Bally loses its memory
alan49pear:
Hi everyone, I think ive sorted the problem, it seems that when messing with the self test button I had turned the replay and extra ball award off, (settings self test 17 & 18) I re-set them to the guide in the manual and apart from a few "random" extra balls, it seems to have worked, I have left the machine switched on for 7 or 8 hours to top up capacitor and I hope that's that, thanks, Alan. P.s. has anyone got or know where to get, a 7 digit numeric display or is it feasible to try get a "dead" one repaired ?

Did you try and re-solder the pins of the display?
Here's a new one....

7 digits are unfortunately fairly expensive to replace, even if you go used.
If you're spending new money, put in an LED:

I took the advice from the guy who serviced it, Andy at Pinball Mania, he checked it out and advised a new unit, checked on ebay and theyre about £70 each inc p&p so I might take it out and check with my local electronics shop and see if theres anything he can do with it, thanks, note, I DO have a soldering iron and solder, im just not confident about having a go, :-\

If the nipple on the back of the glass is broken, or there's a crack in the glass, you're not going to be able to do anything besides replace that glass.
Move the dead display to the player 4 spot and get on with life.
:cheers:
