Bally E2290 won't coin up/goes into tilt (FIXED)

[BR549 Auto Sales]

I can push that down and I can manually spin the coin wheel inside the hopper. When I do, it is just letting 1 quarter exit at a time so I can't see why it is letting to many out during a pay. When I do the #4 hopper test it only let's 10 put at a time as it should

Did you check the coin wiper to make sure only one coin can go under it and check your switch adjustment? Those and the brake are the only things that I know to check? You could do test five to see if your reel readers are reading and matching your payouts.

from what I can tell, only one coin at a time is passing through the wiper, what switch adjustment are you asking me to check? the level switch?

[Amachanic]

I'm not sure what you meen by a level switch? The one I'm asking you to check is a large black switch on the top of the hopper. It's the one on the other end of the roller and lever linkage that the coin goes under and lifts up just before they exit the hopper. Some have a small adjusting screw and nut that you use for the adjustment, others you just have to bend the switches trip lever

Ok, now it seems as if I have a new problem. While playing this game, the reels stopped in a non winning position, the bell went off and it started dropping coins non stop. But unlike other times upon a win, the meter was not showing winner paid nor was it rolling up how many coins were dropping. Well after a short time, it stopped dropping coins and the tilt light came on, but there is no code showing on the meter. Any idea as to what is causing this?

Thanks,

one other thing, now when I open the door, the top candle light does not come on, like it is not seeing that the main door is open

also on test #4 instead of the hopper releasing just 10 coins, it won't stop until all are gone from the hopper.

Sounds like you have a short or grounded wire? Have you checked behind the I/O and MPU to make sure nothing has gotten behind them like a coin or screw? I've never seen a run away hopper on an E-Series machine before?

Ok, looks as if it is working properly now. I don't know if this had anything to do with it or not but I removed the hopper and adjusted the knife and put the hopper back into the machine and now it is counting out the correct amount of coins on a winning payline. Thanks again for all of the help on this machine.

Cool David... Glad it working again. These old Bally's, sometimes I think they have a mind of there own.. One minute they are just humming along, and the next

I will keep my fingers crossed.
