BALL COUNT SWITCH MOUNTING BRACKET WHICH HOLDS THE
BRACKET TO THE FRONT BULKHEAD OF THE REAR CABINET IN THE
~0 SCORE FLOOR AREA. DO NOT UNPLUG THE CONNECTOR
LEADING FROM THE WIRE HARNESS TO THE BALL COUNT SWITCH.
AFTER THE TWO MACHINE BOLTS ARE REMOVED, SIMPLY TURN THE
BRACKET AROUND AND REINSTALL THE BOLTS THROUGH THE
SWITCH MOUNTING BRACKET AND BACK INTO THE PRE-TAPPED
HOLES IN THE FRONT BULKHEAD OF THE REAR CABINET. ADJUST
THE ACTUATING WIRE OF THE SWITCH SO THAT THE BALLS
STRIKE THE WIRE AS THEY PASS THROUGH THE BALL RETURN
OUTLET. REFER TO DRAWING NO. 600035 IN BACK OF MANUAL.
THE FRONT AND SIDE CAGE PIECES ARE PACKED IN A SEPARATE
BOX. THE CAGE ASSEMBLY CONSISTS OF THREE PARTS: FRONT
CAGE, LEFT CAGE AND RIGHT CAGE. PLACE RIGHT CAGE ON
ALLEY SO THAT IT FITS INTO THE RECESSED CUT ON THE RIGHT

PLUG WIRE INTO PROPERLY WIRED 120V AC RECEPTACLE AND
VERIFY ALL LAMPS ARE LIT. THE GAME IS READY TO PLAY.
C. TICKET DISPENSER
1.
BASIC ELECTRONIC OPERATION OF TICKET DISPENSER MODEL
DL1275H: WHEN THE CONTROL UNIT CALLS FOR A TICKET TO BE
ISSUED, THE MOTOR IN THE DISPENSER IS TURNED ON. WHEN A
TICKET IS DISPENSED, THE OPT0 BEAM BREAKER SENSES A
NOTCH IN THE TICKET AND SENDS BACK A SIGNAL TO THE
CONTROL UNIT. AT THIS TIME THE TICKET COUNTER IS
INCREMENTED. IF NO MORE TICKETS ARE CALLED FOR THE
MOTOR IS TURNED OFF.
3

2. BASIC MECHANICAL OPERATION OF THE TICKET DISPENSER MODEL
DL1275J.i: TICKETS ARE MOVED THROUGH THE TICKET CHUTE BY
MEANS OF A POWER DRIVEN ROLLER WHICH Is SPRING LOADED
AGAINST AN IDLER ROLLER. THE POWER DRIVEN ROLLER HAS
TWO NEOPRENE 0 RINGS INSTALLED, AND UNDER NORMAL
OPERATING CONDITIONS ARE THE ONLY CONTACT WITH THE
TICKETS. THE POWER DRIVEN ROLLER IS MOUNTED ON THE
c
OUTPUT SHAFT OF THE MOTOR GEAR TRAIN ASSEMBLY.
THE
MOTOR ASSEMBLY IS MOUNTED TO THE PIVOT BRACKET ASSEMBLY
IN THE TWO OILITE BEARINGS. THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY HAS A
LIMITED FREE SWING, LIMITED BY A SINGLE PIN ENGAGED IN
THE BRAKE SPRAG.
THE BRAKE SPRAG ENGAGES THE ROLLER AS
AN ANTI THEFT DEVICE. WITH THE FREE SWING OF THE MOTOR
ASSEMBLY, THE DIRECTION OF TORQUE, WHEN THE ELECTRIC
POWER IS APPLIED, IS IN A DIRECTION SO AS TO RELEASE THE
BRAKE SPRAG.
WHEN AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO PlJLL TICKETS
FROM THE MACHINE WITH THE POWER OFF, THE T0RQUE IS
REVERSED AND THE BRAKE SPRAG IS ENGAGED. ALSO, THE
PULLING OF TICKETS WILL CAUSE THE PIVOT BRACKET ASSEMBLY
TO APPLY A PRESSURE TO THE POWER DRIVEN ROLLER AGAINST
THE TICKET AND IDLER ROLLER GREATER THAN THE PRE-SET
SPRING LOAD. THIS WILL CAUSE THE 0 RINGS TO DEPRESS AND
THE COURSE KNURLED SURFACE OF THE ROLLER WILL THEN GRIP
THE TICKETS. ONE OUNCE OF PULL WILL APPLY 20 LBS. OF
PRESSURE ON THE ROLLERS.
3. LOADING OF TICKETS: TICKETS ARE ENTERED IN THE REAR OF
TICKET CHUTE AND PUSHED FORWARD. THE POWER DRIVEN
ROLLER WILL BE SPRING LOADED AGAINST THE IDLER ROLLER
AND TICKETS WILL NOT PASS UNTIL THE ROLLERS ARE CLEAR OF
EACH OTHER. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY USE OF THUMB AND
INDEX FINGER, ONE PLACED ON THE BLOCK TO WHICH THE
SPRING IS ATTACHED, THE OTHER. ON THE PIVOT BRACKET
ASSEMBLY, THEN SQUEEZE. PUSH THE TICKETS THROUGH UNTIL
YOU SEE THE EDGE OF THE TICKET. ALIGN THE NOTCH IN THE
CENTER OF THE OPTIC SENSOR.
4. TICKET DISPENSER CONTROLLER BOARD: ATTACHED TO THE
TICKET MACHINE IS A TRANSISTOR MOTOR CONTROLLER WHICH
PROVIDES DYNAMIC BRAKING TO ENSURE ACCURATE AND
REPEATABLE TICKET STOPPING AFTER ISSUING ANY NUMBER OF
TICKETS. INCLUDED AS PART OF THE CONTROLLER IS TICKET
SENSING BY MEANS OF AN OPT0 BEAM BREAKER SENSOR. ALSO
INCLUDED IN SIGNAL CONDITIONING WHICH PROVIDES HIGH
ELECTRICAL NOISE IMMUNITY. THE OUTPUT OF THE TICKET
SENSING CIRCUITRY IS THE EQUIVALENT TO A SINGLE POLE
DOUBLE THROW SWITCH.
5. ROLLER TENSION SPRING: THE ROLLER TENSION SPRING KEEPS
CONSTANT TENSION ON THE TICKETS, WHICH INSURES PROPER
DELIVERY AND PREVENTS TICKETS FROM BEING PULLED THROUGH
WHEN THE DISPENSER IS IDLE. TO INCREASE TENSION, LOOSEN
SCREW AND MOVE SPRING FORWARD. TENSION IS ADJUSTED
CORRECTLY WHEN THE TICKETS CANNOT BE PULLED FROM THE
DISPENSER.
6. TICKET GUIDE SPRING: THE TICKET GUIDE SPRING INSURES
THAT THE NOTCHES IN THE TICKETS PASS THROUGH THE OPT0
4

BEAM BREAKER SENSOR. TO INCREASE TENSION, LOOSEN SCREW
AND MOVE OUTER SPRING UP. THIS CHANGES THE TENSION ON
THE INNER SPRING.
TICKETS SHOULD BE SNUG BETWEEN SPRING
AND SIDE PLATE BUT NOT DEFORMED BY EXCESS TENSION.
THIS
SPRING IS ADJUSTED AT THE FACTORY FOR l-3/16" WIDE
TICKETS.
7. TICKET STOP ADJUSTKENT: THE TICKET STOP ADJUSTMENT
,
ALLOWS POSITIONING OF TICKETS WHILE MACHINE IS OFF.
THE
TICKET SHOULD PROTRUDE THROUGH SLOT APPROXIMATELY l/16".
THE TICKET DISPENSER PC BOARD IS MOUNTED WITH TWO SCREWS
AND TWO SLOTTED HOLES. LOOSENING THE SCREWS AND MOVING
THE BOARD FORWARD WILL ALLOW THE TICKETS TO STOP FARTHER
OUT BEYOND THE EDGE OF THE SLOT.
8. TICKET DISPENSER REPLACEHENT: THE TICKET DISPENSER CAN
BE REMOVED AND REPLACED BY REMOVING THE NUT ON THE REAR
OF THE LOCK ON THE DOOR AND LIFTING OUT THE DISPENSER.
REMOVE THE DOOR STOP CHAIN ON THE OLD DISPENSER AND
CONNECT TO THE NEW USING THE SAME HARDWARE. PLACE THE
DISPENSER INTO THE SLOT ON THE DOOR MAKING SURE THAT THE
LEFT SIDE OF THE UNIT IS AGAINST THE LEFT INNER FRAME OF
THE DOOR (THIS IS TO INSURE CLEARANCE OF THEDISPENSER
CONNECTOR AND THE DOOR FRAME). TIGHTEN THE BRACKET ONTO
THE LOCK REUSING THE NUT. RECONNECT THE CONNECTOR.

1. IMPROPER SCORING
EACH OF THE SEVEN SWITCHES IN THE SCORE TRACK SCORES THE
POINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE POCKET IT IS IN. DROP A BALL IN
EACH POCKET ONE AT A TIME TO DETERMINE WHICH SWITCH IS NOT
WORKING. AN INTERMITTENT SWITCH CAN GIVE MISLEADING RESULTS.
IN THAT CASE, ROLL AS MANY BALLS AS NEEDED IN EACH POCKET TO
I
DETERMINE WHICH SWITCH MAY NEED ADJUSTING, OR THE ENTIRE
SWITCH MAY NEED REPLACING.
2. IMPROPER BALL COUNT DISPLAY
CHECK THE SWITCH IN RIGHT REAR SIDE OF THE RUNWAY IN THE NO
SCORE FLOOR AREA FOR PROPER ACTION. THE ACTUATING ARM MAY
NEED ADJUSTING OR THE ENTIRE SWITCH MAY NEED REPLACEMENT.
MAKE SURE ALLEY HAS PROPER AMOUNT OF BALLS(S).
3. IMPROPER NUMBER OF BALLS RELEASED.
CHECK THE SWITCH ON THE BALL RELEASE MECHANISM UNDER THE
RIGHT CHANNEL COVER. THE ACTUATING ARM MAY NEED ADJUSTMENT
OR THE ENTIRE SWITCH MAY NEED REPLACEMENT. IF THE AMOUNT OF
BALLS RELEASED TO THE PLAYER IS ALWAYS ONE LESS THAN THE
PROPER NUMBER, THE SWITCH WIRE SHOULD BE ADJUSTED AWAY FROM
THE BALLS. IF THE AMOUNT OF BALLS RELEASED IS MORE THAN THE
PROPER NUMBER, THE SWITCH SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TOWARD THE
BALLS.
4. NO SOUND
IF NO MUSIC OCCURS DURING THE PLAY OF A GAME, FIRST CHECK
THAT THE VOLUME CONTROL (ON THE CONTROLLER) IS SET PROPERLY.
THEN CHECK THAT THE CABLES ARE CONNECTED PROPERLY FROM THE
POWER SUPPLY TO THE SPEAKER. NEXT MAKE SURE THAT THE SPEAKER
IS NOT DAMAGED. REPLACE SPEAKER IF NECESSARY. THEN REPLACE
THE SOUND BOARD. IF THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM, THEN RETURN THE
UNIT AS PER INSTRUCTIONS.
5. COIN INSERTION DOES NOT START GAME.
AFTER INSERTING COIN THE START BUTTON SHOULD BLINK. IF THIS
DOES NOT OCCUR, CHECK THE COIN MECH SWITCH FOR PROPER ACTION.
THE ACTUATING ARM MAY NEED ADJUSTING OR THE ENTIRE SWITCH MAY
NEED REPLACING.
6. COUNTERS DO NOT WORK
CHECK THE CABLE CONNECTION FROM THE COUNTERS TO THE LOGIC
BOARD. REPLACE THE COUNTER WITH A GOOD COUNTER. IF IT STILL
DOES NOT WORK, THEN REPLACE THE LOGIC BOARD. RETURN THE UNIT
FOR REPAIR AS INSTRUCTED IN THIS TEXT.
