Title: Questions about how to setup S+ machine without a hopper
Post by: ZZPOPZ on March 31, 2024, 09:18:20 AM

  Thanks in advance to all.
I just picked up another project machine and it doesn't have a hopper in it ,and after hours of going thru this website I find that is possible by putting a jumper wire into the hopper plug that is in the cabinet. I just want clarification of from which 2 holes in the cabinet plug. I have schematics that I got from this site , so pin# would help.

 Also is there anything else that I need to do?

I did put a hopper in from one of my other machines and it works,  but I don't have a spare hopper and I can't find one to buy at the moment. This tells me that the hopper connector and wiring to it is good.  I also need the belly glass for this game, if anyone has it available for sale..

The machine is a 2 coin Double wild  , Game chip # SP654   Reel chip SS6533  S+ quarter machine

I would think there would be more to it than just using one jumper wire to simulate a hopper being present in the machine.

I’m sure someone will be able to assist you with this, but in the meantime have you seen these posts?

If you notice the author on both the schematic and the post is member “badbaud”

Maybe you could contact him, or maybe he will chime in and show you exactly which leads to jumper.

After looking closer at his schematic maybe it is just one single jumper between terminal 8 & 9???  :Scratch-Head:
