Need help hooking up a Bally slot topper

[bobbynelson]

I have a Bally slot topper that I can't figure out how to hookup. The main lights are not a problem V120 but the chaser lights has been a puzzling project. The chaser lights have six wires. The solid wire colors are: red, blue, orange, white with two green with yellow strip wires that appears to be the ground since they are bolted to a metal plate. The chaser board has a Bally part number of AS3356-592 on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome aboard.  You may want to fill out your profile so people know where you're from. No email makes it hard to send anything also.  The board takes +14 volts and has the three connectors J1 J2 J3 (by schematic).  Each connector is as follows:
pin1= circuit1
pin2= circuit2
pin3 = circuit3
pin4= +14
pin5= ground
pin6= ground  (pin 5 and 6 join)

I will take a look to see the wire colours.  Must be a generic oval topper

Thanks,
Wayne

Thanks Wayne

I just updated my email and profile. Trying to get a hang of things here.

You are correct its an oval topper. If I understand correctly, do I hookup a +14 DC to pin4 and the ground to pin5 or pin6? What do I do with pin1-pin3?

Thanks again
Bobby

Happy 4th of July everyone...

I understand the wiring specs now. Does anyone know where I can get a control board that makes the lights around the topper perform different light patterns? Thanks for your help in advance.

Wow, that's a bummer, I thought the Bally ovals would have the chaser controller built in. Bobbynelson, check the thread for the Garfield topper, some members are using contoller boards from Ebay to get those to chase. Good Luck!

Thanks Tacman, I will check that thread out.

if anybody is interested in controllers used in bally and igt toppers. i contacted a company in nevada that made or makes some of the controllers and they still have a variety of stuff that can be used in the controller area. if this is something that would be of interest to others i can put the info out there. i did somewhere else and cant even find it now myself. so let me know if there is more interest in contacting this supplier still in business.  the controller i discussed with them was around 40 dollars. prices are two catagory. consumer and business, better if business repair or sales.

Is this the post ?

i think those go to a 12 to 24 vac only controller. the controller uses a 110v ac input to 12-24 v ac output ac adapter with output wires connected  to the controller power in providing the chaser light power to the chaser controller unit or board. The controller also will have 3 chaser circuit wires - red, orange, blue for the 'hots' and white as the 'common' to all three circuits. The controller either through a manual reostat type switch then allows you to slow or  speed up the chase lights allowing you to set the speed to whatever you want. The controller I use with these toppers is a little black box  with the controller circuit board inside along with a 3 amp fuse. this device is/was made by high sierra lighting company. sparks NV 89431. their number is 1800 472 2742. i called them and they still make this 3 circuit controller and it is used on both bally and igt toppers as oem stuff. i spoke with product specialist jessica madden she said they have a website but its outdated best to call them and ask for her. she is knowledgeable on their products. she said pricing is based on quantities 1-5 41.95 for each of these, after 5 is 35.10. i went on to tell her about NLG and its purpose and would it be okay to send people to her. she said yes, no problem. the only other pricing difference is if you are an end user you pay a little more, but if you are a reseller then the prices i mentioned are  valid. So alot of the info i just gave is for everyone to take notice who has toppers with chase problems, including the guy who wants different chase patterns than he has now. He should  call them and see what they can do for him. I am waiting on reply back about schematic info details and will followup in a couple of days. So there is  what I think you need to get chasers going but you might want to call and maybe they have a list of machines that will work with that topper or that topper in a list showing which it takes. Because although I believe your chaser wires to be this type at the same time i CANT say 100 percent that it still might not be a dc chaser controller at 5 volts. It would depend on your chaser circuit board components.  call them and see if they can help you find out which it is.
i hope that makes  sense and hope everyone reads this to get chaser board or controllers  and other lighting devices they might have of use.
good luck
