The database your are referring to is located at http://www.coinslots.com/roms.php (http://www.coinslots.com/roms.php)

I created the database for the owner of the website. Tape numbers refer to the reel strip numbers
Bally documentation called them tapes so I did the same.

The other information such as index Wheels are part numbers for components used on a particular machine

I understand. Is there a way to read these tape codes? My P1 prom is 550288. My model number is unknown.
According to the database, multiple models use the same P1 prom. I would like to use the symbols on my reels and payout combinations
to reverse engineer my model number. Do these numbers correspond with certain symbols?

The reel strip number are located where they join together on the reel, you will have to pull the strip back a bit.

Thanks! Mine say
Reel 1: 2271
Reel 2: 2273
Reel 3: 3 102 2273

It's a fruit model. I have Cherry, Orange, Plum, Bell, Bar and Star.
Would you know what Personality prom number might work?

From my research, I've found that the P1 prom from the following models might match my reels.
E 1228, E1347.
I know of a machine with the same payout except for the jackpot. That P1 prom is E-755-62.
Does anyone know the 6 digit prom number that belong to this prom?
