No the payout doesn’t work. I do have a hopper from one of my slots but lack the knowledge and experience to hook it up. It also has a “doorbell” button in it and an extra counter (3) and a few more coils by the door. Some sort of reset or to add credits?, who knows? Phil Anderson was the controller who made the adjustments acording to Phil from CDYN. He made the adjustments because people would rest the machine with one coin then play the green button until they lit the blue section. If you were good at hitting the 13, 16, 17, 20, 21 you would win either 300 or 600 credits. Turns out he was right! ( both Phil’s) I found Phil Anderson’s card in my machine, and ...if you can hit those numbers you could clean up by only playing for the blue super section. Does your machine still have all of the parts? Mine has all of the parts except the blue super section coil. Its nice to communicate with people who can appreciate these machines. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the enormous databank that is available on bingo.cydn.com and the forums here. I had never seen the inside of one of these until December 10th. I now have two that did not work when purchased,that work now. I still have a few issues. After reassembling the Silver Sails it will not start the ok or gate game...search disk stops on positions 29 and 33 or whatever the gate game is but the new game won’t start? I’ve looked at everything I can think of except the shutter switches? The Sea Island had all kinds of issues. The magic screen motor was locked up and just hummed. The shaft on the motor was half a turn out of sequence with the screen position. Right button didn’t work after I got the screen back together.Ball lifter didn’t work. Steppers were all gummed up. Scoring didn’t work....and some other stuff I probably forgot. The most frustrating part of this is.....I’m not even sure how I fixed most of this stuff! It doesn’t work. Look it up in the manual. I clean it, it still doesn’t work... I manually make it do what it is supposed to do if I can...reset, play again, and the damn thing stars working like it’s supposed to....or not. Repeat the process over and over. Sometimes the light bulb comes on and I say ah ha THAT is what it was...But 50% of the time, I don’t see the fix! Am I alone here or have any of you experienced this?
