Hello all,
I have a Ballys s5500 with a XS1200 hopper recently acquired. Noticed when I went to cash out 25 credits that the hopper wheel was turning very slow and took a minute or so to pay out. I went to the hopper test settings and did it 5 times. It only payed out 10 coins twice and was turning very slow. The other payouts were 7,9,8.It then went in reverse all by itself. Then I saw a little smoke coming off the board. I shut it down immediately. I took the hopper out disassembled it to where I could turn the plate by hand. It does not turn freely at all. Wondering if it's the motor or the gearbox. If I did bench test the motor could somebody please help me with what voltage this model requires. Thanks you for any help
