How can I be sure what model I have between a 7000 and 7200? Is it from the small sticker on the CPU board? The Model and serial number on the case don't seem to align to this nomenclature.
Thanks

An easy way to tell is how the cash can is removed. If it is an upright slot and you remove the cash can from the side of machine, it's a 7000. If you have to open (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=24144.0#) door to remove, it's a 7200.

7000 and 7200 have basically the same game board. the upgrades consist of changing the mains (M-O/M-1) and graphics chips (G-0,G-1)
the game chips on the game maker use 512 and 1mb chips, (chip size depends upon the complexity of the game) each P- chip on the game maker board represents a game, unless you are using a dedicated game like cash encounter or platypus etc. or game magic game which uses a hard drive.
since the game maker doesn't have a checksum eeprom in the motherboard, you could have and change out separate boards without the machine recognizing the difference.
if you just want to change out games, you would pull and replace the game chip(s), then insert a clear chip in socket p-10 clear and reset options.
Also an 8000 board will work in the Gamemaker as well. These 8000 boards are for the Game Magic and there is no sounds capability on them since the sound comes from a CD system.
