Just a friendly note for those jumping into the S3000 swimming pool...
Running Family 20+ ASCENT (AVP 4.0+ boxes, etc); Don't forget your "Blue Kangaroo" DIAGUNV00103 (and up). I believe we're up to DIAG113 (2018) for the latest and greatest "300" series OS and Framework. It is required to load new games, etc.
Your good ol "Family 14 machine" Ekey7's are still required, so hold on to them!! $$$
NOTE: AVP 4.0+ have "security" BIOS in them. So if you're buying a "spare " 4.0 box, be SURE it has the BIOS already in it. An IGT Security BIOS enabler is needed if the BIOS is missing and you do not have an original one.
FYI: New game kits run about $1500 and up from IGT.....
Home Gameroom Market: Patience Grasshopper, Patience. 2nd hand Dealers are not "gutting" these yet, thus the reason kits are hard to find at the moment. Exporters are selling these as quick as they can get them. So until the export market fizzles, we'll have to wait a while for the "cheap kits" to appear.
