Got home to night and there it was! A priority USPS package from Central Valley Slots
Thanks Roz for the super quick FREE shipping
I carefully removed the game and reel EPROMs from my old board and installed them in my replacement MPU that was "tested good" on Oct 7, 2014 with a brand new battery to boot! I hurriedly installed it into my old girl and flicked the power switch. Error 61 - okay hold down reset button for a couple of seconds...ding! Close the door, error 61_1 - okay turn reset key one time. No errors but nothing happens! My heart sank and as I was looking at my wife in despair the old girl fires up and starts spinning
Drop a quarter, ding, press spin - sounds like she used to! I didn't realize that she had been sounding so weak (or is that my overactive imagination?) Dropped quarter after quarter 'till she hit bar-bar-double diamond and racked off 40 lovely credits
I'm so happy and it's all because I found the wonderful people at NLG. Thanks to all of you for helping me get my baby spinning again. Now to replace all the burned out lights and non-working fluorescents. Hmm
maybe a progressive display...
Thanks everyone
