need help with jumper wires for hopper.

[Kellyoc]

hello everyone let me start by saying this is a great great website. with that said I need help lol im still learning to navigate the site I need help finding a picture showing where to put the 2 jumper wire on a bally S6000 slot machine for bypassing the hopper. I just got the machine and when I was moving it around and cleaning it etc... one of the wires popped out I don't have a clue where it was. the previouse owner didn't have them taped or anything so it wasn't hard for it to just pop out. any help would be great thank you.

I would appreciate a little more detail on jumper wires to bypass the hopper.  I would like to leave the hopper out and add jumpers to the receptacle where the hopper plugs in and expect it to operate normally. Is this possible?

put jumper wire from 1st hole on 2nd row to 2nd on 3rd row
jumper from 2nd hole on 2nd row to 3rd hole on 3rd row.
Hope it helps, Ford

Thanks Ford, it did help.  I bought this machine for $50, not working, knowing the previous owner had worked on it.  I replaced the onboard battery and did a good cleaning of the coin in system and it seemed to be working fine except ... alter playing it or just siting for about a half hour or more. it would start spitting out 30..3, 30..4, etc. and some coins and the only way to clear it up was to turn it off overnight.  The next day, it worked fine for about a half hour.


I wanted to run it without the hopper to see if the problem was in the hopper or the machine itself and it looks like the problem is in the hopper.  I took it apart and cleaned the coin mechanism and the coin counter but the problem persists.  I think I may have a replacement pc board for the hopper.  I'll try that to see if that helps.  The failure has all the bookmarks of a overheating problem but everything looks ok.  I'll let you know.  Jim
