I've decided to cut my losses on this one, I thought I would have space at home to work on it but that's not going to happen and as it's at safe store I can only power it in the loading bay, the lights go off if the sensors can't see you for 10 seconds.. it's just not on the cards. I could use the cash back too!
Here's a link to the auction I bought it from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bally-Wil...ball-machine-For-Spares-Repairs-/111621458188
I did manage to get all the boards installed as well as the DMD and the game does run ok, though it does come up with "SLAM TILT STUCK ON" or similar message and it seems some buttons are pressing other buttons too so I guess there's a short in the switch matrix wiring or a dead diode. It's not the CPU board as the original seller had the same issue with a different CPU board. Quite annoying as I know I can fix that fairly easily but again, I'd need it at home to do so.
The cab is in fair shape, playfield looks nice just needs a bit of a clean, no damage I can see. The right "police light" plastic was floating around in there and one of the number plastics on the side has come adrift.
It has keys though no front lock or coin mech. It's not tested beyond the wiring issue as while the "SLAM TILT" message is up the game won't start, plus there's only one ball!
I've spent about £900 on this and I know I'm not getting that back, chalk it up to experience.
I'm asking £650 which I think is decent, the boards are worth more than half that alone.
Based in Leigh on Sea, Essex. Could do with it being collected ASAP.
