ok... here goes.... my treasure tunnel will initialize, rotate the reels, then get stuck on " NOW SELF TESTING WAIT FOR A WHILE" and stay there (forever if I let it).
Now for the fun part- When it's cold outside the game will go through the test then it will say RAM DATA WRONG- TURN RESET KEY ONCE" when I do this it says "TURN RESET KEY TWICE", then the game will load and fire right up. I can leave it on and play it for as long as I want to, but if I turn it off I'm back to square one.
It doesn't get cold in Tx so I won't be able to play it much if I have to wait on the weather....
In my infinite
wisdom I came up with the idea of placing a wrapped ice pack over the chipsets in the board for 5-10 minutes. No worries I wrapped it to keep moisture off the components. Remove it? And viola! The game cycles through to the RAM DATA message and I can fire up the game and play it. I've had success with this method several times to get to play the game, but I would rather find a solution instead of an ice pack patch... any thoughts? Suggestions? "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!"
On another note.... Does anyone know where I can acquire the wiring harness for the WBA 13 SS validator for this machine?
Also looking for a bill guide for the WBA 13 that fits this devil
UPDATE- I now have all the wiring schematics for Sigma Games and built the wiring harness to run the WBA Bill Validator so that work now. I will be building more if anyone needs this particular harness, complete with the correct plugs to fit original connections in the machine. Still looking for a bill guide though... I have adapted an IGT bill guide to work in the machine. It ain't perfect but it works!
Thanks
