Sometimes do slot machines repair too (email for more details.) I don't do this a lot, and generally won't come out for just a slot repair unless you have a pinball machine that needs some love too. Same applies to Chexx and Super Chexx Hockey games (domed bubble hockey) from 1983 (when introduced) to. Here is documentation to the golden age of slot machines. Very complete schematics and exploded diagrams from Bally service manuals for most every slot from the period. This is a MUST HAVE for any owner or collector of these great old machines.

I specialize in pinball games from the 1950s to present. That means I can fix an old EM (electro-mechanical) pinball, or the most current solidstate pinball games. I also fix old shuffle alley/puck bowling and ball bowlers, arcade baseball pitch and batgames, arcade mechanical gun games, and other similar arcade games. This includes coin operated games made by Gottlieb, Williams, Bally, DataEast, Midway, Sega, Stern, Chicago Coin (CCM), Genco, Mutoscope, United and many others. Newer Solidstate dot matrix display games to the oldest electro-mechanical pinballs.

I bring all tools and parts for your game with me (I would say less than 5% of the time I have to make a second trip backbecause I am missing a part). And if I can't fix your game there's nocharge (assuming you're not an hour's drive away.)

As part of the service I also clean the playing surface and the rubber bumpers (and replace them if they need it or you want it.) This only take a few minutes,and it's easy to do. I will show you how you can do this in the future too. Because keeping the playing surface clean is thebest way to keep your game playing great, lasting longer, and of courselooking good.

Note I am animal friendly! That is, if you have a dog or cat or two at your home, that is not a problem. I can fix your pinball game at your home withno worry about pets.

Generally a 60 mile trip (each way) is about as far as I can travel to do a pinball game repair(like 1 hour each way max.) Also travel is more limitedduring November to March, because the winter Michigan weather is unpredictable. So if you are far away and need a pinball game fixed for Christmas, please let me know ifpossible by November so I can make the trip before the winter weather comes.Keep in mind that long distance repairs can present problems for warranty work, hencemy hessitation to accept really long drives. Because if you have a problem after the repair,it is very difficult for me to support the repair due to long travel distances.This is why I don't like to travel too far for repair. So please keep that in mind.

Sometimes do slot machines repair too (emailfor more details.) I don't do this a lot, and generally won'tcome out for just a slot repair unless you have a pinball machinethat needs some love too. Same applies to Chexx and Super Chexx Hockey games (domed bubble hockey)from 1983 (when introduced) to present. Note I generally do not fix video games, but ifI'm at your house for a pinball repair, I can certainly take a look at your video game.

Owning a vintage slot machine is one of those fun yet daunting ideas. Many old school one-armed bandits are beautifully designed and instant conversation pieces. Plus slot fans who own a machine don’t ever have to worry about losing money to the house.

Charles August Fey, a Bavaria-born inventor, was living in San Francisco when he invented his first gambling machine in 1984. His games grew to be so popular at local bars, he quit his day job and opened a factory to start mass producing them, most notably the Liberty Bell machines in 1899. A lot of the functionality from that early game remained in place through much of the 20th century. Watch this video to see the seven mechanical actions set into motion when you pull back the bandit’s arm. The inner workings are probably a little more complex than you expect.

Given that a lot of old slot machines are hand built, it isn’t surprising that coins can get jammed on their way through the mechanism. Big warning: If your machine jams, don’t force the arm or you can break, twist or damage a part inside. Different models and makes tend to have common jam points. The Mills model shown in the above video can have coins stuck in the “elevator” section that displays the last five coins dropped into the machine. Getting the slot working again can be as simple as cleaning the gunk off of an old part. You just need to be smart when you’re disassembling and reassembling the machinery.

Okay, there are plenty of more places where a coin can get stuck and the above video demonstrates how to fix a variety of jams. It also explains how to disassemble the major parts of the machine and where common problem areas are.

Curious how an antique slot machine knows how much money a winner gets? This video shows the punch-card like communication that trips payouts and how. If you ever need to replace the reel symbols or calibrate the machine you’ll need to understand how these work. Even if you don’t ever plan on owning a machine, the metallic “circuitry” is interesting to see.

Want to own a modern slot machine? New ones have plenty more bells, whistles and dings, and also a lot more advanced parts. If you plan on getting one, you may want to have an idea of what’s inside. In addition to the classic reels, there are speakers, motherboards filled with programming chips and plenty of wires. Unless you have a way with a soldering iron you probably won’t try and fix it. But in case you do, here’s a clip from Discovery showing what’s inside.

Did you know newer slot machines are smart enough to test themselves when a problem happens? This video shows you the procedure for having the machine check its own system. The host’s desert dry delivery is also enough to make this vid worth a watch.
