The word IIplayer" is defined in this manual as any person
who deposits money, tokens, or their equivalents into the
machine described in this manual for the purpose of playing
the game offered by the machine as defined by the rules and
odds set by the machine's user(s).
This manual covers the set-up, operation, and maintenance of the

BALLY Electronic Video Slot Machine, a single-player game
displaying animated images of conventional symbols on simulated,
slot-machine reels (see Fig. 1).
This machine features a large

scale-integrated circuit (LSI)
microprocessor which is used to
control all machine functions. This
monolithic MOS device executes
stored instructions to determine
the structure and timing of game
fun c t ion s . A s elf - t est , d i a g nos tic
mode built into the control system
provides quick troubleshooting and
primary fault diagnosis using
monitor displays.
Control, address, and bi

directional data busses provide
efficient communication links
between the CPU, I/O, Video
Ge n era tor, and Sou n d boa r d s .
Switches serve as an input network

while mechanical features are
solenoidactuated. Fig. 1
The use of solid-state microcomputer electronics and a television

display system results in a gaming device with less downtime,
greater reliability, and potential for custom options and
feature expansion.
The V-1297 is also wired and cabled for installation of a link

progressive jackpot system, which can be purchased from BALLY as
a factory option or added in the field at a later date. The V
1297 is also compatible with other progressive systems.

Setting Option Switches
The DIP switch package located on

the sound board (see Fig. 6) has 10
single-throw switches which allow a
selection of game features and
other functions. The unused
switches allow the addition of
other machine features in the
future.
Typical DIP switch settings and the

functions they control are shown in
Figure 7. Switch #10 must always be
in the "RUN" position as shown.
When switch #2 is in the "OFF"

position, no music will accompany Fig. 6
a payout, but other game sounds are
not affected.
Switch number 3 controls novelty

to make the payout and reset the
machine. As an alternative to this, Fig. 7
Switch #4 determines whether or not
the machine prepays a certain amount of ' payouts larger than
hopper capacity. If the switch is set to "MACH. & ATT.", the
machine pays a pre-determined amount, then waits for attendant to
pay balance and reset machine. If switch is set to "ATTNDNT.
ONLY", the machine makes no payout on large winners, requiring
attendant to pay entire amount and reset machine.
Switch #7 selects machine coinage between Eisenhower dollars and

other coins.
Switch #8 selects either green or blue as the display background

3. GAME OPERATION
Ready-to-Play Mode
The Ready-to-Play Mode is where a
player begins operation of the
machine. When in this mode, the
machine display is as shown in Fig.
9. The video monitor displays the
final reel positions of the last
game, the number of coins bet, and
the amount won (paid out), if any.
Play Mode
The machine enters the Play Mode

when a player inserts the first
coin (see Fig.10). This illuminates
the backlit "COIN ACCEPTED" message
located on the reel glass, and Fig. 9
causes the center payline (#1) to
change color. Player may now play
game by pulling handle or increase
bet by inserting more coins, up to
the I imi t accepted by the game.
Each additional coin causes one
more payline to change color and
become ac t i ve.
Each additional coin inserted

causes the corresponding pay
schedule column on the feature
g I as s to i I I u m i nate (see Fig. 11).
Any coins inserted after the
coining limit is reached are
returned to the player. If an extra Fig. 10
coin should get past before the
coin lockout is in place, it will
be credited toward the next game.
Player may pull handle at any time
after inserting the first coin. The
pulling of the handle causes the
reel symbols to cock back. When
handle travel limit is reaChed,
reels appear to begin to "spin".
A I Ire e I s beg i n t 0 s pin
simultaneously, then stop from
left to right at 1/3 second (330ms)
intervals. The reels appear to spin
at a steady rate for approximately
1.5 seconds, then decelerate Fig. 11
quickly for another 0.5 second. The
spin ends with a damped "bounce" as
the reels stop.

3. GAME OPERATION
Play Mode (cont'd)
If the reels stop in a winning

combination, (see Fig. 12) the
machine pays the player from the
hopper or summons attendant via the
optional tower light for payment of
large winners. Hopper payouts are
recorded on the monitor displayed
win meter, which counts each coin
paid up to the total winnings
amount. The winning payline is
flashed during the payout and a
tune is played if winnings are over
a pre- determined amount. The game
then returns to the Ready-to-Play
Mode.

3. GAME OPERATION
Bookkeeping Meters (cont'd)
The I1METERSI1 column counts from 0-999,999 and resets at 1,000,000

to zero (0).
The I1PERMTR" (permanent meter) column counts increment in

parallel with the I1METERSl1 column, are also 6 digit, and reset at
1,000,000.
The last column, "MCHMTR" (mechanics meter), is provided to

record test play during maintenance or repair without disturbing
the amounts stored in the 1fIVIETERS" and I1PERMTR I1 columns.
The condition of the front door determines which meters will

increment. If the first coin of a game is inserted with the door
closed, all coins subsequently inserted for that game will
increment the values in the I1METERS I1 and I1PERMTR l1 columns. If the
first coin is inserted with the door open, all coins subsequently
inserted for that game will increment the I1MCHMTR l1 column values,
even if the door is closed after the first coin is inserted.
Diagnostic Mode
The Diagnostic Mode programmed into

the machine software can assist in
the troubleshooting of machine
operating difficulties or component
failures.
This mode is entered by opening the

front door of the machine and
pressing the reset button located

General Suggestions
Most common machine problems occur in harness components such as
the coin acceptor, player controls, interconnecting wiring, etc.
The television monitor and microprocessor computer can also fail
or malfunction, but this occurs infrequently. Procedures for
troubleshooting the video monitor can be found in Section 7, "TV
MON ITOR MANUAL".
The microprocessor-based computer is a complex device with great
numbers of different circuits. Some basic Z-80 CPU information is
supplied in this manual to assist you in locating a problem in
the CPU board. It is not recommended that you attempt to isolate
the faulty component on a defective P.C.B., as this requires
specialized equipment. Machine downtime is greatly reduced if the
defective P.C.B. is replaced as a whole from the stock suggested
by the Recommended Spare Parts List (see pg. 35) and the
defective P.C.B. returned to your BALLY distributor.
Your machine must have the correct line voltage to operate
properly. If the line voltage drops 15% below line-code plug
value, the machine will shutdown.
Low line voltage may have many causes, some of which are related
to electric utility output capacity and peak demand. If the
malfunction seems related to a certain time of day, this may be a
factor. A large electrical load (such as an air conditioner) or
poor connections in location wiring, sockets, or game line cord
can also cause this problem. Cold-solder joints in the harness,
especially in the termination board connections or fuse block,
can be suspected.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT
THE POINTS BEING CHECKED IN THE
FOLLOWING TESTS. TAKE ALL NECESSARY
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Check for correct line voltage using a VOM (Volt/Ohm Meter). Set
the VOM to 250 VAC and insert the probes into the wall socket.
If wall receptacle voltage is correct, check the machine's
transformer primary connections. If the VOM does not obtain a
reading approximating line voltage, examine the solder joints on
the transformer and fuse block. If the VOM does give a correct
voltage reading, the problem must be in the transformer, harness
connections, or P.C . B. power supply.
Check the transformer secondaries with the VOM set to 50 VAC and
20
4 . T RO UBLESHOOTING
General Suggestions (cont'd)

correlate the readings with the schematic diagram. Be certain to
check transformer ground potential as well, particularly if a
"hum bar" is present on the monitor screen. -,
Other harness problems includes blowing fuses and malfunctioning

controls. If these are suspected, first try inserting a new fuse,
as old fuses may blow unexpectedly due to age. If the new fuse
also blows, proceed to look for a short in the circuit.
Turn the power off and disconnect the devices that may be causing
the problem, such as the monitor, transformer, and P.C.B. rack.
Pull all connectors off each device, but do not allow connectors
to touch. If necessary, insulate them with electrical tape.
Connect the YOM across the terminals of the fuse block and set it
to one of the resistance scales before turning on power. This
will prevent the blowing of fuses while the circuits are checked.
Restore power and check the YOM reading. If the reading indicates
that the short is now no longer present, begin reconnecting
devices one at a time until the short returns. The last device
reconnected is at fault. If a short or malfunction is suspected
in the door, insert and lamp, or hopper assembly, they can be
disconnected and inspected individually. If the YOM reads a short
even after all devices have been disconnected, the fault lies
within the harness itself and patient exploration will be
required to reveal its location. First, carefully examine all
harness wiring, checking for burned insulation, coins across
connections, and incorrect terminal contact. If necessary, use
the YOM to check each wire.
If a feature that is switch operated (front panel switches, etc.)
does not function, use the Diagnostic Mode "INPUT TEST" (Section
3, pg. 15) to verify proper switch operation. Further tests can
be per for me d wit h a YOM i f des ire d. 1ft h e s wit chi s de f e c t i ve ,

Malfunction Codes
During normal operation, the coin
input, coin drop, and coin output
(hopper), are constantly monitored.
Any problem in these areas causes
machine operation to stop, the
optional tower light to illuminate,
and the nature of the problem to be
displayed on the video monitor.
When the front door is opened to
remedy the problem, a "CLEAR TILT

problem has been corrected, pressing the "KEYBD. CLR." pad on the
Diagnostic Mode keypad will remove the malfunction-code display
from the monitor and return the machine to normal operation. The
5 malfunction codes that can be displayed are:
COIN-IN JAM - Caused by a coin jamming in the vicinity of the

coin-in switch, forcing it to remain open for over 120 ms. This
function also protects against slugs and "stringing". Attendant
required to open door, clear jam, and return machine to normal
operation.
CO I N -OUT JAM - Ca use d by a co in j amm i ng in the vic i nit y 0 f the

coin-out switch, forcing it to remain open for over 480 ms. This
detects coin jams on the hopper (coin counting) coin-out switch.
Attendant required to open door, clear jam, and return machine
to normal operation.
HOPPER DRY - Caused by coin-out switch not sensing any coins for
7 seconds. Usually caused when no coins or tokens are available
in hopper for payout. Also caused by a faul ty hopper or faul ty
coin-out switch. Attendant required to open door, fill hopper
or notify service personnel, and return machine to normal
operation if possible.
OVER PAY - Caused by actuation of the coin-out switch at the

wrong stage in the game. Protects against hopper tampering or a
slow stopping hopper. Attendant required to open door, check
hopper and/or payout, notify service personnel if ne cessary, and
return machine to normal operation.

The Z-80 CPU
The term "microcomputer" has been used to descr... ibe many different
types of small calculating or controlling devices in the last few
years. With the advent of MOS LSI technology, however, it has
become possible to construct small, powerful computers using only
a few MOS LSI components.
The Zilog Z-80 family of I.C. components used in this machine can
be used with any type of standard semiconductor memory to create
computer systems with many different capabilities.
As used in this machine, the Z-80 microcomputer consists of three

parts:
1. CPU (Central Processing Unit)
2. Memory (ROM, PROM, EPROM, and/or RAM)
3. Interface circuits to peripheral devices (I/O circuits)
The CPU is the heart of the system. Its function is to obtain

instructions from th~ memory and perform the desired operations.
The memory contains instructions for use by the CPU and other
d a tao n gam est a t us. I n a t y pic a lin s t r u c t ion seq u e n c e the CP U

5. MAl NTENANCE AND REPAI R
Your BALLY Electronic Video Slot Machine requires regular

maintenance to keep it in proper working order. Clean, well
maintained machines attract more players and earn higher profits.
The most important part of a regular maintenance program is the

machine's built-in Diagnostic Mode, which should be checked
whenever the contents of the coin box are collected or the
exterior of the machine is cleaned, whichever occurs most
frequently. See Section 3, pg. 13 for detailed instructions on
the Diagnostic Mode.
General Cleaning
The outside of the machine cabinet and exterior metal trim can be
cleaned with any non-abrasive household cleaner. The front of the
picture tube and both sides of all other glass or plastic on or
in the machine MUST be cleaned with an anti-static type cleaner
ONLY!
Coin Acceptors
Each machine is equipped with one coin acceptor designed to

reject coins of incorrect weight, thickness, diameter, or
metallic content. Two different coin acceptors are supplied, one
electronic, the other mechanical. Both use the same mounting
hardware and location. Each type has different maintenance
requirements, which are described in the following sections.
Mechanical Coin Acceptors
Many machine operating problems are

related directly to . the coin
acceptor, which is often subjected
to spilled beverages, food, and
other foreign matter. This is a
greater problem with mechanical
acceptors, which must be removed
and cleaned regularly to avoid game
stoppage due to coin jams and
relatedmalfunctions.
To clean the coin acceptor, proceed
as follows:
Fig. 36
1. Open the front door using key
provided and locate coin acceptor
mechanism (see Fig. 2, pg. 4, &
Fig. 36). Turn off main power
switch.

Electronic Coin Acceptor

Electronic coin acceptors operate
in a fashion similar to metal
detectors. Only one moving part is
used, the solenoid actuated coin
lockout. These coin acceptors have
no mechanisms that can jam or clog
with foreign matter. However, they
do require sensitivity adjustments
to insure that they operate
correctly. This adjustment is
performedas follows
1.Remove the coin acceptor from
its mounting in the front door (see
Fig. 37, pg. 26). Fig. 40
2. Locate the adjustment pot and LED on the coin acceptor (see
Fig. 40).
3. Pass an acceptable coin through the unit while observing the
LED. If the LED flashes and the coin is rejected, turn the pot
clockwise. Repeat this procedure, turning the pot 1/4 turn at a
time, until the LED stops flashing and the coin is accepted.
4. If coin is rejected and LED does not flash, turn pot 1/4 turn
in a counter-clockwise direction. Repeat this procedure until
coins are accepted. If LED begins to flash during this procedure,
turn pot back clockwise until LED no longer flashes.
5. Within approximately 1 (one) full turn of the pot all good
coins will be accepted. The optimum setting for most coins would
be in the center of this turn.
6. Re-install coin acceptor in reverse of removal procedure.
It is possible to tune the acceptor for optimal rejection of
certain types of slugs. To reduce lead slugging on dollar
machines, turn the pot slightly clockwise from its "normal"
setting. To increase coin feeding speed, adjust pot slightly
counter-clockwise from normal. It is suggested that the unit be
tuned for marginal accept/reject rates on the third coin of a
three coin fast feed.
Before placing machine into normal operation, check coin acceptor
tuning with a variety of coins to be certain that average coins
are not rejected.
NOTE: Machines presently equipped with mechanical coin acceptors
can be field retrofitted with electronic acceptors if so desired.

Hopper Mechanism
The hopper unit is virtually identical to those used on earlier
models of BALLY gaming equipment.
The hopper's 3 states of control are determined by the CPU as
follows:
1. "OFF" in which the hopper lines are Disable LOW, Enable HIGH.
2. "TRANSITION" in which the hopper lines are Disable HIGH,
Enable LOW.
3. liON II in which the hopper I ines are Disable HIGH, Enable HIGH.
The hopper drive motor is energized in the "ON" state and coins
are dispensed. As each coin is dispensed, it lifts the roller
mechanism, which actuates a microswitch, pulsing the I/O input to
change logic levels and record a one coin payout inthe machine's
memory.
As previously mentioned, the hopper motor and control circuitry
is protected by a 5 amp fuse located on the hopper motor case. A
neon-bulb indicator illuminates when the hopper fuse is blown.
To remove the hopper unit,open the front door and remove the
coin payout cup.The hopper can now be removed by grasping the
handle on the hopper unit and pulling it forward, sliding the
hopper out of the game.
Clean the hopper assembly with a degreaser or contact cleaner and
wipe off all residue with a clean cloth.
The following are hopper maintenance operations which must be
performed on a regular basis with frequency dictated by machine
usage. These operations can also be performed whenever hopper
problems are experienced.

Introduction
This section is intended to familiarize you with the T.V. monitor
used in this machine and it can assist you in making repairs
should the monitor malfunction. A basic knowledge of electronics
is helpful and most of the tests described require the use of a
voltmeter.
Before attempting to repair the monitor, read this entire section
and obey all warnings and cautions. Then proceed to locate the
problem using the following steps:
1. Match your moni tor problem against those 1 isted under I1Symptom
Diagnosisl1. The chart will then describe which circuits to check
and which components are most likely causing the problem.
2. Once you identify the circuit causing the problem, read the
I1Troubleshooting l1 section to find out what procedures to use for
locating the faulty component(s).
3. Refer to the schematic diagrams to identify the faulty
components in the failed circuit.
The above procedure will not solve every video-monitor
difficulty. It will help you repair the majority of monitor
problems, and for those cases too ' complex for this manual,
assistance is available direct from BALLY by dialing the toll
free 800 number listed on the back of the front cover. Further
assistance can also be obtained from your local BALLY distributor
and field service personnel.

Carefully observe a test picture and change the setting of the
various controls that most likely affect the symptom displayed.
For example, if the problem is poor brightness or no picture, try
increasing the brightness or contrast control settings. If the
controls have no effect at all, the trouble is most likely in the
controls, associatedcircuitry,or nearby circuits which may be
upsetting the voltages.

First, check for obvious visual defects such as broken or frayed
wires, over-soldering, missing and/or burned components, or
cracked P.C.B.'s. If everything checks out, make certain that all
diodes, electrolytic capacitors, and transistors have their leads
connected in the correct polarity as shown on the schematic and
the circuit board.

Turn on the power and measure the voltages at the lea d s o f active
de vic e s s u c has tub e s, t ran sis tor s, 0 r i n t e g rat e d c i r c u i t s. An y
voltage that in not within 10% to 15% of that specif i ed on the
schematic indicates either a problem with the device being
checked or a component connected to it in the circuit. An

defective components.
To test a transistor, one lead of the ohmmeter is placed on the

base, and the other lead is placed on the emitter. A normal
transistor will read high to infinite resistance or little
resistance (typically 400 to 900 ohms) depending on the polarity.
The ohmmeter lead on the emitter must now be placed on the
collector and an opposite resistance reading should be obtained.
If resistance read high or infinite when the ohmmeter lead was on
the emitter, it should read low when placed on the collector. If
resistance was low when the ohmmeter lead was on the emitter, it
should read high or infinite when placed on the collector.
Consistently infinite readings indicate an open in the transistor
while a short is indicated by readings of 0-30 ohms. Now place
one ohmmeter lead on the collector, the other on the emitter. No
matter which leads are placed where, there should be infinite
resistance. A lower reading, for example 50 ohms, indicates a
short.
The lowest ohmmeter settings are usually required for testing ,

t ran sis tor s. On r are 0 c cas ion s, a t ran sis tor ma y pas s the s e .-
tests, but become "leaky" or break down only at higher voltages.
If there is any doubt, replace the transistor. The transistor can
also be tested out of the circuit in case some other component in
the circuit is affecting the ohmmeter reading.
A diode is tested in the same manner as a transistor, with the

exception that there are only two leads. Again, there should be
high or infinite resistance one way, and little or no resistance
the other. If the test indicates the diode is defective, remove
one lead from the circuit and retest it in case another component
in the circuit is affecting the ohmmeter reading.

Resistors are checked using an ohmmeter and must be within 10% of

the value stated on the resistor body and the schematic. It ma y
be necessary to de-solder one lead from the circuit boa r d f or
testing purposes. If the board's conductive foil is damaged i n
the process, carefully solder a small wire over the break to
reconnect the foil.
Capacitors cannot be tested using an ohmmeter as both the i r

voltage and resistance increase as they charge themselves u s i n g
current from the meter. If all other components in a cir cu it
check out, electrolytic capacitors are most likely causing the
problem. Substitute a new capacitor and test monitor operation.
Theory of Operation
This section will assist you in understanding how the T.V.

monitor functions. It examines large, general groups of circuits
to avoid confusion and aids in achieving a basic knowledge of
monitor operation.
Power Supply"
The AC current to the monitor from the game transformer has 60

cycles per second, identical to the current from a wall outlet. A
monitor requires a stable DC current for proper operation. Diodes
are used to rectify the incoming AC into DC and a large
e 1 e c t r 0 I Y tic cap a cit 0 r i sus e d t 0 fur the r s tab iii z e the DC
supply. Because of its size and power requirements, the monitor
also contains zener diodes and transistors to maintain sta ble DC
current.When the monitor picture becomes wavy, it is a sign t h at
AC i s fin din g its way t h r 0 ugh a m a I fun c t ion i n gpo we r sup ply. I f
the voltage from the voltage from the power supply is too low,
other , circuits won't receive the necessary power and only a
small, wavy picture or none at all will be visible.
Chassis Interface Section
The interface section of the chassis is identified by the video

j a c.k s w h i c h r e c e i vet he i n put fro m the log i c boa r d s. The rea r e
sets of transistors that receive the separate red, green, bl ue ,
and sync information from the logic boards. These cir cuit s
increase the voltage and match impedences, preparing the log ic
board outputs for the circuits that will amplify them for use in
the yoke or picture tube.
Note that the sync is negative-going. This means that both

horizontal and vertical sync are negative going wave fo rmsand
46
/
Theory of Operation (cont'd)
.
I(
I(
that these two pulses are going at different speeds. The vertical
wave forms are at 60 Hz (Hertz or cycles per second) and the
horizontal wave forms are at 15,625 Hz.
The sync signal is amplified by a sync amplifier transistor and
the color information is sent to the neck board where main
amplification occurs.
Vertical an Horizontal Deflection
After the sync signal is amplified by the sync amplifier, it goes
to both the vertical and horizontal circuits. The sync signals
provide the timing for picture assembly, preventing break-up and
other distortions as each of the electron beams scan the tube
face to create one portion of the picture.
The 60 Hz pulse sent to the vertical oscillator makes sure that
this circuit oscillates at 60 cycles per second. Without this
pulse, the circuit will oscillate at a higher or lower frequency,
causing the picture to "roll" up or down.
The Wells-Gardner 13" color monitor uses transistors for its sync .-
section whil ·e an Electrohome 13" uses a single integrated
circuit, IC 501. Both components perform the same function, .-
sending a 60 Hz sawtooth waveform to the yoke's vertical coils.
On the way to the output transistors, the 60 Hz pulse is shaped I
I
and amplified by the yoke so that the amplified vertical output I
fills the screen. If only a horizontal line is visible on the

monitor screen, there is a problem with one of the components in ~I
I
the vertical section. I
I
The horizontal section is similar to vertical section with the

exception that it uses a different wave form. The horizontal wave
form is close to square and has a frequency of 15,625 Hz. Again,
Wells-Gardner uses transistors for the horizontal oscillator
while Electrohome uses the other side of IC 501. If the
oscillator doesn't provide the correct frequency, the picture may
move sideways, start to slant, or break-up with thin, slanted
figures.
In both the horizontal and vertical sections, there are variable
resistors that change the oscillation frequency to keep the
picture in sync and assembled properly.
The wave form is shaped and amplified in the horizontal section
just as in the vertical section. The horizontal section, however,
also feeds the high voltage flyback transformer.
47
The Flyback Transformer
The picture tube requires a higher voltage than the power supply
can give to provide a picture. The flyback transformer fulfills
this need by increasing the 15,625 Hz. horizontal transistor
output to a higher voltage at the same frequency. In the flyback
are diodes that rectify the incoming AC into DC before the power
is sent through the thick red wire to the picture tube.
-WARNING
THIS RED WIRE CARRIES AN 18,000 VOLT
POTENT I AL! DO NOT TOUCH IT WITH ANY
PART OF YOUR BODY OR ANY OTHER
OBJECT!
The flyback has extra output windings to support the picture tube
heater, the vertical deflection circuits, and picture tube screen
grid voltage. In this way, the flyback transformer resembles a
second power supply.
Co lor C i r cui t s
The color signals pass through the interface section where some
amplification and impedence matching occurs. These circuits
contain relatively few components and from here the AC color
signal is sent to the neck board.
The color-output circuits are located on the neck board. The
color signals going to the transistors are regulated by two
variable resistors called drive controls. There are two of these,
one for the red and one for the green (there is no drive control
for blue). In the emitter part of each transistor is another
variable resistor called the cut-off control. These controls vary
the amount of the amplified AC signal that goes to the cathodes
ofthepicture tube.The higher thesignal, thedeeperthe color.
The bases of these transistors are connected to each other and to
the beam-limiting transistors in the interface section.
The beam limiter helps control the brightness and the blanking
transistor rapidly turns the picture tube "ON" and "OFF" so the
retrace line don't appear on the screen. By increasing the
brightness on a good monitor, the 4 to 6 retrace lines can be
seen slanting diagonally across the picture.
Protection Circuit
To keep the high voltage section from generating X-rays due to
over-voltage from the power supply, a sensing circuit turns off
the horizontal oscillator using a transistor. If this circuit is
activated, the monitor will have no picture and appear to be off.
The excessive amount of voltage from the power supply which
48

triggered the circuit in the first place is still present,
however. To verify proper power supply voltage, check the emitter
on TR502 on Wells-Gardner units or the emitter of X04 on
Electrohome monitors. The correct voltages are: I
Wells-Gardener - 127 VDC [I
E I e c t r 0 home - 1 2 0 VDC .
This voltage is measured at pin B1 on Electrohome monitor chassis
as this monitor uses an integrated circuit and little else in the
power supply.
The Picture Tube (or CRT)
The picture tube or CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) is an output device,
its display being the end result of the circuits described
earlier.
The picture tube contains a heater which "boils" electrons off
the cathodes to form the beam which excites the three (red,
green, and blue) screen phosphors, causing them to emit light and ~
.,'
create the picture used for playing the game. The cathodes can '"0'''''
arc or short to the heater resulting in no picture and a

defective tube.
The picture tube contains three grids, the first of which is
grounded. The second grid has a potential of approximately 300
VDC applied to it, depending on the brightness setting. The third
grid is used to focus the electron beams and receives about 1/5
the voltage applied to the picture tube anode.
After leaving the cathode and passing through all the grids, the
electron beam goes through a mask, a sheet of material containing
very small holes. The electron beam now reaches th~ phosphor dots
on the inside surface of the tube face, causing them to glow. The
green electron "gun" (or cathode and associated circuitry) beams
electrons only at the green phosphor dots. The red and blue
"guns" beam their electrons only at the red and blue phosphor
dots. The blending of the three primary colors in the monitor
screen determines the color seen. Too intense an electron beam
can "burn" the phosphor dots, leaving a permanently visible dark
image after the monitor is turned off.
49
Differences Between Monitors
Two different brands of 13 11 color video monitors are used in

BALLY gaming equipment, the IIWells-Gardner ll and the
IIE1ectrohome ll • Each uses separate P.C.B.ls for main sections of
circuitry. A few parts, however, are still mounted on the
chassis. The IIElectrohome" monitor can be identified by its lack
of separate P.C.B.ls, except for the neck board and its flat
chassis. Monitors can also be identified by the callout numbers
on components. "Wells-Gardner" part numbers begin with the
letters IITR" , "Electrohome" part numbers begin with an "X".
NOTE: The following diagrams depict the BALLY installed wiring

used to place the monitor vertical and horizontal centering
controls at a remote location within the machine cabinet. Because
of this installation, the controls for these functions located on
the monitor are no longer usable. When the monitor is removed to
a test bench, separate vertical and horizontal controls must be
temporarily connected to these pin locations while the test
procedures are performed.
