Hanabi grew a new arm !!!!!

My Hanabi grew a real IGT slot handle . I just installed it and hooked it up .It works on both the small handle and the larger arm . With the auto stop i bought from a fellow pachi member its now able to operate in pachi mode or Vegas mode . I've tried it both ways and each has its own benefits but some times its nice to just sit back and pull that big arm and let her rip ,considering most of the time the machine controls the action anyway except for bonus rounds and when its behind and needs to catch up its payout % . but i have to admit the authentic handle is sweet compared to those cheap junk handle kits ,besides it has the ratchet sound effect mechanism on it to so it sounds like the old slots when pulled .

getting ready to break down a bally machine. if someone wants an arm i'll let it go for $75.00 including shipping. it's heavy!

The arm just replaces the small black handle correct ?

doesnt replace it . its just in parallel with it . the original is still there and functional.

Does the solenoid release the handle when credits are accepted or can it be pulled anytime?

Really nice display!!!!!!! Great job! The arm doesnt look to overwhelming on the machine it looks right. Now to put an autostop and that arm on AUTOMATIC the machine that I thought was automatic and Im there!

the handle can be pulled anytime but the reels dont spin unless the credit button is pushed first same as the regular handle .

It does look good! I had that handle mod in mind when I first got the Autoslot, but then spare time started slipping away and I felt guilty modifying the machines...each to his own, you did a great job.

That is cool. I put one on my Space Battleship Yamato. It works great, unfortunately its the chrome handle with the plastic hub and doesn't make the rachet sound. I wish I had found one like yours before. Mine squeaks from the spring inside...it's a bad design that I will have to deal with later.

I tried an auto stop, but it would always stay in NON-AUTO mode. it kept changing back after a win. I kept it and put it into my Gamera High Vision...It works great now.

Speaking of Gamera....I am going to post a question in the propper forum. Please check it out and maybe you can help answer a question on skill stopping.
Thanks

Where did you get the arm? That's the type I want. I doubt IGT will sell to the general public.

Thanks

you have to watch ebay for slot parts and wait for one to come up . there are a few places on there in Ohio that deal in slot machines (Vegas type) you might contact one of them and ask if they'll sell you a arm mech. assy. the one i got is from an igt machine (used part) and it worked perfectly besides it feels right and thats what your looking for anyway .....

checked ebay will sell arm off bally e2000 machine for 25.00 plus shipping. warning this thing is heavy. actual cost on shipping only no markup
