If you wanted to write a manual for a machine you can't get any documentation for, what would you put in it?
The only thing I can think of is a switch map. That, and it's hot out.

If you were the government you would just grant it amnesty and then you wouldn't need documentation.
switch map
lamp map
solenoid map and their drivers
and if it's a special type of boardset no one knows about then even more
how selftests and adjustments work
even architecture what pcbs do what
Sana'a
Quoted from vid1900:I'd follow a simple manual like a SS Bally.
Exactly
I would make schematics for each PCB, and tables for solenoids / lamps / flashers / switchmatrix.
On top of that also a theory of operation for each important part.
Perhaps adjustments if the values are not self-explaining.
The rest you find in a normal manual is ballast which I personally don read.
