I've brought this up before.

I like to think I'm pretty good with all brands though Bally is probably my weakest.

This was my first EM and I cut my teeth on it. Fixed lots of issues, some by myself and some with your help.

It's a really pretty BG and has a very unusual PF layout, but the game has never really excited me.

The game runs pretty trouble free now, but it's time to go to make room for the next victim. A Spirit of 76 which is patiently waiting.

One of my coworkers want to buy it.

The only problem it has is that when you first turn it on the score motor runs slow.

The score reels reset slow and the game itself is slow.

After the 2nd or 3rd game everything is fine.

I've taken the motor transmission apart and degunked it. No change.

Picked up a replacement motor and tranny from eBay. No change.

Has anyone ever seen this and is there a wizard out there with a solution?

Kind of hate to hear this person complaining.

Thanks,

Bert

Hmm.

That's one thing I have never really thought about.

It does look pretty beat up.

I even think there is a piece of wood wedged in it to reduce the buzzing.

i can test for voltage output over time.

Anything else I can do to tweet it?
