Good Day All,
This site was recommended to me as the place to turn to for help, so here I am.
Recently picked up a Bally 5000 Plus slot machine, circa 1986 I believe.
Owner was selling it for an estate and knew nothing about it.
I've cleaned it up a bit, found a disconnected harness and connected it. Don't have the reset key but pulled the wires to the reset outthrough the hole (after removing the lock) so I could use it.
I can get it to light and the reels to spin, that's about it.
It spits out various error messages which don't mean much to me (yet).
Hoping someone on here can help.
I've created a short video showing what it's doing right now.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I'm already hooked on messing with them, but have a steep learning curve ahead of me. On the plus side (not to be confused with 5000 plus) I'm a piano tuner-tech and all around handyman.
I also know just enough about electronics and electrical work to be dangerous, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I love a challenge.
Best,
Frank B.
