Hey all!

Just bought myself 'Gold Digger' (Bell) off E-bay, and am well happy! Now have a glorified moneybox in my hallway

The only problem is a few of the bulbs are out, i'm getting replacement one's but a couple have gone behind the filter bit (the spinning strip which allows you onto superboard). Anyone know how to change these bulbs?

Thanks!

Yeah i saw that one, those bulbs are easy to change! These are the ones behind the moving strip and are really difficult to get to. Help!!

I know this sounds totally mad, but if you can get a picture, from the inside of the machine, showing the belt reel mech with the offending bulb in, I'm sure common sense would dictate to one of us how to replace it

I remember when I got my first bandit, I was too scared to change the bulbs in the reels. Next time I took it apart, I had all the reels out, lined up, bulbs changed, e.t.c. Great fun

remove the reel do this when the machine is off unplug the loom which runs into it remove the black cover pull back the clips then releast the reel the bulbs are twist and pull as they have there housing which they are sitting in as i said twist them round the pull there bulb can now be replaced

Cheers guys for the help! Sorry for the delayed reply, fixed it in the end, had to take the whole strip mechanism apart 8O but I got there in the end!!

And it's soo much fun to play!!

Quick question, i've got full hopper but the cash full light doesn't come on, i know the bulb works behind it, when does this light come on??

[Bencrest]

How did you float he machine?

Check the balance of the hopper.....I'm guessing you'll just have to insert the refill key [possibly with a door open], and make sure it is reading more than £25.

Even though the machine can physically have £125 in the hopper, if you've poured that in rather than floating with a key, it may assume it has no coins in.

[Kouryou]

Reset Hopper to £125 then dumped it to read £125 short, re-booted and checked Hopper level read £0. Closed door and refilled using refill key. Checked Hopper again and it read £125. Any further pounds i put in fell down the back showing the hopper was full.

The only thing that puzzles me is the connector on the hopper there are 3 possible wires to connect the hopper to the coin mech. There is a double wire connector which when connected just makes the coins fall down the back, a single wire connector which i'm using at the moment and another single wire connector which was originally connected when i first bought it.

I don't know if this makes any difference?

Thanks!
