Title: Bally 5000+ - What's missing on my machine? Post by: Wallgames on March 22, 2013, 05:08:45 PM I recently bought a non-working Bally 5000+ "Cold Cash" slot machine. Initially, there was no power. The award glass is missing, and the previous owner's kids must have used the opening to drop various items onto the I/O board from above. Disassembling the machine to clean it, I found a door hinge pin (like you might find holding the front door to its frame on your home) shorting between the I/O board and the frame. I replaced the first and third fuse (5 amp), and powered it up.
The fluorescent lamps light, but the two LEDs on the MPU board flash continuously, about once per second. I am hampered by the missing LED display, and cannot therefore determine an error code. My questions are: 1. What items are missing? Is there also a bracket to support the LED display? Does anyone have a photograph of this area? 2. I assume it can operate without the LED display. The MPU board has EPROMs in the U12 and U15 sockets, and a daughterboard which plugs into the U20 and U18 sockets. The daughterboard has 4 more EPROMs, which are labelled U4, U20, U3 and U18. Is there a special method for clearing RAM for this type of MPU board? The EPROMs are as follows: U12 - ME600000-2-1 03/20/89 27C512 U15 - ME600000-2-0 03/20/89 27C512 Daughterboard: U3 - SE6A0000000-2-3 03/20/89 27C512 U4 - SE6A0000000-2-2 03/20/89 27C512 U18 - E070011X-05 08-16-91 27C256 U20 - E070011X-05 08-16-91 27C256 Thank you for any help you can provide! -Bob Carroll Title: Re: Bally 5000+ - What's missing on my machine?

I bought a parts complete Bally V5500 for $30 Title: Re: Bally 5000+ - What's missing on my machine? Post by: Wallgames on March 22, 2013, 08:30:39 PM Close to free I hope. I bought a parts complete Bally V5500 for $30 Good buy. Did you part it out or repair it? I have a weakness for wanting to repair basket cases. Title: Re: Bally 5000+ - What's missing on my machine? Post by: proten on March 23, 2013, 12:29:06 AM I repaired it, put a battery on the board and
did a ram clear and it was up and running. I've repaired some of the draw/hold buttons, but was worth every dollar. I've only parted out one machine - a Summit.

Thanks for providing the photograph. -BC Title: Re: Bally 5000+ - What's missing on my machine? Post by: retroelectro on April 06, 2013, 06:23:07 PM 1. There seems to be a plastic frame attached to the glass with double sided tape. And LED PCB is attached to this frame with four screws.
2. Seems that the game doesn't start without display. I disconnected my display and powered up the game. The two LEDs on CPU just started to blink once per second just like yours. I didn't pull out the PCB but it looks like there's just two IC's and the 7-segments. Maybe there's a way to fool CPU to think that the display is there?

Maybe there's a way to fool CPU to think that the display is there? This is extraordinarily useful information. Thank you as well for the photograph. Now I can see what I'm looking for. Thanks very much! -Bob Carroll |
