Title: Bally 5500 JCM 145 + 200 problems (ghost in the machine)
Post by: coinop on March 21, 2010, 11:18:39 PM
This slot plays good with coins but will not accept bills. It takes them in test mode and reads them but in game mode I can not even get them past the first set of leds inside the bv. The small pcb was repaced as well as the transport. I have tried both a 145 head and a known working 200. As stated above both will accept bills and confirm them in test mode but will not let allow them to come close to feeding in game miode. The leds inside the bv are lit when the game is taken out of test mode. I had a local tech take a crack at it and we came up empty. I am down to thinking there is a jumper on the mpu to enable the dv??? Any help would be appreciated.

Hay there Coinop,

Did it ever work?
What protocol ID # is listed on the label, not that you can always trust the stickers?
Check out this JCM manual page.

Here is something else, You can check your DIP setting too. See the notice here, you'll need to do a Complete SAFE RAM CLEAR after any changes.
