Title: Raven 1968 projector slot machine
Post by: Mr. Dinoman on September 16, 2009, 11:26:28 PM
Hello everyone...I have a 1968 Raven slot machine made by Raven electronics of Nevada...It seems like the coin drop proximity sensors  (x2) are not sensing the coin drop...Does anyone have any schematics for this nice old slot?

Hey Dinoman, is that the machine sold recently on Craig's List, or it it just an amazing coincidence that two Ravens get mentioned here in two weeks?

If you're close enough to me geographically, I will trouble-shoot it just for the opportunity to look inside.

Yes this the one...I did make a fix for it...It is now working, but the counters circuits are not...No big deal about that...I would still like to find info and schematics on this thing...It is pretty cool and way ahead of its time...I am in Mission Viejo, CA...if that is close enough, you are welcome to take a look....Again-VERY COOL!

Also, just to clearify...This is not the $1200 one

Aha - so there are more than one of them and it is an amazing coincidence. Someone must have disposed of an old collection.

If there is any info or schematics surviving for electronic machines of that era, I don't know of it. I have a name and address for the guy who designed several of these logic games, it wouldn't surprise me if he did the entire series, but I've never asked him if he had any documentation in the attic. I fixed some logic games by tracing out the board schematics myself, but that's not a weekend job.

I do not think it was a coincidence...The guy I purchased it from said he has owned it for years...Who knows...

What I meant to say is, yes I believe it is a coincidence....
