Initial set up instructions for IGT tournament machines

[tatkins]

Hello All,
I just acquired two IGT Tournament machines as mentioned above at an estate sale.  Story is they were never used so the backup batteries are toast.  I replaced one of them and got passed a code 12, but now I don't know how to get it set up.  I've been reading thru this forum, lots of good stuff, but I didn't see what I need.
Can anyone tell me how to set them up and get them running?

Thanks.

Welcome to NLG!

 

Tournament-capable games can be operated like a normal machine, or in tournament mode.

The ST0041 chip in your machine is for a 2-coin Red White and Blue game.  In regular (non-tournament) mode, it has a payback of 94.675% and is equivalent to SS3285.

I have attached the PSR for your SP1253 chip to this reply, which contains the instructions on how to set up the tournament stuff.  If you're unfamiliar with PSRs, Ron's "for rookies" Excel file will be helpful -- you can find it attached to this post.  Let us know if you need further guidance.

Thanks so much.  I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of months.  I'll give it a try and let you know.
