Title: Bally S9000: How to open all the doors?
Post by: Thanks A Slot on April 09, 2020, 12:13:00 AM
Hi everyone! :)


I was wondering if there might be a video out there or some detailed pictures of how to open not just the bottom door, but also the reels door (for access and changing the strips) and the top door (for LCD and maybe changing the game logo glass). I simply cannot figure it out. I have a Bally S9000, the kind with five spinning reels on the bottom and a top LCD 20 inch display.


I would truly appreciate any help you can provide.


Thanks,


Michael

Open same as other door, insert key and turn.  If no lock, just pull them open from right side.

I don't think that you can open the top door and the middle door at the same time on my cabinet.
They interfere with each other...

You can remove the top door by removing all the wires, the door will lift off the hinges.
It might be easier to loosen the cabinet side of the hinges, 4 bolts on my cabinets...

I tried pulling from the right side and that didn't work. There are no locks anywhere, just the menu access key.
For "removing all the wires" for the top door...I cannot get to those wires without opening the door. Can someone please provide a step by step instructions or a video link?
I can't access anything above the bottom door. Thanks!

Pull harder!! You might have to use a flathead screwdriver to get them started if they are that tight.  Don't damage your cabinet.

I guess I should clarify you need to first get the door open before you can remove it from the cabinet...

My top door is tight when closed. It can be difficult to get open.
If there is no lock it should open from the right side unless someone found a way to secure it shut...

I found a screw above where the lock would be (see attachment) is this the culprit? Should I remove that before opening the door?

My guess is that might be their lock replacement...
I do not have that on my cabinet...

The screw does not belong there. Remove it and you will be able to open the top.

Use lockpicking tools to unlock all the doors of the home and if you are not able to do it then hire a locksmith (https://www.locksmith-boston.com/) for that work.

An auto locksmith (https://g.page/AioLargo?) can make S900 key but they charge a little extra for their service.
