bonus buzzer?

Postby robtdix » Tue Oct 21, 2025 6:48 pm

My 1962 vintage mills has a buzzer. The machine is also missing most of the wiring and any visible method to accuvate the thing.

But somewhere, perhaps even on this forum, there was a post explaining how/where a switch can be added.

Have you any information on this?
thanks

I found a picture of this mysteriously located switch which, it seems, would be activated when all the slides move. thoughts?

It looks like a switch to activate the buzzer only when you hit a jackpot. I say that because, based on the picture, the top payout slide's vertical post goes into the notch of the buzzer assembly. Then the buzzer will be actuated.

robtdix,

mazzeosa17 is correct. My open front has the same type of setup. When the jackpot hits the buzzer goes off.

thank you both gentlemen
It appears that this is something that i can create without getting too destructive.

Am I correct in thinking that the buzzer will sound until the next coin is cycled thru?

Yes, that makes sense - the buzzer will sound until the next coin is cycled through, because the payout slides will move forward on the next cycle, opening the switch and cutting the circuit.
