We are your place in California for slot machines over 25 years old. We service the following machines: Aristocrat, Bally, Buckley, Caille, IGT, Jennings, Mills, Pace, Watling, and WMS. We also service Pachinko games. Call us today to schedule the repair to your slot machine. Under the operation of Rick and Karen Murillo, we offer California’s most experienced (over 50 years) Service and Repair of Vintage 1940s thru 1980s Jukeboxes, Electro-Mechanical and Digital Pinball Machines, and Mechanical / Electronic Slot Machines, either at your location or at our fully operational repair service facilities.
Service procedures:
1) Get the correct service manual. We sell them as other dealers do, or you can download them from a couple of sites (use your Google skills to find these).
2) Start at the first page of the adjustments for the suspect area and check EACH switch/microswitch for correct operation, resistance when closed (as close to 0.0 ohms as possible), and adjustment.
3) Do each adjustment in the order shown in the manual - after all you have no idea when this was last performed - someone claiming the machine 'worked fine' is not exactly a technical overhaul. After all the machine is from the 1970s - would you run a 1970s car that you just bought without first changing the oil and having a mechanic check it over before loading the kids and driving on the freeway?
4) OK, after doing all the adjustments and double checking that everything is plugged in AND that all the fuses are the factory values AND that the power cord is safe (hold up to your ear and flex - it should be silent, and the insulation should be flexible where it is exposed inside the amplifier) - only then can you plug it in and see what happens.
5) Problems? Read the Troubleshooting section and pose questions to the jukebox mail list or newsgroup (read below) outlining what you have done (your overhaul) and what problems are and what you have doen to try and solve the problems.
Soon you will be joining a number of home owners who happily fix their own machines!
I do not provide private free tech support (my rate is $90/hour for private technical advice). However there are at least two jukebox forums that I (and many others) participate in to provide help and encouragement to collectors/owners such as yourself.
One is a newsgroup - alt.collecting.juke-boxes check with your Internet Service Provider about accessing Newsgroups (also known as Usenet).
The other is a jukebox mail list: and the mail list Searchable Archives.
I do recommend seaching the archives first for your model and problem (simple key words is best), then post a question with a bit more information - what works, doesn't work, did the machine work when you bought it but has since failed or has it not worked since you bought it, jukebox make, model, your location...

Hi Folks, I keep getting enquiries for jukebox repairs around the world...
Please send an email: stating your expertise, pricing, and service area so I can edit this Jukebox Service page here on Flippers.com. (jrr(at)flippers(dot)commmm.
Please note that I can NOT verify the quality of the work of the individuals or companies listed here - I place anyone that sends me a note. You have to decide if the person is qualified to work on your machine!

I believe it would help all of us to have this info compiled and easy for search engines. Flippers scores very high on Google as well, so it that should help. A link back would be appreciated...
No charge, I just want a place to send folks that email me daily...if it becomes work then I might consider charging, but for now, no plans at all. No adds...just lists of helpful people. I reserve the right to remove or not post anyone though. John :-#)# spam(at)flippers(dot)com (valid email address- really!)

A brief listing of people that claim to fix jukeboxes and the area they service, please note that I can NOT advise you as to the quality of their work, this is simply a public service to help people find repair folks - it's up to you to judge the work! I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
