Well I got the 3 way ribbon cable in today from K-Lar out in Las Vegas and installed it but I am still not getting any sounds when I drop a coin or upon a winning combination. Now it could be that I may not have each ribbon cable inserted in the proper direction as far as where the red stripe on them must be located when plugged into the I/O board and the 2 boards in the top box ( the small I/O and the sound board) Now I can still press the test button on the sound board and hear all of the sound check sounds, so is there a setting, possibly through the dip switches on the MPU board I need to have set in order to obtain sound? And on another note, the credit meter will not display how many credits I have earned. I will include pics again of the front of the machine and of the sound board and the small I/O board in the top box area.

I do remember seeing something in the repair manual about dip switch settings. If I remember right it had something to do with the #1 switch setting. In one dirrection you have coin sound and the other direction you didn't.  I'm not 100% sure it's switch 1, but I know it worked because I tried it out in my Continental and it shut the coin in bell off as well as the payoff. I didn't like off, so I turned it back on.

This particular machine does not have a bell in it like other Bally machines I have seen, just the soundboard. So the soundboard may not have anything to do with the coin in sounds (I may actually need to install a bell for that) but I still should be getting sounds on a winning pay. I'm hoping it is something as simple as one or more of the 3 way ribbon cable ends inserted in the wrong direction, hopefully another member here will have a similar machine and can tell me how theirs is set up.
