Hi, my name is Richard Gerlitz. I have been repairing and restoring Bally Bingo Pinball's for over 20 years. In this time, I have repaired or restored over 1,500 games. Covering all models that Bally ever made from 1950 to 1962.
During that time I had seen just about everything that could wrong with these games. I have a thorough understanding of the theory of operation, lubrication and all adjustments.

Mine will not give points he never covered that 3 in a row 4 in a row 5 in a row no points

[@rustyshields6657]

My bingo won't give u points he don't cover that

[@JMGENTERPRISES]

I would recommend the video course. It's still for sale on ebay

[@Kaavoort]

What would cause the machine, right after plugging in, getting stuck in some sort of reset cycle?

[@JMGENTERPRISES]

Sorry for the delayed response. Honestly, I would just get the bingo course. It would help resolve all issues.

[@Kaavoort]

@@JMGENTERPRISES I did buy the course. It has great information about individual mechanisms. However it is missing an explanation of how the machine operates as a whole and what happens from the time a credit is used to the last ball being played. I've since learned that the motors runs during game play so it can search for bingo matches. I take it that when it's powered on, it thinks it's in the middle of a game. Maybe someone messed with something trying to make it "free play".

[@yendric]

Did you manage fix this ‘reset cycle’ issue? My machine has the exact same problem. Thanks in advance

[@MattyMosArcade]

Can you still buy this series of dvds?

[@JMGENTERPRISES]

Yes, they are available on eBay or through the companies website as a digital download. You can download the videos and then transfer them to DVD if you would like.
