Restoring 3 STAR arrangeball
Decided to take it completely apart and make it like new. Wanted to start simple and sand and refinish the box. Nothing simple about that! There is no way to simply unplug the wiring etween the door and box.DSCF8320.JPG No connector between the box and door.DSCF8321.JPG The low coin indicator lamp had toe cut in order to remove the coin acceptor. Since I didn't have anything to label wires cut with...I decided to clean and polish the coin acceptor. It did not clean as well as I expected. Lots of angels, and corners made it difficult, and time consuming. It looked OK, DSCF8344.JPGDSCF8340.JPG and I probably should have left it alone. But I sanded it with 400, 600, then 800 grit paper, DSCF8357.JPGand polished some more,,,a lot more. DSCF8340.JPG A lot of work for not much better. It is an extremely simple coin acceptor for a gambeling machine!DSCF8342.JPG Only 3 parts, with no adjustments. Have not tested it yet to see if I screwed it up! I then removed the relay board and main power relay, and polished them. The clear housings are cool and polish up nice!DSCF8348.JPG Here is the big power relay next to a Bic lighter to show size.DSCF8352.JPGDSCF8349.JPG It is cool that you can see through it (them), instead of just being a black box.
