ARUZE Don Chan Reel bulb help needed

**cyborg009** · 05-08-2008, 03:16 PM

Im having trouble trying to work out how to replace two reel bulbs on right reel, its the top and bottom one that are out. Ive had the machine a while now and have finally plucked up the courage to have a go at replacing them. I have four bulbs as spare . 2 of them are in black holders. just need to know where to start as i cant get access with the reels in the cabinet.

thanks

Are they bulbs? I thought Aruze uses Led's in its reels.

They Are Bulbs. I can see them. It has LED lights in the reels too. Its fairly old. made in 2001

on some models you can remove all the connections and a few screws and take the whole reel assembly out, on others you can just pull one reel out enough to replace them

Each reel assembly should be a top screw and a bottom screw, take them both out. Disconnect 2 cables going to each reel. slide reel out, might have to wiggle it a little to get it out. Reel should be held on the assembly by 1 center screw. Unscrew then pull reel off assembly. You should have access to the bulbs now, Good Luck

Right then, I'll Give it a go. hopefully it will be just the one reel i have to unscrew.

Well I managed to change the bulbs by unscrewing 2 screws and sliding the single reel out. didnt even have to unplug the ribbon cables. Thanks For your help.
