How do i get into 7.3?  I can only get to 7.2?
Once you get into the 7 key chip config you want to scroll to 7.3 ProgressiveStep one:  go into 7.3.1Controller Select7.3.1.1Game 17.3.1.      your machine denomination (I will use 25 cents)Game 1: Denom 25¢: Level 1        Stand Alone: Disabled Level 1       None:            Disabled       SAS:              Disabled       Link:              Level 1 Disabled Step 2:  Next go into 7.3.3     Stand Alone Set up7.3.3.1 Level 1 and set up

What SB and SG chips are on the MPU board located on the lower left side?

The PSR for SG000207 shows no options available for progressive setup. You might want to update those SG chips. SG000363 recommended for a 500 series MPU. SG000523 or 598 for 1270 (enhanced) MPU. You will need a key chip to make changes & as always a clear chip is recommended. IVC000224 & KEY00045 will do virtually any S2000 except those equipped & R boards.

Thanks,


I asssumed I could set it up because the top glass said progressive.  I have two other machines that may work. if I give you the chip numbers, can you tell me if they can be set up for progressive?


Thanks,

Dave

Yes the SG chips are what matters & probably the version as well. I would think progressives should have a single denom version chip or at least be set up as single denom even if a multi denom version chip is used.

Actually a Spectrum does multi denomination really well. You can set up each denomination with it's own jackpot amount and each one's roll up rate. Really cool.
I would suggest getting the SG363s for this unit assuming you have a 500 series MPU. Post a picture of the MPU board and we can tell you for sure.
SG363s are the go to chips for the home user anyway. You already have the key chip.

I have not had any time to work on this, but found a few minutes to look at two of my other machines. Here are the chip numbers.  Would the progressive set up work on either of these?  I was hoping I could do it without clearing out the machine and use it on an exsiting machine.


One of the machines uses:


SB100009
SG000598


THe other uses:


SB101122
SG000399

Ended up key chipping one of my other machines and it is a progressive. Or at leastI was able to get to 7.3 and try to set up machine.


7.3.1.1 Game 1
7.3.1.2 Machine Denomination ($.25)


Game 1: Denom .25:Level 1

Stand Alone: Level 1
None: Disabled ($0.00)
SAS: Disabled ($0.00)Link: Disabled ($0.00)

I found this on another post....


7.3 Progressive
The progressive submenus can only be configured and/or displayed when the paytable program supports progressive awards.

This note indicates to me that perhaps your SB version doesn't support progressive configuration...post your SB and i can check the PAR sheet if you don't have it.

7.3.1 Controller Select - Displays a list of levels to be configured. For each level, the operator must select from a list of progressive types (e.g., none, SAS, link, and standalone). NOTE: Before the operator can select SAS as the controller, the SAS group must be set.

7.3.2 Progressive Display - Setup Although this option appears, it has no affect.

7.3.3 Stand Alone Setup - This page determines the limit amount, the current amount, the add percentage, and the base amount for each progressive level.

7.3.4 SAS Progressive Group - This page sets the SAS progressive group. If set to zero, SAS progressive capabilities are disabled. The operator can set the SAS group from 1 to 255.


My machine is (7.3.4) is set to =000. Is this why it is not working?  If I change it to a number from 1 to 225, what does this do?


Thanks,


Dave
