Hello All,

I finally had a rainy weekend to pull my e-series out in an attempt to get it rec-room ready, but a couple of mechanical issues are holding it up.  I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with the manual.

Thanks!

   I have a 1981 (something?) i think its a e series it has 2 boards!   

[drfreeze1739]

If it is a Bally's machine with 2 boards one on the back wall ans one on the side wall it is a E Series...

[tucsondirect]

Could I please get a copy of that manual?

I just bought a Bally 1213 slot machine and it drops the coin straight through and the display is showing 710000

"The 71 means the position reader on the
1st reel is not able to obtain a consistent
reading. 72 means 2nd reel is
at fault; 73, 3rd reel; 74, 4th reel;
75, 5th reel. If the reel in question
is' properly indexed, then this tilt
indicates the reel has been moved since
it was indexed. (This test is not performed
in SOS (-1) program versions.)
If the reel is not indexed, the cause
for this malfunction is most likely
mechanical. Self-test #2 (see page 7)
may be used to verify the operation of
the index coil. After the cause has
been found and corrected, press the
RESET button followed by depressing the
TEST button once."

Thank you.  I will check it out.

where are you getting these error codes from?  reel errors are 4x numbers (41 42 43)  71 is door opened last.

The led display in the upper right of the face plate.  Somehow miraculously it started working. I think some of the card connectors are tarnished. It hasn't been used in years. I think I will disassemble the game and clean all the connectors and switches.
The key on the bottom right side of the machine I'm guessing should be turned to where it is not depressinf the switch. Not really sure what the key is for. Don't have a manual for this machine. Tryinng to figure everything out on my own. Slow process.

The key and switch are for restating the machine after the jackpots been hit.

If the machine is working I wouldnt mess around!

Oops assumed that OP was posting in the right area for his machine

Where can I find Manual and schematics for a Bally E Series (E-831-4).  Battery leak damage fixed.... board (AS 2978-3) is dead, processor has running activity, clock circuit running. +5 volts is 4.8.  Display has a "4" on the left 7 segment LED.  Would love to know more about this game before I sell it for scrap metal.

Here are the codes
A code "4" is a ram problem

[Videorepair]

Thanks for the codes!  Much appreciated.  I really need a service manual and schematics.  Willing to pay or trade, I have hundreds of pinball and video game original manuals.  Getting more into slots these days due to demand. 

Thanks again!

[Techman]

I could use a copy of that manual also please.
I am looking for this piece used to slow down the handle upon release.

[Amachanic]

Are you missing the air cylinder? Your not going to find one with a good rubber cup on the piston. They turn to a tar like substance. You then just clean them and use a small amout of grease inside. I have seen some people try to make their own new seal, but I tried and had not success, so I just clean and grease. You just can't let the handle snap back any more.

[Techman]

Thats the problem I have. The rubber has melted. I cleaned the tube and cylinder but now it slaps back. I will try greasing it possibly with a heavy grease.
Thanks for the post.

Don't use too much grease or you will have a mess inside the machine. I have just gotten use to holding onto the handle till it's back in position.

Well, it gets worse...  while archiving the eproms I found one that walks.  So I need the checksums and hopefully the binary data for the following:

Bally 3 line "777" 1000 coin jackpot

All 2716's
E-831        - M7/U11
E-755-14   - M3/U15
E-755-13   - M2/U16
E-755-12   - M1/U17    (bad chip - unstable (walking) signature)

Getting closer to the scrap yard!

Check with Barry (Foxsslots) he is the Bally man and
probably has the chips you need.
