Hi there , I am new here , thanks for letting me join. We have had a Bally 785 N for near 45 years , rarely used for the last 25 . It all works , BUT when you drop in a quarter and pull the lever , the wheels don't turn. They try, but then each one just locks as it should, had they been spinning . Now, if you leave it on for days it may work some , but I know nothing about it . It was doing the same thing 25 years ago ... Can anyone help with sonme information ? thanks very much, regards, Bob

Could be a few different things!
Check out the boys at New Life Games, they specialize in the later electronic slots and Old Reno on the forum there has some good helping guides in the older section of the forum, the Archives!

He and I worked at Barney's in South Tahoe together in the late 60's early 70's!
You can also PM me for my phone number and we can chat, I work on them puppies and have Bally EM parts as well!
Bona Fortuna!

Ciao!
