Bally is a American company, but they built machines in Dublin and Belgium aswell.If the machine has any electronics in it then likely to be a rebuild by Summit.

Bought a one armed bandit last week for just 250 euro. Does anyone know what the brand is? Way back, mid 80s, I thought some one told me it was a Belgium made machine. Like to replace the bottom window and looking for a manual. Please help me out.

The Frame is now semi finished I have temporary fitted the modules to make sure it all fits ... looks good so far The space in the top is where the mini reel set is going to be fitted I still have a couple of bits of wood to fit to the base at the back to support the PSU and the speaker My Plan is to put a hinged door on the back ... i will wire everything to screw terminal strips on the inside of the back door this way i can chang/replacee looms or swap i/o easily without having to de-solder the looms from the modules ... next stage is fit the final bits of wood and give it a coat of paint ... but i need to paint it outside and its pissing down so maybe a couple of days till the next update untill then ... all the best ...

Found another one! High Score. CPU driven and reel set with coil stopper.

So, I found a company on line called e-service which were selling scorpion 4 boards without any delay, also with 3 months warranty, so ordered 1 yesterday morning for £60 delivered. Arrived this afternoon, board came sealed in plastic and looked brand new. fitted it and it works perfectly. So a big shout for them at e-service, great price, super quick delivery. Perfect.👍😀👌 Also a big thanks to everyone here for their inputs and knowledge.

This thread is truly amazing,I think they are great but no way could I use one.Im just coping a fecking mp3 player lol.

is the plastic filament available in anti-static plastic?

Yes Ron, you can't keep them all! If that was the case we would be sleeping on top of them lol

I didnt think i really needed one but once i started i never stopped .. it practically runs every day ... now before buying something on ebay i think to myself ... can i 3D print it 2 weeks ago i needed component draw cabinets ... around £10 on Ebay inc delivery and £4.50 each printed at home ( orange cased ones in Photo

Yeah it looks that way Ron! I think same has been done on back door but not so severe but not seen it as yet!

yes well impressive!! I need a 3d printer!!!

Check this out. More technical info than the standard Mars manuals. Not sure where I got this from MEI-Cashflow-1xx_Designguide.zip

then the mech is doing nothing, most likely faulty

Now that is thinking outside the box, using CAD for your wooden frame. Great work, it's very interesting seeing this project come together.

nope!!!!! INHIBITS FLOATING (NOT CONNECTED) mech will REJECT INHIBITS GROUNDED mech should ACCEPT

Is it English because it looks like one of those old skool American monsters from the 70s?

Here's two of my latest boards I've repaired while off work furloughed. Both were not to bad battery damage really. One had burned out track under the meter driver which I've not seen before... back to life now though. The green dots are all new ICs Still working on the dreaded nemesis board. 😎

Another wonderful release - thank you so much Frig! A very playable 2p machine this was, when lunch money was low this was the one to try.

could be the bridge rectifier, could be the smoothing capacitor, cannot tell any more from a voltage meter reading, check the bridge rectifier on diode check I would suggest

something like this is usually the problems with scorp 4 https://www.fruitemu.co.uk/ib/index.php?/topic/20752-scorpion-4-mpu-repairs/&tab=comments#comment-319840

this is a mpu4 video, but spot the leaky transistor!!

don't forget the mainboard has tracks corroded in the digital sound side, I would sort that out first before condemning the program card which doesn't have damage!! It is like saying.. my car wont start and someone then saying replace the engine first.......... you know what I mean...

Hi all Im very sorry to have to announce that Bell Fruit games factory will be closing. The clear out starts in Jan. All of the shop floor are being made redundant. I’m not 100% about development but would assume it won’t be good for them either. It’s such a shame but the market has moved on so much. The video products are doing really well now making games easy to distribute. Online also takes a huge chunk of players. I have had some great years there and met some brilliant people. I wish them all good luck for the future :(. Cheers John
