Title: 1993 Bally S5500 (ProSlots 5500?) Upgrades?
Post by: mateo107 on January 22, 2017, 09:36:00 PM
Hi All,


I was wondering, I'd like to add some additional lights (LEDs perhaps?) to this game to upgrade it a bit.  I am going to change out the fluorescence bulbs, thats not a problem.  But I'm wondering how I might go about these items.


1) I can simply add LEDs or other lights, but what I'd really like are blinking lights when the reals are spinning.
   1a) I'd like additional lights to only be triggered during a win / jackpot.
2) Would it be possible to add some music to this machine, during standard play?  I know I could hook up an arduino and just pipe it into the same speakers, but are there any other ways to do this?


So I guess - the ultimate question is not just where should I hook the lights up (i know there's an extra power plug out near the main switch), but really, how to get the lights to ALSO trigger during actions / etc.  Can I tap into any existing wiring or jumper pins or code?


The machine is a 1993 Reel Gems S5500 (I think?)


Very new to the Slot Machine world, but I've worked with Computers and Electronics my whole life.


Thanks in advance.
