Hello,

I just bought a Bally Pro S6000  Blazing 7's machine, and it had a top led display for the progressive jackpot. There is no wires running to the board, can I get this working??

Thanks.

Joe...

It depends on what kind of display it is.

if it is a Mikohn then you likely need a ChamII+ board.

Can you post a picture of the back of it.

maddog, I deleted your duplicate thread since Jay has already responded to your question on this one. I second his suggestion that you post some pictures.

Hello,

I took the LED out and the model# is ( MIKOHN Inc. CHAM2 12 CELL MINI REV. A #321-007-60) I have no cables or any thing that connects to this LED display. I thanks you for any help you can give me.

Joe...

You need a ChamII+ board.
You can get these usually from Leeman Slot Sales - Contact April from the main page with the banners.

What you probably had in your machine was a ChamII (non plus) which is just a display driver run off of a CON2 link controller.
The CON2 links 32+ machines together into a progressive. This was likely stripped when they shopped out your machine. Either that or the casino kept it to be used in other machines.

The chamII+ is a standalone progressive designed for 1 machine.

In addition to the ChamII+ you will need a Rs232 serial cable to go between your PC and  the ChamII+ and a copy of the PSP software to program it.
PSP is a DOS program - XP usually works if you have a real serial port - You have very little hope with Vista.
Win 98 on a old PC is ideal.

Hello,

I have e-mailed April, thanks for all the info.. I will let you know how I make out :)

Thanks...

Joe...

Hello,

Jay this is what April said I needed, I bought it today from her. Is this what you told me about.... What else do I need after I receive this stuff ???? I hope this is the right thing lol  :25-

Thanks.

you need a display!

Hello,

This is the display I have.

Thanks.

Joe....

There's two 14-pin plugs on the back of that display labeled J1 and P1 I believe.
If you are patient enough, tomorow I will see exactly how mine is hooked up and
I will take some detailed photos for you as far hooking them up.
For the life of me, I cannot remember if that display needs a "piggyback" board or not.
Some one may charm in tonight and help ya...if not,
I'll have a lot more information for you tomorrow from my other computer.
I think we're going to have to make an additional small harness for you so your meters can get information from the machine.
And a serial harness for the connection between the logic board and your computer.
It's not that hard to do. You'll need a pair of pliers. I'll make a pictorial showing you how to make the harness.
I'll try and get the numbers on the parts you'll and a place for you to get the parts from.
It looks like you have bought the power supply wire, the wires that go to the logic board, and the meters ribbon cable.
More info tomorrow...

I think you need a con1 for that logic board that's on top of your power supply...
I'm not sure if it "talks" to a computer via a serial cable?
Can some one verify that?

That is a LED5 (Cham 1). To drive this you need a CON1 controller.
Aprils Text Reads as this being a "linker" which requires the Link Controller to drive it.
In fact LED means Link Extension Device.

I had suggested you should get a ChamII+ (note the +) which is a standalone progressive controller.
The ChamII (no +) is also a linker and requires a CON2 controller

Con2s are about 3x as expensive as a Con1.

Maddog,
You better get on the horn and see if Aprils got a con1...
if not, put out an ad in the NLG "classified" section on top, I'm SURE SOMEBODYS got one to spare...

I should also point out that the display you have is just 1/2 of the display hardware AND it's the 1/2 you need to work with a ChamII+ (which is a good thing).  The LED board you have is for a chamI series 20 pin style interface.
Here are pictures to illustrate.

1. What you have
2. Daughtercard needed to complete setup
3. Daughtercard other side
4. What it looks like assembled
5. The earlier 20 pin interface
6. Cham II+ complete with circuit board mounted on top of a Power Supply and the cabling.  Notice it uses the newer style 10 pin connector, it has two of them.  1 on each side.  But you only use the one on the left.

continuing with pics

last pictures.

On the complete ChamII Plus photo, you will notice the number of red and green leds.  There are a total of 9 leds, 5 reds and 4 greens.  There's a similar ChamII (not the Plus) board, which is not typically a stand-alone controller that only has 2 greeen and 2 red leds.  I say typically because we have seen proof of at least 1 ChamII stand-alone controller, but only 1 documented that we have seen.  So to be sure, I would recommend that you find yourself a ChamII Plus, like the one pictured here.

Hello,

Guy's I can not thank you enough for all your help :89-

I talked to April today and she will refund my money for the other stuff.

My question now is.....

April does not have what I need.

#1  Does any one have the parts I need for sale ???

#2 Does any one know where to get them ?????

 :99-

Thank you again for all the help...

Joe..

I know Foster had some ChamII+'s last year...maybe he'd be willing to sell you one of his?
Give him a email or PM and see what he's doing with it?

I Have a Setup that came out of a working Bally S6000 that I am willing to sell.
It says CSTLR  STND ALONE.
See pics below.
The meter is the same as the one that Rick pictured above with the piggyback board ( Display3.jpg & Daughtercard2.jpg ).
Thanks,
Eric

You're da man E! :131- I hope maddog sees it! :89-

Hey, small world, it's good to have another Canadian here.  If you want another progressive machine, I have some nice ones with deluxe sound and top box speakers that include the progressive controllers.  I'm a short drive away.

Thanks,
Wayne

Hello,

Wayne I am looking for another Machine, maybe I can drop by and check out what you have ?

Thanks.

Joe..

P.S. I can make it out tonight, if that's good for you ?

Hello,

I am up for that, sounds like a long weekend at Wayne's. All I know is we are going to need BEER  :136-

Joe..

Beer sounds great, come over when you're ready.

Thanks,
Wayne

Hello,

Would any one know how I could get a copy of a Bally pro6000 manual ? I could not thank you enough if you had one...

Thanks.

Joe...

P.S. Cable made and ready for LED Setup  :103-    :97-

Hi guys,

I have cleared the led displays off and got the C1 error to go away, the progressive is still not going up. It sits at $75.00 and does not move. What could it be, maybe I don't have the setting on the slot machine turned on for progressive. Does any one know how to turn this option on (Bally ProS6000). I don't know what the problem is now, maybe my settings on the PSP software are wrong ?? If you guys have any ideas I would be very happy to try them all.

Thanks.

Joe..

I know, where it is possible to buy inexpensive in comparison with others  light-emitting diode screens  (http://www.ldm-group.ru).

ok....But does it work with Mikohn and Bally progressive boards?
What language is that in?
