Re: Aristocrat Starlite - won’t payout

Wow - you are right about the payout card having been changed - I can’t tell what was under it before as it has been painted over though. Thank you the slides make sense to me now!

Re: Aristocrat Starlite - won’t payout

Thank you for the comprehensive replies - that’s really helpful. I think I will leave the slide set up as it is for now and save that for a later date. The cogs on the other hand are in quite a bad way with many of the teeth broken. It seems that part is very hard to obtain and I have drawn a blank....

Re: Aristocrat Starlite - won’t payout

Thank you all so much. I have managed to realign them. Fortunately the wheel has 2 low payouts right next to each other and so I was able to match this with the position of the holes on the side piece and even better have managed to get a small payout - even with my slides still in rough condition. ...

Re: Aristocrat Starlite - won’t payout

Thank you for your very helpful posts - I really do appreciate them. The brake levers appear straight. When I line up the areas that you marked A it is clear to me that the left nylon cog wheel is out of alignment with the other 2 ( the pictures on the wheel are also not aligned) So my query now is ...

Re: Aristocrat Starlite - won’t payout

I thought I should post a couple more photos as I think my primary problem is the alignment of the discs on the end which the fingers go in to. It seems the LH wheel (RH disc) is out of alignment with the other 2 so a winning alignment can’t happen as the fingers can’t poke through the 3 discs as th...

Re: Aristocrat Starlite - won’t payout

Thank you for your help. I now understand why it was so stiff. I have taken some photos. I will go through the link and come back once I have sorted the slides. They clearly need a good clean and polish and some springs. The timing appears to work ok and I have just successfully managed to make it g...

Re: Aristocrat Starlite - won’t payout

I’ve managed to take it apart and there are a number of missing springs. However the very bottom slide spring was intact and I would have expected some movement in that one but it takes more force than I would expect to move the lever which has to move to the side in order to release it. I’ve taken ...

Aristocrat Starlite - won’t payout

Hello This is my first ever machine and I fear I may have been duped. It was sold as working but it doesn’t look like it will pay out. It is full of coins and to be honest I am not sure where to start. Does the bit in the photo look broken to you? The wheels turn when a coin is added and as the coin...

Hello and thanks for adding me

Thanks for letting me join.
I have recently acquired my first ever slot - an Aristocrat Starlite. It needs some work and some parts from the looks of it. Any suggestions as to good places to start would be very welcome
