People often overlook the most common issue before diving into electronics, or voltages regarding all early SS games.
There is too much jumping ahead.
Detectives should be methodical and be specific in their step order.
The game is already obviously booting, and at least some of the proper voltages exist, or at least the game "thinks" they are there.
Fuse testing is conducted even before a game is powered up, mostly to avoid the classic overfusing that sometimes occurs, and can create more problems down the road.
Step 1 based on the problem:
Did the owner check the connectors and their associated 0.100" and 0.156" pins for either corrosion or loose fitting from the MPU, solenoid driver, power supply, and lamp board?
Lamp driver connectors would seem to be more likely either from the lamp board itself, or MPU, with an auxiliary reason being the +5vdc.
This includes continuity testing as well which requires a multimeter.
If this was not done, a person may be chasing their tail.
If connectors have not been replaced recently, the game will continue to remain unreliable.
Visual inspection and tension testing will many times give the problem away.
It is unlikely the previous owner did work prior to auction, and at worst case there are hacks.
Start simple, work forward.
I have never seen an unrestored Bally EB that did not need connectors replaced including the three I have purchased.
Every owner still needs a multimeter in the long run, as that is a requirement for owning pinball machines, unless they outsource all work.
The next step is test voltages points which includes rechecking the fuses and their holders. An owner should NEVER do "swaptronics" if voltages are out of spec, or if a game has short circuits.
The third step is checking for cold solder joints, bad traces, and hidden corrosion.
The fourth step is circuit logic and electronics.
This does not include any potential for bad lamp sockets, which in this case is most likely not the cause at all.
Best of fortune, PM of you continue to have problems, and I can crosscheck my own game.
