Bingo Pinballs

Created on 07-05-2020

Now on a few of the 20-hole games, the coin switches are pretty sensitive and if you trigger them to slowly

sometimes your machine will Tilt during coin-play, tilt while you are manually triggering the switch`

Well there is a work-around to eliminate the problem down on the Control Unit`

Bingo Tilt Problem

Many Bally bingos have a design that causes a tilt if the coin switch is activated too slowly. This is intended so that it will tilt when someone tries to cheat using a string or wire to activate the switch instead of a coin. This often is a problem in home use when you're not using coins and just tripping the switch with your finger. To deactivate this 'feature' bend the top switch piece on #4D of the Control Unit up so that the switch cannot close. #4D is the 4th switch stack from the left on the Control Unit.

---------------------------------------------------

…and we can use this Hawaii detail to help understand the description`

Now the reference to the left-or-right side of the Control Unit naturally depends on if you are viewing it looking

through the door on the backbox or if you have removed the backglass and are looking at it from the front – etc`

To get around that, you can go straight to the manuals that always have a view of the unit and what is great about that,

is the view is annotated with reference designators that correspond to the parts and schematic`

…and most of the relays and relay contacts rest atop the Switch Bracket Assembly`

…and the sets of leafs climb up from the bottom: A, B, C - etc`

Now it’s a bit difficult to make out on the schematic, but an anti-cheat was put in near the coin switch so if the

switch is held on too long (someone trying to run a rod trough vs. a coin) the Tilt is triggered, so taking out #4D

disables this protection all together`

So I like this one, a good one to learn from to see a functional use of the schematic, some pictures, and the manual

being used together to understand the Bingos`
