The only thing missing, as far as Craig is concerned, is that he didn't have the entire machine. I'm assuming your not close enough to take it there. Too bad. I really would like to see an outcome on this one. Even if it did make me look like I have no clue what I'm talking about.

crossed my mind - HOWEVER - maybe the gremlin in the machine will live on and prosper and shorten my life somemore

the whole purpose of this site is to help and EDUCATE - to learn how to fix problems with NORMAL machines - a lot of time and energy was spent in the pursuit of the cure - thank you all for trying - but I think time has come to put the patient away.

So sorry your tossing in the towel. Do you have any regular S2000 SG and SB chips? A set of 363's and pretty much any non vision SB to see if it will work without vision. Barry, I would have liked to been by your side and get it going. Never met an IGT I didn't like. Even sadder that you dislike me.

i have a library of sb chips and s2000 games that i inherited over the years. its probably worth a try - once I get the boards back. don't dislike anyone - i got frustrated with doing the same thing over and over - once I get the boards back I will try to find a game set and give it a go - with the pesky COIN IN JAM error - not sure if the change of games with get me past that - but lets see

Just thought of something, is your cabinet IO card metal or plastic cased? If it is plastic cased the door IO also needs to be a plastic cased one. If it's metal cased back to your regularly scheduled program.
Also if it is a 5 button deck the door IO should be a 14928001 assuming the cabinet IO is a metal case one should be a 14930200.

metal - again SPIN checked the 2 door io boards and the one on the cpu.

Since May of 2017 - this game has been a headache - hairloss - pain in the ass - EXPENSIVE machine to FIX!!! YES FIX - it is WORKING - qbert drove 3 hours to HELP me - I WATCHED THE MASTER AT WORK - and now i have the most expensive VISION game in existence - to get my money back on parts alone this machine would retail for $1200. Add in minimum wage for the 1000s of hours - machine is PRICELESS. I will let qbart chime in with his solution - HE IS THE VISION MAN.
I learned my lesson - no matter how cheap a machine sells for - if you don't know what you are doing - walk away. Million Thanks to qbert and some valuable information he will relay to all you eager Vision owners.

Yes, Rich. Please chime in. Love to know what it was.

GOS · « **Reply #189 on:** November 07, 2017, 12:03:46 PM »

how about a raffle to see who is as smart as rich.

ianmcneil68 · « **Reply #190 on:** November 07, 2017, 12:05:50 PM »

Rich had the advantage of having the machine in front of him.

GOS · « **Reply #191 on:** November 07, 2017, 12:07:58 PM »

yes true - let him explain - I don't want to take away from his proud moment. Once he gets his kudos I will add my 2c to this response

OK this machine I feel has been a disgrace for my ability to trouble shoot via this forum. That being said multiple issues made for 10 plus pages. We were all making progress and finally "coin in jam" stymied us all. The usual fixes I/O cards wiring etc, etc. did not work. I went to GOS's location loaded for bear. I had a tested and working board set with Run for the money loaded, multiple tested and working I/O card sets, monitor tested and loaded with proper game card, display card and a 5-5-2 / vfd display.
When I arrived, turned on the machine, booted all the way to "coin in jam " but I noticed that the reels spun backwards when the machine booted up. THAT IS A KEY ITEM.
I then installed my MPU and I/O cards. Booted and the same issue backward turning reels and coin in jam.
I have only encountered backward reels from two things. Bad cabinet I/O or bad display. We never touched the 5-5-2 display in the previous 10 pages. Guess what I replaced the display and the only thing I had to do was set the machine type and denomination. Machine is up and running.
Note: GOS has not worked with S2000s and had no idea the reels were turning in the wrong direction not his fault but we should have asked

Very happy it is working and thank you very much for the mountain of parts you gave me.
Rich

Isn't it amazing just how much trouble those 5-5-2 displays cause on the S2000 and Vision games.

ianmcneil68 · « **Reply #194 on:** November 07, 2017, 04:14:51 PM »

Great job, Rich. You are a trooper heading all the way out there. I have thought about this machine more than a few times since the posts stopped. Glad it has been solved.

GOS · « **Reply #195 on:** November 07, 2017, 06:00:21 PM »

THANK YOU - does not say it well enough - two heads always better than one - and this proves it - visual better than printed - 10 pages and 6 months!!! took less than an hour. Maybe when an issue arises - SEND PICTURE - maybe SEND VIDEO??

therockinelvis · « **Reply #196 on:** November 07, 2017, 06:12:37 PM »

This post probably holds the record for being the HOTTEST topic. So happy it is alive. Like you said, We can't see the machine. Pictures and video is the way to go. I would have liked to see your smile when it came to life. Bet it was a Kodak moment. Congrat's.

GOS · « **Reply #197 on:** November 07, 2017, 06:32:01 PM »

been working on machines for 40 years - never ever been stumped - always had tech help - nlg of course was always there - remember I bought this from an estate of guy who died trying to fix this (RIP) - not sure if it killed him - almost killed me. I always check the obvious -power cord - connections - all the usual checks - then the NLG - replacing every component - checking components - the one part who would have thought would be the issue. Guess you can free up some server space now.

Amechanic · « **Reply #198 on:** November 07, 2017, 07:24:14 PM »

I thought that maybe you had let the Hurricane that went they Florida take this machine.

GOS · « **Reply #199 on:** November 07, 2017, 07:33:16 PM »

machine was to mean for the hurricane
