    Default One reel will not spin

    I have the opportunity to purchase an Electrocoin Cherry Bar 9160 from a coworker, but it has a pre-existing condition. The left reel barely spins.

    I switched the connectors from one reel to another and the issue followed the connector, so the issue should not be the reel. I used a multimeter to check voltages and the defective connector has different readings than the functional two other connectors. I also reseated all connections to the board the reels attach to. It would appear to be a board issue to me, but I am new to pachislo repair.

    Should I replace the board on the side of the machine? Would this be an expensive repair? Where would I find parts for this machine?

    Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

    i would start by cleaning the connections on the reels and board male and female with some contact cleaner

    sometimes just reseating a few times helps too

    there seldom is a real problem other that that, these were made to be on and running in a palour almost 24-7

    your correct your problem is probably in the connector since it didnt go with the reel . when you took your reading did you take it at the face of the connector where it connects to the reel ? if so try probing the back where the wires go into the connector . the old connectors have a habit of breaking the spring pins inside and not making full connection to the reel .this causes the reel to studder rather than roll. sometimes flexing the connector will complete the circuit and allow it to roll if this occures then you have a bad connection (broken pin or dirty connection ) radio shack sells a contact cleaner called deox its a tad expensive but really helps deoxidize the contacts .good luck either way .

    I have tried cleaning the contacts on both ends of the cable from the reels to the PCB on the left hand side of the machine. I will attempt this a couple more times to see if it helps as well as check the pins on the connection. Thank you for all the help, I will post again after I get a chance to work on this again.
