Title: Bally hopper board needed
Post by: modman on October 24, 2009, 03:05:48 AM
                I am looking for an older hopper board dated 1994 and the part number is AS 3356-244. My machine is an S5500 but I'm not sure what version hopper and hopper board it is the way it came. I tried other hopper boards unlike the one I have and they didn't work. Any help is very appreciated. I hate swapping hoppers between two machines. I have 2 hoppers and only one board, the one board works on both hoppers and both machines so it's just the board I need. Thanks

I bought a spare board a couple of years ago and I can let you have it to get you by. I don't think it was ever installed you can have it for the $15 I paid for it. Just send me a PM with your address. this board is marked Bally Gaming Inc @ 1994 AS-3356-244  REV. C     Buzz

There is a jumper for single optic or dual optic and if you change between the 2 you have to do a ram clear, there was some older software for the 5500 in the 90's I remember that always caused a error code with the dual optics that had to do with timing between the 2 optics so for home use we just changed the jumper, unplugged the second optic and ram cleared it

                      I didn't know about the jumpers for the optics, where is it located? I am trying to buy a board from a member who responded before you which has the exact board I need according to the part number so I thought I would give that a try first. I also need help on the progressive  as well as I sent out the brain box to the person who sold me the machine and has never sent it back to me and only gave me excuses on how his warehouse burnt down and other excuses and this was a period of over 3 years. I just been to busy to pursue it and I just decided to just buy another brain box and try to get it working again.
