Post by: junkman on December 26, 2010, 02:24:02 PM
I bought 3 bally 5000 plus machines last week . im new to this type of machine and want to get it going its bally 5000 plus model s63-34t-00 the problem im having is when i turn it on the flourecent lights come on and thats it . i checked the three main fuses and all good . does the power supply in the lower right hand corner of the machine have a fuse inside the black case? and is it better to have the supply repaired or buy a new one and how much do they normally cost. when i got the machine the guy had a box of boards for them most are mother boards .how much do the card rack boards cost. and do you have to have a sound card to mak the machine work. thanks for any info. on this machine . and if anyone knows of a good dealer to get parts from please let me know

whoa nellie! Hold your water!
Let's get the machine running first before you
start worrying about MPU boards and sound cards.
After all, what good are they - if the machine doesn't run?  :129-

Using a multimeter, what voltage readings are coming out of the power supply?
Do you know how to use one?

I traded out the power supply from another machine and it powerd up with 82 in win window didn't have that before. Tried removing the board with ribon to reset want reset does it have to have a good battery. I did get it to spin with the door open I would hit the red button on the inside of the door and it would put credit on but woud only spin with button not handle. When I hold the door button in it clicks on the inside of the door like it is paying out a jackpot and want stop when I let out on the door button it stops and shows 45 and 52 in win window. And with the power opn the buttons don't light up. Thanks terry
