    Default What’s the name of this machine?

    My brother in law stumbled on this little jewel. But he needs a new skill stop board. Can anyone identify this unit and help me find him a working skill stop board?

    They laid the machine on its back when transporting it from the sellers to the buyers, once erect, it wouldn’t skill stop with the front buttons. Replaced the little glass fuse while the machine is off, once on, it blows immediately!!! Figured it was the whole board.

    I'd check for loose tokens perhaps shorting something

    Actually, it’s a cloth for wiping fingerprints and smudges off the chrome. We seem to be addicted to the shine.

    Where would I start looking, the coin mechanism?

    The machine blows the glass fuse every time the machine is switched on and a new fuse is installed.

    We’ve kept the amperage of the fuse at 1 amp.

    Anywhere and everywhere. A token could be sitting on a circuit board shorting something.

    If the skill stop board was bad, wouldn’t that prevent the reels from stopping at all? Currently they stop on their own after a minute or so. The front skill stop buttons tested good with an ohmmeter.

    And we can’t locate anything foreign on any board causing a short.

    So it only blows the fuse when the stop board is attached? Otherwise the machine works OK (other than no stop buttons)?

    Basically yes. When power hits the board, the fuse blows.

    Turn machine off
    Install new 1amp fuse
    Power on
    Fuse blows
    Machine still operates normally
    Skill stop button don’t work.
    But the machine still stops all reels after the timeline of 1 minutes or so.

    Did a little reading of some other threads and this one had a solution, although it might not be what's wrong with yours. Answer is in the last post. Looking at the first picture in your thread, capacitor C10 doesn't look healthy. It's just a filter capacitor, wonder if it can be removed and still be able to test the board?

    So, how should I remove it? Just clip it? Or unsolder and resolder in a wire?

    You do so at your own risk, but just remove it. A wire would be the same as a short. If it works, I wouldn't leave it like that, but get the replacement part.
