Setting a Bally EM to free play
Steps
- Turn the credit wheel to zero credits (zero shows in the backglass).
- On the credit stepper find the notched wheel with its fixed pin: it opens one switch only at zero credits.
- Bend that switch so it stays closed in every position, or jumper it.
- Leave alone the switch worked by the movable slotted-head pin: that is the maximum-credit switch and must stay normally closed.
