Hello,
I am working on a Bally Hi Deal for a sibling that has had some of the wiring damaged by mice. I have repaired all of the obvious damage and have come to a point where I need to use the schematic because I cannot confirm where the damaged wires connect. Many of the wires that they chewed up were the coil hot wires (had plastic insulation), but they did get a few of the cloth insulated wires too.

Problem is the mice also chewed up the paper that denotes what each relay is.

Can someone post up a picture that clearly shows what all the components are in the bottom cabinet please?

I think I saw that one, as you said can't read the words.

I searched all posts on here and none had what I need. Closest I have found is a YouTube video on a Bally of a similar year, but it does not show all relays and it is not exactly the same.

Hopefully someone with a Hi-Deal can snap a few pictures of theirs.

Thank you Tim, your pictures cleared up which relays are which.

I created a document based off of those images. The image is orientated from the player perspective.

Late update on the repair of this pinball machine (my first EM repair job).

When the machine was purchased the inside had been occupied by mice and rats for sometime. While they were not still living in there, they left behind a mess. Literal mounts of poop and they had chewed up almost all of the vinyl covered wires and some cloth wires on the lower panel.

Big thanks to TimBoch for posting the id labels for the relays. Using this information and the wiring diagram I was able to repair the wires and got the unit working.


This is my youngest son testing the pinball out.
