The fuses are there to protect the wiring and other parts if a short circuit occurs. Whoever bypassed the fuses made a silly mistake. I also noticed that someone wired xmas tree lights to light up the coin door reel glass window, and I am missing some kind of topper that sits in a chrome holder attached to the top of the cabinet, but those are easy things to fix. maybe it will just magically work again!).

Once I put things back to normal, I can continue to troubleshoot (if necessary. I am hoping that someone has a pile of junker machines lying around that I can get parts from. Can anyone also help me get a couple of the fuse holders/fuses that are missing, and tell me which wires go to which one? I can't find the specific electrical wiring diagram for this machine online. I suspect that something further along the line caused the meltdown with no fuse protection, but I'll have to fix the immediate problems before I can find out.Ĭan anyone help me get a transformer? The part manual online I found says it takes an E-122-105, and the number stamped on the transformer is 122-101 (not sure if there is a difference). I also noticed that at some point, two of the three fuses by the transformer were bypassed. I opened it up, and indeed the transformer is burnt up. Cosmetically, the machine itself is decent, with good glass and OK chrome, so I welcomed this project to my collection. The guy I bought it from said it worked for 10 years, then one day a coin must have caused a short and the transformer started cooking itself to death. I have experience with arcade and pin games, but no 'reel' slot experience. I am new to this forum, and am hoping you can help me fix an 831 I bought on Craigslist.
