Yep`…I want to Win more too`

 

Pat Reese

 

United South Seas. So, this is the reflex unit. I hope I understand correctly but this has something to do with handing out the different bonus items to win more such as lighting the extras and adding in the adjustable lit holes. I'm just not happy with how much I get to light up these features I want to WIN more often! With less pushes of the coin button. Can someone please explain to me how this works and what EXACTLY I have to do to it to make it give me more features. Please talk to me like I'm stupid, because regarding this I am. I did notice that there are two little coil units the step move the wipers VERY SLOWLY.. the top coil if I manually operate it it, very slowly moves the wiper clockwise. I have not verified that it's working as it should with the coin up .. Thanks for any help, Pat

It’s Friday afternoon. I’ve had too many beers to explain it coherently. But there are some great people on this site, that can explain it better than me, buzzed or sober!! 😁 Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Yep , it will tighten up when you win more . If you want to reset to easy setting then you will get features easier and scores will go up easier too .

If you want to keep it from tightening up after you adjust, unsolder the wire to the coil - with power off or cut it. Label it so you remember down the road. Didn’t some machines have more than one reflex units?

Bingos just have one .

Reflex unit: designed to step up or down based on wins/losses. The more you win, the more it steps up and makes fingers move OFF rivets, thus having less “made” circuits to win through. As you lose, it slowly steps back to help you win a little. Basically, it’s designed to keep you interested as a player, yet hard enough to be profitable for the owner. A fine balance. I always manually move the fingers around to where the fingers touch the MOST rivets. Then I cut the trigger wires for each coil. Thus keeping the reflex unit in the easiest position. IMPORTANT: Be sure it’s the TRIGGER WIRES and not the other side of the coil. This is a 50V circuit and if the coil wires opposite the trigger wires are clipped, the game will not function properly

On my machines, I advance the reflex unit high and disconnect both coils, so it stays that way. This allows scores and features to happen more often.

If you hold in on the relay and spin the wheel either you other hand counterclockwise, it should loosen up and give you features more quickly

Also, the gears can be rotated manually by pulling in the coil locking actuator and rotating the gears till the fingers move to the most rivets. Manual shows the reflex unit at the zero position/ easiest position

....the United Bingos also have Tap Switch Adjustments to control features like how Loose the Extra Balls are - etc - email me and I'll send you some detail - bingopinballs@yahoo

If you contact Jeffery Lawton Sr he can tell you how to reset and leave it that way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love Sebastian’s first comment there`…Along with Pat’s also made me smile`

 

 

It is not wildly known, but a few of the 20-holes games like Bonus 7 have (2) Reflex units`

 

(The second located in the lower cabinets)

 

 

Equally interesting, most of the early United’s like Rio do not have a Reflex

 

(Maybe all the pre-1954)
