Quoted from PinballGurus:Diodes on switches test good.
That's great but the diodes are not what usually fails on a classic Bally. Nearly 90% of the time, it's some of the disc capacitors that fail, not diodes. Bally used some very low quality caps back in the day. Use the switch test along with the chart above to determine that ONLY ONE switch # is triggered when you test each switch in the game. I fought a problem on my EBD for years and it was only sorted out after getting 4 or 5 shorted disc caps removed.
