I have a Bally Fireball Home edition that does not power up. Looking
and the power supply board there are two distinct burned spots. I
believe the board is bad. Question is should I try to repair it or
replace it? Does anyone know what replacement part I would use and
where I could get it? Thanks!

Do you think it's a ECG271? One thing you might want to try is the
push button switch. It's a latching-style switch that should give a
pretty good click when pushed, otherwise the game could actually be
stuck in the 'off' position. It's kind of a mechanical binding issue
that didn't rear its ugly little head on the game I was working on
until I completely dismantled the power board section.

Well it does power up but acts like it is in tilt mode. I was able to
find a schematic and it looks like a zener diode and 33 ohm resitor is
missing the molex conector is also burned up. I removed the power
supply board and was just wondering if I should fix it or what
replacement part I need. Doing a search I cannot find anything about
this unit.- Hide quoted text -

There's really not much info on those left. There were three models
issued by Bally. Fireball was also co-issued as a kit by Heathkit (the
electronic kit manufacturer of bygone days).

IMHO, if there was one document that would be of the greatest
assistance, it would be the Heathkit instruction / assembly manual.

Perhaps Amateur Radio Operators or Electronics forums might yield
results if no one here has that document.
