~ Rec.Games.Pinball is a good high-traffic forum for Q&A’s –
Even the Man! himself is out there sometimes ~ 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. ~ I haven’t tried this, but I assume
it applies to most of the Ballys like my 1954 Surf Club below ~
~ The “Control Unit” is that monster
down in the middle and is the primary-noise-maker in your Bally ~ The tech here is talking about the two
banks of switches laying on the upper shelf – These are old-style high-current A.C. switches and that
is why they are so big and often mistaken for relays – Each switch is multi-layered, each having more then
one switch in the pile. The A, B, C, D references are to the individual switches, starting in the pile from
the bottom up – Before you commit, do some double-checking with the bingo unplugged – Ohm test from the
coinbox-mechanisim to the switch – etc – You want to be sure! Be careful here, once you bend one of
these things is permanent! ~ Some of the control units are
different from one another! ~
~ Be careful in there, this is live
A.C. circuitry when plugged in! ~ ~
You can email with technical questions! ~
