Title: Bally E-1260-4 Restoration Post by: slotter on March 31, 2010, 01:59:48 PM Hello, I found this 1982 E-1000 series machine on Craigslist for $50. The machine started life in a casino in Atlantic City, then was converted for an arcade on the boardwalk. The slot was in pretty bad shape when I got it. The machine would turn on but not play, the door would not shut, the belly glass and bezel were cracked and dented. After a few months and a lot of help(and parts) from Barry Fox, the machine is back to life!

Did you disconnect the "skill stop" buttons? :128- How did the inside turn out? (pun intended :96-) :211- Title: Re: Bally E-1260-4 Restoration Post by: slotter on March 31, 2010, 02:35:37 PM The skill-stop button have been disconnected. The wiring was extremely messed up when I installed the new e-prom for the game. The e-prom for the token machine actually paid out about 110%!! I may wire the skill-stop buttons back if I have some time in the future. The inside of the machine is not really that nice. This machine was really, really used!

I wouldn't reconnect the buttons if it were mine. I figured that you left them in place because there was no way to cover the holes that they had made in the door. :8- Thanks for posting pictures of your project. K+ :88- Stat :31- Title: Re: Bally E-1260-4 Restoration Post by: reho33 on March 31, 2010, 04:28:51 PM How does one put skill-stop buttons on a slot? I assume that a reel tilt error would show up if you stopped the reel from spinning? But I guess there's a circut for that.
