Title: What would it take to convert a Ballly S5500 from .25 to $1
Post by: tadornb on October 08, 2010, 02:10:50 AM
Hi,

I have a Bally S5500 Wild Roses and want to convert it to be a dollar machine.  I thought it was as easy as a new coin head and hopper parts, but it looks like it is not that easy. 

Can someone tell me what else I need and suggest where I can get the additional parts?

Thanks!

coin head, comparitor(likely), optic block, Hopper parts: shelf wheel, pinwheel and knife.  easy to swap.

Thanks.  It sounds like I am missing the Optic block and some kind of bracket that the coin passes through right under the coin head.  I bought an entire Dollar Hopper (with some kind of special shaker feature) as well as the Coin Head and a Comparitor, so I have those covered.

Any recommendation as to where I might get my hands on these parts?

Thanks again!

I would say you have a better than good chance to just remove the existing optic block.

Think I will send you a PM, my fix for this doesn't meet casino standards. 

Guess this wasn't a S+  but I still have a fix for it    PM sent
