Hello everyone!

I am new to this site and i really enjoying Arcades, Pinballs, Soda distributors, and now slots machines since im 6 years old, I have few arcades classics that im holding since a long time ago and i really enjoying repairing them, i am not a pro or a qualified technician, but i am a refrigeration technician who love theses little treasures! Everything i know i learned by myself getting infos here and there from everywhere.

Here is my little list of machines im holding since a long time ago reminds me the good old time when i was playing with them in the 80's

- Space Invaders Pinball
- Joust Cocktail Table
- Gottlieb Hot Shots

Now that you know me a little bit more, im asking people who have any information about a slot machine i just got few weeks ago.

Bally Golden Continental model E-1275

I checked everywhere on the web and all i can say it is very hard to find informations, manuals and parts distributors for this machine.

If you have any informations that you want to share with me it will be really appreciated! I speak French and English.

Thank You!

Welcome to NLG, ElCoyote.

One of the guys on here goes by name of Jancsi, he lives in Europe, owns and has worked on a few Bally Continentals. He and others here are familiar with them. Just post what it is doing or not doing, and often pictures are very helpful for people to get an idea of what the problem could be so don't be shy about adding photos to your postings.

Here is a recent thread about a Bally Golden Continental E-1275 he has.

What's the problem with your machine?
I have one Golden Continental.

Nothing work when I turn it on, just few lamps inside cabinet, sometimes it show 00 inside credit panel, I can ear sounds if I press the test button then I have to turn it off because it stay stuck on on a loop at last sound.

Checked every contacts, plugs to see if some pins are darkened, removed all chips from board to clean every single pins on them and everything is nice and clean, I am waiting on my 3.6v battery, the old one has leaked and caused some little damage on the board but noting serious.

All fuses are okay and they correspond to what it should be, maybe it is a power supply failure or ram, 5101 Cmos chip are very sensitive to ESD or they burn frequently, there is no hopper on that machine at that time it was illegal in Canada.

Have a good day!

Haha! No... Sorry if my English is a little bad, I was trying to say I started playing arcade games at 6 years old, using a wooden crate of Coke to climb on it to play them. Im now 42 and still a gamer!

Thats quite ok my friend .... I played my first coin op at the same age in a country store and it was a penny slot gumball vender. Also standing on a case of soda so I could reach it.

On the door inside in machine has small red digital display.

This machine is written to the error codes to this small display and when you push test button test steps and Audit value too.
In my machine isn't hopper too, but it's original the factory state,
It says the manual too.

jancsi · « **Reply #10 on:** July 14, 2015, 11:42:48 AM »

Push and hold bottom Display button to write error code to internal display.

ElCoyote · « **Reply #11 on:** July 22, 2015, 01:23:55 PM »

There is 3 button on the right side of the machine: "Test", "Reset" and "Display" nothing happens when i press and hold them... the only sound i can get is when i press the TEST button on the sound card, it does few sound and stay stuck on the last one "Loop" sound like an alarm failure sound.

Credit and Coin staked sometimes does not lit when i power on the machine, i need to power on/off few time and it show 0, clicking the micro-switch credit does nothing, no credit count. Also there is 2 optical reader that light up everytime i turn on the machine for 5 seconds on the reels 2 and 4, 1 and 3 does not lit at all.

Here is the code i get on the display, looks like something wrong with U5, but is it a valid code? I have no idea.

jancsi · « **Reply #12 on:** July 22, 2015, 02:12:59 PM »

That's not valid eror code.

I Think it's Power Supply or Cpu problem, maybe Ram problem.

Power Supply voltages are ok? 5V and 10-11V?

My machine has E-2000-cpu board.
Your machine has also too E-2000 Cpu board:?
Try pull 2 ram chips and eproms and reseat it into socket.

My reel readers lamp light only , when I put credit into machine. (when no credit not light)

Check also small bulbs and big resistor on reel reader boards, lamps are serial, one bad not light another bulbs,

jancsi · « **Reply #13 on:** July 22, 2015, 02:26:39 PM »

4 reel readers lamps 50V are paralel (on reel reader board serial 5 bulbs and big resistor ) 50V signal come from reel mech control board 15 and from J1 27 on IO board..

All reel readers must be light up at same time,

ElCoyote · « **Reply #14 on:** July 23, 2015, 12:11:05 PM »

Here is more pictures of boards installed, Cant be certain if thoses board come from a E2000 model.

I have removed old battery and put the new one inside a battery holder, checked on P.S.U board and i got 5v DC, but i have no idea where to check other voltages like 10v and 11v
There is a 5101 CMOS ram with a pin that have been repaired, someone has soldered the broken pin back on it. (See picture). I have removed every chip that are installed on a rack, pulled them and used a sand cloth to clean pins on them (Did that 2 times) to be sure there is no bad connection due to corrosion.

If i can check all voltage, i will be able to focus on something else, but i need to know where to check.

jancsi · « **Reply #15 on:** July 23, 2015, 01:25:31 PM »

This CPU is E2000 cpu board i was original in my machine too.

On Power Supply on the first picture,
There is 4 meesing pont GND +5V ZC (zero crossing) and +UR (10-11V go to cpu and IO panel 7805 -s power source)

ElCoyote · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2015, 10:49:43 AM »

Checked test clips on the PSU board and everything looks fine, TP1 + GND = 5.05v, TP2 + GND = 7.37v, TP4 + GND = 10v

Also checked on I/O board test clips + and - it give me 5.14v here is a picture where test clips are located. I suspect 5101 Ram, because they dont have exactly the same number on them, and one has a repaired broken pin on it, so i ordered new ones.

jancsi · « **Reply #17 on:** July 25, 2015, 11:25:28 AM »

Maybe ram but not sure.

Heve you oscilloscope to check data and address bus and other signal.

On CPU bard hats 2 pc-s 7805. This output voltage ok. 5V.

Pull out 2 ram chip. give always same ram error code on internal small display 1 or 2 ?

By ram failure give error 6 too..

ElCoyote · « **Reply #18 on:** July 25, 2015, 05:11:41 PM »

I do not have an oscilloscope, i hope i will find the problem without it... I have removed all the rust on the bottom of the machine and code is now more weird that ever on the display, i have few more ground to check.

jancsi · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2015, 12:16:13 PM »

When pull out 2 ram chip, give always same ram error code on internal small display 1 or 2 ?
