The Silver Sails I just bought died at turn-on. I
DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO LEARN BEFORE MACHINE SMOKED. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
50V CIRCUIT FUSE BLOWS AT TURN ON. PAPER BETWEEN CONTACTS ON
YELLOW SCORE STOP RE. STOPS THIS BUT OF COURSE THIS AIN’T THE CURE. WHERE
SHOULD I GO NEXT TO LOOK FOR PROBLEM/SHORT/BAD THING? ALSO, WHAT IS A
GOOD COIL READING Vs. FRIED IF IT ISN’T OBVIOUS ON COIL .ANY BINGO TECHS
STILL OUT THERE??? THX. RUSS From: Phil (okorange@home.com) Date: 2002-02-24 09:38:06 PST To
test the yellow step up coil, jump a wire from 21 (blue and red) wire on the
yellow score unit step up arm switch to the
side of the coil with the white and brown wire (not the orange and red side).
As long as the play feature
relay is not energized, this should activate the coil. Do
you have a copy of the schematic for that machine? Which switch prevents the
fuse from blowing? There are two switches on
that relay. If opening the single pole double throw switches solves the
problem, you probably have a short in the white and brown
wire coming from the relay to the yellow score step up coil. If it's the
normally closed single switch, check the white and
blue wire. This runs from the yellow score stop and the magic screen feature
unit stop to the magic screen feature unit step
up. The main thing to look for is bare/worn wire. Also, I hope your wire is
not totally gray and cruddy and that you
can at least sort of tell what the original colors were. Good
luck. ~ This is
great advice from Phil – If your machine smoked, more than likely there
is black “carbon” damage to help identify ~ ~ The
burned out circuit/unit and likely a short is involved – So powering up
only the suspect circuit is wise. ~ ~ This
will keep you from frying the wiring and/or modules and/or parts any further
and keep you from popping fuses ~ ~ and
stopping your trouble-shooting effort ~
~ Other
than the backglass and paint, Bally’s Silver Sails bingos are exactly
the same as the Golden Gate Bingos ~ ~ The
schematics for either one apply to both and the guts are the exact same
layout, components, and locations ~ ~ Most
“Magic Screen” games are similar in design, operation, and
trouble-shooting ~ ~ Be
careful in there, this is live A.C. circuitry when plugged in! ~ ~
You can email with technical questions! ~
