1114 Hopper pays then requires reset

[Groutrig]

Reno, I am annalizing your Post # 16 above and trying to follow your instructions to check the payboard.

Please note, your payboard is mounted upside down compared with normal ones, so don't let that be a confusion.  Most payboards have the soldered area at the bottom, but it makes no difference, it's just odd that's all.

I think if you install a eraser where the rubber bumper was and adjust the fingers where they should be ,  that should solve your problem.    also clean the foil runs as Reno has suggested, your are extremely

dirty.   remove the metal part from the unit ( two black screws)  make sure the inside of the metal is cleaned out of any goop, get a flat pink eraser ( the ones that are about 3/8 thick)  use the metal housing as a templet to get the size you need, cut that out using a industrial razor blade, use a 1/8 drill bit and using your fingers to hone out a small hole in the middle (this is where the adjusting screw will go into) push the eraser into the metal housing, let approx. 1/8 inch stick out from the end of the metal housing. re install on the counter unit and loosen the locknut and use an allen wrench to adjust the wiper fingers so they are on the reset pads. now, use your count up coil (operate it with your finger) to count two spaces, see if the wiper fingers are off the foil run, and when did they fall off the foil run. they should have moved off the foil run as soon as the second count was finished. you should be able to determine which way if any the wiper fingers have to be moved. once you have it adjusted correctly, ever time you use the count up coil to check a different count it should fall off the foil run after the last count. the numbers on the pads correspond to the count that should take place, e.g 2 would be a two payout for a single cherry, 5 would be two cherries, 10 would be three oranges etc. use the reset coil to reset the count each time.   you could do all of this with the unit outside the machine and not hooked up to the machine. strictly  using the count up coil and the reset coil and you fingers as the action devise.

Jim, very well said.  Most excellent post, and it would be nice to somehow mark that so that others could easily find it, but I don't know how to do that. 
Would you start a thread, "how to replace your zero stop" and post that for us all?
Very clear and understandable.

Old Reno & Jim, I can't thank you guys enough.  I followed your instructions and now my 'Ol Bally 1114 is purring like a kitten.  I have had this thing for almost 20 years.  My now married kids used to stand on a chair and play this thing for hours on end.  It has sat in the garage for the last ten years. 
I have cleaned the contacts, overhauled the handle piston, lubed it up, put new light bulbs, and now fixed the reset and payboard.  I don't think I could have been successful if it were not for you guys and others on this sight.  THANK YOU !
Now for cosmetics.  The chrome is pitted, etc.  It is going to come into the house next to my 1970's Juke Box.  Thanks again guys.
