Hello, i just picked up a Bally System 5000 Slot machine and am trying to figure what type of machine i have and how to test the power supply.

Model # S33L33-00.

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried sensitivity control but I might try to play with that a little more. Any idea about the clicking, why it's not there anymore? You really can hear it when playing credits. It comes from the upper left. I'm guessing manual meters are up there? I want to thank you for helping me out.

Have you been adjusting the sensitivity control on the front box of the comparator?
Considering the way the circuit is configured yo0u could prop the rake open with some folded paper and use it that way.
In the F2 system the coin ion optic (or switch) do not communicate with the coin comparator.
The comparator is only used to set the size of the coin.

Got the GameField touchscreen in, the hardware works great!  A 32" vertical NEC display and the GF touchscreen.  No crash when tapping the GF touchscreen! 

What's driving me nuts is that games other than Ironman work perfectly.  The dang OS 18.02 Ironman needs is just junk compared to H19.01.  Won't calibrate the touchscreen properly so I still can't get past initial setup. Like it's trying to calibrate a horizontal screen when it's displayed vertical. So once calibrated in the H18.02 OS, it has no touchscreen test function or anything.  So basically touch doesn't work after you calibrate in OS 18.02! 

The only way I got limited touch function is if I cleared and loaded just the OS H19.01, calibrates perfectly and Wonka loads and runs perfectly.  Even took a pic of diagnostics > machine info to see that it's showing it is a GamefieldxD cabinet being detected.

Apparenly it remembers the calibration from the 19.01 OS even after clearing and loading OS 18.02.  But touch is still so off I can't complete initial setup.  And if I try to calibrate in the 18.02 OS, then the touchscreen doesn't even respond afterwards.  I can recalibrate over and over and the touchscreen always responds to calibration touches.  But there isn't even an option to exit calibration!  Or even a touchscreen test button as in OS 19.01.  After touching the two hash marks in calibration it just goes back to the "turn key to calibrate touchscreen" over and over, like it isn't saving the calibration.  I can only exit "sometimes" by closing the door switch to exit, but then if I go back into setup, no touchscreen response anymore at all. Can't believe OS 18.02 is that bad.  Has to be something else going on here, but only occurs with ONE game title?     

Running out of ideas for why this one game is being so touchy.  Cabinet is seen as a GameFieldxD, video is just fine.  So just looking at more obscure potential issues.

Found this reference, so I'm wondering if it could be due to the much newer bios?

ME-WMS000055 WMS Iron Man S85E-000-1020 85E1020_OS3007_139111_2010.bin NSOS-000-3007 NBOT-00003-2010 SJUR-000139-111 GFxD

The Bios listed is NBOT-00003-2010 and NSOS-000-3007 (OS 18.03)

My current bios is NBOT-0003-2021v0.00.89

11 years between bios revs is a long time.  But wondering if that could be a cause.

If anyone had the .bin file for Bios NBOT-00003-2010 (or even close) I'd read and save mine, and flash it just to see if it makes a difference.  Or even some kind of PSR (or whatever WMS calls them) with game specific information like hardware required and such that IGT has for its game titles.    Do these even exist for WMS game titles???   If so, does anyone have a PSR type doc for this game ID for Ironman?

Thanks!

Just in case anyone else has this issue.  Identified by obscure schematics of the LED driver board.  lol

Pins 1 and 4 -  Ground

That gets it running!
