Bally El Toro

Was working OK, turned on played a game, etc.

Moved it to my place to shop it out. Put it back together correctly AFAICT.

Now when I plug it in, turn on the power, coin door lockout coil locks on and nothing else happens. No lamps, no score motor, nada.

Pulled and tested the 4 fuses in the bottom front, all test OK.

Not sure what to look at next.

Thanks,

RussMyers

If the Credit button doesn't activate the Credit relay,
Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires

OK, should the front coin door slam switch be normally open (closed is tilt) or normally closed (open is tilt).

That was it. The switch was closed but one of the wires was broken off.

Back in business.

Thanks!
