Title: Machine identification and info
Post by: andy112 on October 18, 2011, 09:35:19 PM
Hello everyone and got too say, what a friendly looking forum :D

I was wondering if someone could help me identify these 2 slots.

I'm interested in purchasing them, they're in need of repair. Described as 2 light up but dont do much else, 1 dead and 1 without a power cable. (2 of each machine). I have some knowledge of repairing electrical and mechanical items but slots would be new grounds. Its somthing im quite enthusiastic about and would like to give a go. The financial risk isnt really much its just the hassel of getting them.

Was just looking for opinions on these machines, know their models, particly bad to repair? any advice would be gratefully received.

Cheers,

Andy.

Both of them are Bally 5000's
They also made these as a video product. The down side to those machines is the power supplies. They are notorious for failure.
I have a video machine that someone had changed the power supply to a standard off the shelf model and it has always worked good for me.

Personally I wouldn't spend more that $50.00 for each non-working machine.

Thanks :) well each machine would cost me £20 (i live in the UK) so ~$30 but delivery will cost a bout £120 ~$190. What sort of price would i be looking at for a psu? Also anyone have a pdf covering these machines. Sorry to bombard with questions :D i'm still debating on making the purchase lol
Out of interest, many other uk guys on here?
