Bally Alpha 'Bullseye Bonus' game kit etc...
« on: December 11, 2016, 12:09:07 pm »
WTB - Bally Alpha game kit COMPLETE with 1Ghz MPU, and any other parts required to convert my 512Mhz Alpha S9E to one of the 'Bullseye Bonus' games- Cherry Red, Black Star, or Golden Flash.  Black Star preferred.

I have already purchased off of ebay, two 1GHz MPU's. One of the MPU's (from Game King Slots, sold as 'tested and working'), was pretty much totally dead. No video. (The little green LED does light up tho!) The other, tries to work, but ends up with numerous Linux 'Lost Interrupt' messages before just going black while trying to install the game. I am assuming that is caused by a bad CF card, also purchased off of ebay as part of a supposedly good 'Golden Flash' game kit. (ebay user 'slotbuyer1972' if you are interested.) What happened to honesty and integrity? I've got around 600$ into this project and nothing to show for it.  :banghead:

To that end, I am willing to buy a complete working Alpha machine in one of the above titles, just for the parts needed to convert mine. I do not have room for another whole machine, (I wish I did) so I would just need the necessary parts removed and carefully shipped. You can keep the cabinet, printer, BV, monitor, etc. I ONLY need the parts required for the conversion, and the 5 reel assemblies as I would like to have a spare set. Also the button deck, only if my 14 button deck will not work properly with one of these titles. The only other item needed is a clear card if it is not a 335.

Sooooo...  Take my money!  Two caveats...  The strips and plexies be in good condition and... it has GOT TO WORK. I'd prefer a video of the actual machine in operation before the parts are removed, or some other 100% assurance it will work. I'm NOT going to be ripped off again.

Please PM with price including approximate shipping to 83274 if interested. VISA or Paypal. Your choice. Thanks!

A 1-gig box can be finiky esp. if no bios or jurs. were in them.  Make sure you have the proper bios and a good juris. chip.  Bios will dictate the clear needed,  Which I think you know.  A dual vid. card that has a problem or failing can cause havoc on those also.  There is probably a chance you can save those boxes?.  You seem pretty smart about this but 2 out of 2 raises my eyebrows.  Have dealt and worked on a couple hundred of these.  Also Make sure you do not have the old gamemaker  1-gig box (non-upgradeable).  B.

Thanks for the info 777!  The first box (dead) is a 204965. It has only the on-board VGA port and apparently only had that one as there is a blanking plate installed on the chassis where a second video card would be. I did replace the power supply, and both the bios and JUR chips with new ones. Also the RAM DIMM and battery. The processor chip gets slightly warm but none of the other chips get warm. I am going to try to fix it eventually. Just for fun! lol... 
The second MPU I bought is a 204694 and I am actually thinking it is OK. It clears fine.  I have no way to really test it until I have a known working game. It also has only the on-board VGA and a blanking plate where a second video card would have been if it ever had one. I suspect from the Linux interrupt error messages that the game card has a problem. I am going to try to clone it on to a new CF to see.
I really don't know that much about these MPU's or their requirements! The bios I used is AVBBP26SIMPU-07. OS is AVOS00000336-09 and I used a 335 clear card. I also tried a SIMPU-05 bios chip. I tried 2 different JUR chips. All ended up with the 'Lost Interrupt' message after seeming to load OK for a bit. Maybe these are the wrong chips or wrong boards?
Thanks!
