Bally E-series error code "5"

[deanwaters]

Greetings.  It's been awhile since I've posted to this AMAZING forum.  Glad to be back again!

I have a Bally E-Series, 5-reel that's gone on the fritz.  When I power it up, the machine goes into TILT mode and gives me a "5" in the payout display in the first (left-most) digit position.  It may be trying to give me an error code of "50" as the 2nd digit position will have a "0" that sometimes flickers.  Hard to tell.  The hopper will also turn just enough to pay out one coin.  Pressing the reset button doesn't do anything.  Quite sad as this is a super fun machine.  I'd love to bring it back to life.

The machine is a 5-reel, 3-coin, 3-payline machine.  One of the very first e-series as far as I know.  Here's hoping someone can give me some advice....  I can up load pics if desired.

Hi, and greetings.
You might have more luck on the Bally Reels board, where they talk about the electronic Ballys.  I'm only good on the mechanical end of that....
