Here is my board stickers and a pic of my resistors for the reels. There are some jumper wires.

Rick is correct, even the "over touted" 504B will have some static. You can try cleaning your SIMM card (small sound card) contacts (the brass ones at the edge) with a pink pencil eraser. They can get dirty and give some static. It might help a little...

Tried cleaning and no luck. I am dumbfounded..... On a side note CVslots I tried buying your backlit reel conversion kit and it said I had to call for availability and wouldn't let me buy. Do you have them for sale?

Our inventory is real time, so we must be out. If I put anymore sets together, I will update the inventory and let you know. This is a really good seller for me, so it's hard to keep in stock. Thanks for checking!

Looks like your board was factory repaired. Yes, even on a B board there can still be a small amount of static, but the level youdescribe is unusual. Did you try any of the other things I suggested?

tomstark22 · « **Reply #45 on:** October 05, 2014, 07:29:10 PM »

Well its fixed..... The last time I pulled it all apart and cleaned it again like Cowboy suggested and switched back to 47 ohm resistors and whamo! The static is now only heard if you put your ear up to the speaker. The vent fan is louder! I then took the speaker pods off and did the resistor mods in them so you didn't see any splice work in the original harness in the top box. Knocking these wants off the list quickly this weekend. One question I had came after I received a message today. Would it be easier to find a Haywire kit in a round top? If so how hard and where do you find a different top box to swap into? Or am I just better being patient and searching for a 9 inch top to fit my current setup? Also, Thanks CVSlots for confirming your inventory. I was just getting excited!

I disconnect the fan as well. Mine has been off for 3 years and I've never had a problem. Your mileage may vary. Haywire Deluxe will be ultra difficult to find. The Diamond versions may be easier to find, but not by much. Complete kits with backlit strips could be tough these days. Not to be had on the cheap either. Seems like 9" are easier to find compared to round top and 16" top.

Top boxes are available. Let me know if you strike out and I will see what I have coming up (you just never know who could be de-headed/top boxed...

Sorry about the backlit reel kit...we all tried to be the cheapest, and obviously, I was one of the contenders!!

tomstark22 · « **Reply #48 on:** October 05, 2014, 09:23:40 PM »

Really no biggie cvslots. What does a top box go for? Are there ones to match my current cabinet?

CVslots · « **Reply #49 on:** October 06, 2014, 10:00:12 AM »

Tom, I'd have to know what cabinet you have to know if I have one to match??? All of mine will be shiny black. They run about $100 with shipping ($30-50, depending on where you are located).

tomstark22 · « **Reply #50 on:** October 06, 2014, 06:06:10 PM »

I am in Phoenix but my cabinet is (I think) Birds eye maple? I love the look so I guess that's out of the question.

Harvs · « **Reply #51 on:** October 06, 2014, 06:39:57 PM »

That cabinet is gonna be tough to find a top for (that matches the same run of laminate, hue).., But would look GREAT with a Cigar kit!! I have been on the hunt for a RT cabinet like that for a year!

tomstark22 · « **Reply #52 on:** October 06, 2014, 06:48:54 PM »

That's why I picked it for my first Newer style slot. I loved that it wasn't a dark cabinet. Figures that I really like a game that isn't a dime a dozen.

Actually, It should not be. That was called "bird's-eye" on your formica outer-trim. Was quite common and popular in casinos. That being said There should be some that can match up a top box for you if that is what you want. Shit, I even have slot bases that match these and one machince still left in the mothballs.

tomstark22 · « **Reply #54 on:** October 06, 2014, 07:55:28 PM »

Well damn, 777! Why can't you be my neighbor so I can barter with you for your unused goods!

My wife's sister lives there in Mesa/other area but that does not help things-

I am in Mesa too. Maybe I can sneak in to Thanksgiving birthday and get added to the family so I can send you my Christmas list!

What???!!??? And you can't get her to go pick up even one little bitty slot machine?

Tom,
I have to agree with Harvs about taking a long time to find the right Top that matches your machine.I had a couple of square top machines that I changed out the tops to RT machines....It was easy to take one top off and install the new one.I went to a local countertop shop and ordered the laminate from them in 4'x8' sheets(they could order just about every style and color you could ask for) Stripped the machine of the old laminate and installed the new stuff....If you have ever done laminate on a countertop,its pretty much the some concept,hardest part was doing the roundtop..but found using some motorcycle tie downs (nylon)straps it held the laminate in place on the curve until it dried.
Just an idea.
Eric

Well I am chugging along and things are coming together. I received and installed multimedia lite board and a couple of simms and they are working and resistors installed to killed the buzz. Sent Board to Foster for the TITO work. Also scored a backlit set of reels local and installed them. Using I/O test they light up but not during game play. Then I read some more and getting the vibe that the sb100095 chip in my wild cherry is the problem. Seems to be domino effect. Every time I upgrade I have to spend more to get it to actually work. Grrrrrrr..... So if the chip is the problem what do I switch to?
