Title: BB1 Video to Reel
Post by: Eddiie on May 28, 2020, 09:00:35 PM

I am starting to acquire parts to make a BB1 upright into a reel machine.  Got reels, shelf, controller, credit display, progressive meter, SPN hub, SPN Matrix controller.. What else is needed and how does it all plug in?

Missing the 20 line / coin in part.   Is there a different one for a one line, 3 credit reel game?

The SPN hub has power, do any of these things get its power from the SPN cable?   

Does anyone have a picture or pin out of any power cables needed,  like the 4 pin one on the credit display?

Is there a reel manual that would cover this in the file section?

No manuals regarding conversions as they were never condoned by the manufacturer.  Most people go the other way (reel to video), so what you are doing is relatively new territory as it is not often done.  I bought a bb1 reel to just keep it as reel.  There are several diferent things between my reel and video cabinets, even the position of some switches changes due to door hardware differences.  I would say start doing the conversion and then if you get stuck somewhere, ask for photos.  That's the way I would do it.  Among one of the rather unique things is that the speaker grill and the speaker are mounted about 1 inch lower on a reel machine than on a video machine.  There are spacers used on the speaker assembly to mount it lower.
