    Default Speed Racer Pachislo Problem

    I've been noticing on my Speed Racer Pachislo that when you pull the lever to start the reels they jump slightly and make a thud sound. This has been getting progressively bad everytime I play it. I checked the reels and found one of the push screws loose, but this did not help. Could it be what they call a stepper motor going bad. The machine is a scratch and dent machine from Stealth. It just had a couple flakes of the gold off the play area, and a ash tray missing. I bought this 2 years ago. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Devon

    I would remove the reel cage and reseat it. If that didn't help, you might try a little silicone on the motor and if that didn't help, hey two years out of a scratch and dent isn't too bad.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    need to have a few things answered before diagnosing #1 are all three reels doing it or just 1 and is it the same one all the time? #2 do the lights dim when the reels are suppose to start . Stepper motors are notoriously reliable and i seriously doubt they are going bad especially all 3 of them .

    2.No the lights do not dim

    sounds like a bad connection you might try pushing on the connection while hitting the spin lever and see if this stops the problem .the problem is this usually only happens on 1 reel not all three it may be that a driver on your main board is having problems . i would check all your connections back to the main board .take them apart then check the pins and make sure there making up well radio shack sells a pen with anticorrosion chemical in it its costly but it works great on electrical connections . if all three are doing it its not stepper motor problems .......

    Hope this works. The video doesn't show the jump in the reels that well.
