Title: Bally EM service manual, 1964 to 1980
Post by: MarkInAz on May 18, 2009, 05:49:03 AM
Greetings once again gents-

I found a sneak peak into this manual on-line but not the whole manual.  I think it has info on those old Double Progressive jackpots.

Any chance someone could help me out?   :89-

I'm still hoping a copy of this turns up, even a b&w photo copy would be greatly appreciated by myself (and other members surly)  :89-  Feel free to drop me a PM or email if necessary.

Hey MarkInAz,

The reference in book is for progressive features for model's 785, 789, 889, 922, & 952. Basic schematic information, photo's of 3 and 5 line progressive units, limited parts pages for some of the models and progressive system circut information. Don't know if that helps. What model?

Richard

Thanks Richard,

I don't know if my type of progressive was added to any E.M. machines, I guess they could have by the late 70's.   I'm having a hard time finding ANY info on these electo-magnetic progressive displays, except for a brief paragraph in the 80-86 Bally Manual.  There are lots out there on Bally machines for sale, most are not working though, probably due to the lack of technical data.  There seems to be two types, one is paralleled off the 8-bit (?) MPU data buss and another type is a standalone uP controlled unit that counts coin-in pulses from (any) machine.   But like I said, I cant find any useful info on either.  I'm hopeful the EM manual has something.

Its an E-1000 series, a E-1236-5 to be exact.  I've mentioned it in these other threads.

Hey Mark?
Get a hold of "Foxxslots" and send him a PM ...he's got a lot of info on the older Ballys!
