We had a similar issue on a machine awhile back...it turned out to be a corrupt Clear chip had been used and the machine was just waiting to be cleared. Pull all of you EPROMs to be certain no legs are bent in or out. Bally chips are a pain in the butt, so take your time. also, while you have the board out, check for any bent pins in the connector plugs.

Dose any one or do you know where i can get a set of clear chips and reset chips for this machine?

i will check the pins on the Rom chips and connector board and let toy lmow.

Not sure who would have your chips? In my opinion the Bally 5000's are a machine to stay away from. Many problems, the power supply's are there main issue. Plus finding good spare part is a task. I've been offed many, but will only take them for scrap, but this is my personal opinion.

Do you know where i can get a power supply for this machine?

or some one that could repair the one i have?

Last time I saw one was on EBay and they were asking an outrageous price..  I don't know of anyone who has parts for these any more. Maybe you will get lucky a find one here, but I would hold my breath...

Here is the Ram clear Procedures I found regrading the Bally 5000+  I had to use the last method for my machine.  Once you clear it, you will need a programming key pad to set the features on it.  You reel board does look like it is in bad shape.  When I sold mine, I gave away and extra one I had.  If you get desperate let me know and I will see if he is willing to sell it.  One more thing.  I had a problem with my main MPU board and sent it out to the slot doctor for repair.  He did a great job and his price was very good.  Good luck with the slot.
