I have also been looking for a copy of the 776 (Super Gold Award) Schematic. I have the Manual 200 which covers the 776 and other related models. This manual has "Circuit Function Charts" that are full of grid references (eg A-6, E-11, G-5 etc) that are used to locate components on the (mi...

Topic merged - Site Admin. Now that I have a Bally 776 Super Gold Award bandit, I would like to complete it by sourcing the missing 3 counters ("Coins in", "Coins out" and "Gold awards out"). The Bally part numbers are 2 off e-130-10 an 1off e-130-13. The picture below...

Hi,
I'm sorry I'm not really a collector. I have restored (and kept!) a non-working Jameson Electrodart (ciruit diagram already uploaded to this site). I have now started work on repairing/restoring a Bally Super Gold Award.

Would beer tokens (£) do instead?

Yes that's right as per my initial post. I already have the 18 way male plug but have been unable to find a source of the 18 way socket with the 2 round sockets on the middle row.
Regards,

Thank you for the information. The thing I would really like to get my hands on is the 18 way socket that you show in your last photo. I already have the plug but I'm missing that matching socket. Would it be possible to buy it from you (so that I can make up a service lead....to check the electrics...

That is interesting. I wondered what the PE logo was about. I did wonder why all the manuals talk about hoppers....

Does that mean Belly light box fluorescent changing was easier in USA....or was that a pain as well?

Thanks for the info

Hi I have had this problem a few times. It can be very stubborn. I have always found get it warm with an hair dryer, but not hot. Chances are, a cloth tape has been used to act as a gasket and gone hard and stuck it to the frame. The heat should soften it. Replace with a few layers of p.v.c tape. S...

I think you are right T5 (5/8") is more likely than T8 (8/8=1"). The top panel display tube is definitely T5. I should have been more clear: My bandit runs from 240v. It connects to a step down transformer that makes the whole machine work, as it would do in USA, from 110v. The belly light...

...And can anyone confirm whether the tubes are T5 or T8 please?

Hello again, I need to find replacements for the two flourescent tubes located in the 1960s bandit's belly glass. I'm fairly sure they will be 12 inch 110v tubes. (The bandit operates at 110v through a 240v transformer... for the UK market). I have replaced the (US) starters but with no luck. Findin...

Thanks for the suggestion (US EBay).
The part number(s) I was looking for were the Beau (or successors) part number(s). I have seen some part numbers quoted but they are really for the version without the round pin/locators.....

Regards,
Gary

I have found another site that suggests that apart from the 2 screws mentioned that there are another 4 nuts at the bottom of the belly panel that need to be removed. [These may require the pay-out mechanism to be removed first!] I have attached a photo that shows Screw 1 (there is another screw on ...

Topic merged - Site Admin. Hi, It's me again.... I am really struggling to remove the belly glass from a 1965 Bally 776 slot machine to change the neon tubes. I haven't yet found a copy of the Bally Manual No 200 though I have found quite a few generic instructions. All the instructions I can find ...

Hello again everyone, I recently acquired a (1965) Bally 776 (Super Gold Award one arm bandit). I would like to be able to do a little maintenance work on it and I'm trying to make/buy an extension lead so that the mechanical assembly can be operated whilst removed from the cabinet. This must be qui...

Remember playing the Film stars model as a young lad on holiday at Butlins. It was Clacton or minehead, not sure now? What I remember most is that on one bank of coin entries, the lock outs where not working and this allowed me to place a bet one the winning light had already stopped. Needless to s...

My favourite in the 60s was the (Crompton ?) 3d Derby. It was a monster, perhaps 7ft across and took the old 3d pieces. It had about 8 betting sections each with two independent 3d slots with a central horizontal 4ft circular table that rose about an inch, rotated and then settled down to show winne...

I thought this source of free downloads for Bally One Arm Bandit might be of interest:

(Hope I'm allowed to post this.....if not my apologies to the admins)

Thank you for your fast reply and the manual. As it happens I had already trawled the internet and found this manual. Sadly it doesn't cover the 776. However I'm fairly sure a lot of the information will be common between the em varieties. In the meantime, the search goes on..... Thanks again for he...

Topic merged - Site Admin. I just wondered if some kind soul could point me in the direction of a service manual/parts list for a Bally Super Gold Award one arm bandit. I believe, but am not certain that the model number is 776 (a variant of the "standard" Gold Award bandit). Thank you in...
