got a bally 5500. plays games. the top circuit breaker( 5 A) pops. there are no button lights or top fluorescent. also, bill accept doesnt work but does cycle. what does the top 5 amp breaker protect? is there a schematic available?
thanks

Mike, probably the 7.5 vac breaker, should have a yellow and green wire on it coming from the transformer. unplug J-14 from the backplane , reset the breaker if it does not pop, the you have a button lighting problem. if it does pop, then continue unplugging from the backplane until it doesn't pop then we will know what to check out.

unplugging j-14 stopped the breaker popping. the breaker also has some kind of feed to the dbv-45 bill unit, it now lights up, but red. i looked closely at the harness, didnt see any wear marks near the door. its has a pretty good plastic armor.
are the button lights DC , and what voltage? i am assuming the feed is common, and the mpu grounds the lights to light them. whats the best way to isolate the problem? should i just tear into the bundle and do a physical check?
thanks

The voltage going to the lamps is 7.5vac NOT DC. PIN 3 goes to the coin accept lamp, insert coin and denom. lamp. Blue wire. Pin 18 Bl/BK wire, goes to change,collect, spin, bet 1, bet max lamps, spare light plug, BV led board.
inspect those two wires, look for a short to the cabinet. or unhook each lamp series and see which one is the problem, then unhook each one until you find the defect.
