Dan #2 Title: Re: Slot ARM HANDLE Help Post by: coinopshop on September 14, 2009, 05:20:25 PM No one did suggest anything because ( my fault ) I didn't mention the type machine.
Just by chance I glaced at the other side of the mech and it hit me like a ton of bricks ( called myself some few choice words ). I've been a tech for 25 years ( just never worked on slot machines ) , it just goes to show that you shouldn't look over the obvious. But it's apart and repaired now. I'm sure I'll need more slot help in the near future. Dave. |
