Bally home pinball model service information
Pinball Wizard:
It isn't released for sale yet. Only bad news for me is that it doesn't look to replace the power board which is also cooked to a crisp on mine.
Ken Layton:
Generally the power supply board can be repaired.
Pinball Wizard:
My power board has burned up so much of the traces that I am starting to think that I just need to take inputs and outputs of it and just redesign the power board. The guy on KLOV shelved the project and it might be the swift kick in the ass I need to do it. Maybe actually include a fuse or 2 in the design too!
Ken Layton:
The "Pinball Mind" board will have two options for power. One option includes a complete re-engineered power transformer box which includes new power supply board inside it (you send your old power transformer box and power supply board for a core credit). The other option allows you to use a common Peter Chou screw terminal power supply for the +5 volts. You use the Peter Chou supply in conjunction with the original power supply board and transformer box with the original units still providing the other voltages.
There is a website showing pictures of a guy's Fireball home model that got converted to using conventional pinball lamp sockets and switch assemblies in place of those phony microswitch units on the original machine's giant playfield circuit board:

EDIT: The above link is now no good. Please see my post further down the thread for the new link to the Fireball pictures.
Ken Layton:
I scanned the instruction and score cards for the Captain Fantastic home pinball. They are attached here in pdf format.
