I have a NLG member friend that asked me if I knew anything about hooking up this progressive display to his Bally5500.
Of course, being me, I said send me some pics of the front and back of it and some numbers from the circuit board.
When I uploaded them, I realized I've never seen this particular progressive display before.  :72-

The numbers  :209- on the circuit board white label are:
"E-205544 REV.A   18/01   V    B23310"

Does anyone have an idea how this display gets hooked up to a Bally 5500?  :129-
Also, he has a fixed Jackpot insert of $500, so he just wants it to display "$500".  :89-

Attached below are the pictures I received from him.
Click on any of the photos to enlarge if needed.  :284- >>>

I thought at 1st he was talking about a Mikohn display but this one appears to be a Bally-specific part really...
I'm NOT really a Bally guy!  :96-  :7-
I'm wondering if this display plugs directly into the backplane via a longer harness
or would it require a separate driver board?  :128-
Any help on this progressive unit would be very appreciative....!!  :133-
A couple more pics you can click on to enlarge if you need to...>>>

For some reason that looks familiar. I think it was for a Bally, but Sorry I can't help.

Ford, that is the display that you gave me! Bunker, thanks for posting this. If we can't get it to go, maybe I will buy one of those displays from Flea-bay that you can display any message on and install that in the window of the glass. Like I said, a progressive is not needed here, just a fixed amount. I know that Rudy's has a whole Blazing 7's kit with the display and controller but that is overkill (where the heck was that kit when I needed it 2 months ago) (rethorically wondering aloud)

I was sure that was the one.

Gee... Fordsbs!? Did you happen to notice the "Title" of this thread?
THAT would be a great clue!  :97-

You're right Reho...those cheap 9.99 ebay displays I got for mine would do the job you want
and it won't be so "Overkill"

Nobody likes a smart ass. You know where I was coming from !!!!

I know...I was just pulling yer leg... :200-  :114-

I was always the smart assed  :265- kid in school...people don't change... :96-

No problem

bunker Didn't you end up with all that Bally junk I sent R273 a couple of years ago ?? I still have a bunch of it left, that your welcome to.

I have some but I can't remember where it came from.  :103-  :72-
ANYways, I'm kinda leaning to the idea that reho's display needs to get hooked up with
some sort of a driver board...but I really don't know
as none of my Bally documentation shows this in detail.
