Title: looking for mechanical help in FL
Post by: csiwannabe on February 26, 2020, 09:33:11 pm
I apologize up front if this is not the right venue, but I am looking for some assistance with my Auto Bell flasher style slot machine.  It has been working fine, but now when I plugged it in, it is in "TILT" mode and won't accept coins.  Lights are fine and "spinner" handle moves freely. 

I'm looking for any recommendations you might have for someone in FL who does service/repair on slot machines/arcade/pinball. 

Thanks!

I'm attaching a couple of pictures.

I’d check the actual Tilt switch & look for a short between the contacts or a loose/broken wire ( I’ve zoomed in onto the picture of the tilt switch). also check the Tilt latching relay, it should release when you power-cycle the machine & release the “Tilt”  Unless this switch is stuck Or shorted

I guess it fell into the too difficult box.

I guess it fell into the too difficult box.

Just revisiting an old topic...just curious if it ever was repaired.

But unfortunately my "feeding spoon" for newbie's only reaches just so far...

either that or he's electrocuted himself into a Coma...  :wow:   ( hopefully not)
