The 4 digit SMI number is on the two chips on one end. Look at your reel motor mounts and see what SMI number is on them. If the numbers don't match then you have the wrong chips.

The SMI on your chips is 5962 and the SMI on the one reel is 9636.

That could be your problem.

No accusing but I have encountered sold machines that were slapped together with random parts where the reels were a mixture and the chips did not match.

But, hey, the reels spun so the customer thinks they have a good machine.

The 5962 SMI lists as a 3 coin buy blazing 7's or a Roman Rewards machine.

I could not find a 9636 SMI in my list but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, or it could mean the reel was built in the 36th month of 1996.

It could be a bad cash can switch or a bad cash door switch that is causing your BV not to work.

If you can get to the switch wires use the attached to eliminate the need for a cash door or cash stacker.

We have some extra long needle nose to reach the spade terminals on the switches to get them off.

If you can follow the wires back you will find they are connected to the long single row connector on the BV side mount board and can cut and tie them together there but you still have to disconnect the wires from the switches.

Maybe that is the mis-wire that is causing the BV not to work?

Pardon me if I am just being ignorant, but I've never heard of the reel SMI having to match the SMI on the chip. If this was the case, no one could ever successfully swap games in a machine without purchasing the coordinating reels. I know many people have bought and sold Bally kits that did not include the reels.

The SMI number on the chip is not for Monte Carlo. I would suggest a WTB ad for the correct chips (U18 & U20).

I would not believe that the reel SMI would have anything to do with the game chips but thats my opinion.
