SG-106 Draw Poker

[Glennoj]

What have I got here. Can't find this model.

[Glennoj]

Anybody?. SG-106 I'm not finding info. Found SG103 and sg108. I also can't find the belly glass or top artwork. I did however learn alot of history. But it's got a bad board on RCS monitor. Reverse sync, not led replaceable. Need any information anyone willing to share. I bought a siecoma manual. Glad to share.

We have many manuals available to contributing members in our download section.

A-1 Supply one of the companies Si Redd bought out. This is pre Fortune. Is a mutt.
They had sg-103,106 and 108.
Sircoma poker. It does have a Bally coin encoder on it

Yup SG-106 bally coin detect on it.
There is absolutely nothing on nothing about this.
Monitor is EGA. I contacted the company and actual
Spoke to an older guy that was involved. But,
No schematics, again nothing.
My problems were in the power supply.
I'm running on a computer one minute using a stand alone
Board for the -5vdc. Needs 5vdc, -5vdc and 12vdc to run.
Mine comes in at serial number 2 oddly.
But to answer the question it is LED replaceable. Gotta be EGA. Here's proof.

So I ask you guys, what's a game like this worth?
It took me only 3 years to get it working.

Depends who you ask.
This thing is like a gramophone to an audio file it’s worthless. To a collector it’s pretty special.

I can get a free download on my phone that will out play this thing. My 20yr old would opt for that.

If you asked $1200 and put it in a store; $ for $  the uninformed would buy the GK for less. My wife would opt for that.

If you consider the labor of love you put into this I would say leave it in your will for someone special who Would appreciate it for what it is and who it came from.

So, the million I was hoping for from IGT is out of the question.
Lol. Seriously part wise I have under 200.00 including buying it broke.
Labor I got thousands of hours that I know I'll never see.
But what I did get was far beyond money and a good payout.
I got the history of poker, I got those thousands of hours doing something productive. I've stretched my brain thinking.
The research, the together apart together apart failing for 3 years till last week. That feeling.
I've got a smile. I never gave up. And in the end I did out what I knew I could do.

Maybe it does mean more to me then a price can put on it.

Remember you only fail if you give up.

Ps. I'll still take a million. Hear me IGT. 1 million.

Hey - it’s #2 they may want it for their museum.
I don’t think even Ford owns #1 of their model T

On the other hand I can PM you my details so you can will it to me. 
Unfortunately you are likely 1/2 my age so I won’t  get my hopes up.
