You need one of these to fill in the space below the glass .. it fits onto the metal plate in the very first picture you posted. The second picture shows the metal plate removed. -- Sent you a message.

Mine is 19.5 wide and is 9" tall, to cover the entire top box, it would have to be 19.5 by 12.

I am searching on updating the bill acceptor, do you know of a replacement for my zt1102?
Chase

Odd that the full size top glass that is 19x15 is 3 inches too tall. Maybe IGT put a different top box housing on your machine and it is a little shorter than another taller version. -EDIT- your machine has a 9" short top box, it can only hold the top glass you already have. Your player tracking panel just needs a suitable covering. See Ken's post below.

I don't know the Mars bill validators specifics but maybe one of the parts/slot machine vendors here will be able to suggest a solution. There is another model line of bill validators called "WBA" but I think when you switch from one family of bill validator to another you have to change everything pertaining to the bill validator, including the mounting frame, cash box, bill acceptor front end head and then transport, etc. But the parts may only be $125 for a complete setup (that's just a guess). What I'm not sure about is if a WBA bill validator system will work in an S+ machine. But as long as the WBA uses ID-022/023 it seems like it should be ok. This is an area I'm not too knowledgeable about.

The easiest solution is to get your Mars/MEI unit updated so I'd spend a few days checking on that, see if it is possible and what the cost would be. If that doesn't work out there should be other bill validators you can buy and install, the S+ is the most popular hobbyist machine to own, so parts available for it are abundant.

The machine he posted a picture of is a 9" flat top. It's missing the player tracking bracket cover.

The link posted for the award glass is for a 16" high top machine.

Thanks Ken, that clears that up, no way a full size glass will fit. What about the MEI/Mars bv, do you know if anyone can update the software in it? If not is there a good bv replacement, like a WBA system?

WBA with new 5 would be the best thing for this machine.

In your second picture you can see holes at the bottom side edge. A 9/32 socket I think will go in to remove at least 2 nuts.
Thank Ya Thank Ya Very Much.

I blew up the picture of the interior. The screw by reel 3 can go back in that top hole.

Inside of the inner frame there are two phillips head screws inside of those 1/4 pie openings. Those two screws need removed.

Thanks,  It wasn't in the best shape and tonight I pulled the motherboard to check the battery for leakage.  It looks like roaches once had a thriving community on the motherboard.  I got the 3 9/32 screws out of the outside cage and found 2 more on the bottom between the cage and power supply.  I will need to find a 6" 1/4 drive, to get those.  Here is what the motherboard looks like.

Leave the five 9/32 nuts there. You are only trying to remove the inner frame .. not the outer frame.

For your knowledge, on the IGT S+ machines, that board you took out is called the MPU board.  The "motherboard" on those machines is the small fixed board in the bottom of the machine that the MPU board plugs into.   :Professor:

A lot of times there are a number of connectors in the machines that are not used. Usually left over from casino equipment that has been removed before the machines left. Sometimes the connectors are even cut off and just wires are dangling.

If all aspects of the machine are working ok then the unused connectors are not for anything critical. As Shaggy said, they could be for optional equip that was installed in the casino, then removed when the machine was sold. They leave the wiring in the machine because it is not worth their time to remove it. And some cables could be for something like the drop box in the stand for overflow coins, etc, that are not being used at this time.

Coral Reef S +

I really thought I had this thing wrapped up, but this morning I played the thing and this came up.  When I got triple bars it gave me 150 credits, when according to the top glass it should have been 500.  Is there a dip switch the controls the payout, or is that a function of the progressive slots which wouldn't work now because it is a stand alone machine?

Good news - The pay is correct.
Bad news - The inserts are incorrect and need replaced.

Should be 2500/150 for the top two awards for 3 coins played not 5000/500.
