Title: Bally 5000 plus manuals and boards
Post by: slot collector on July 12, 2013, 11:20:54 AM
   Hello, my name is Scott and I am from Glendale, Az. I am a newbee in the collecting and fixing of slot machines. I just picked up a couple of Bally 5000 plus slot machines that I think are complete minus the boards that slide into the tray and the locking doors that hold them in. A buddy of mine that owns a gaming store also gave me a complete Gold Rush that I can compare them too to see if anything else is missing. What I am really looking for is manuals for these and parts. I have checked all the slot businesses in town here and nobody has any parts for these. I am new at this, so be gentle, I am open to learning and any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks :99-

Hi and  :238-

Not sure if you found a manual yet, but thought I would let you know there are some 5000 Plus documents in the Download Section (upper right side of home page, blue button NLG System Downloads). Here's a link:

Also, RudysDeals has a free download of an Operators Manual...For the boards, post a WTB (Want to Buy) in the NLG Classifieds section and maybe another member can help you out.  :89-

Well, stick around and we will help you fill that empty space up! It's great you are wanting to learn!  :89-

So many come here and just want an answer, and don't care about the reason/logic behind it. Once you become familiar with the basics of the machines and how they operate, it is much easier to diagnose/troubleshoot. At first the posts and manuals will be like reading a foreign language, then as you learn, you start to understand.

  CV slots, thankyou for the encouragement. I raced dirt track stock cars for years and the last couple of years since I decided to do something else, I have started collecting. It had nothing to do with my age or anything.  :208-It doesn't hurt living five hours from Las Vegas either. I am still making the connections there and once I do, the sky is the limit. I have a few already. Now that I am slowly figuring this sight out and how it works. I am by no means computer savy. Well, thankyou again and look forward to future conversations. Now I need to figure out how to post a picture of a Bally 5000 plus speaker that I have for another member of ours. Thankyou again
