No error on the short spin??
Did you use a different SB chip in the other cabinet?
How short?

If you got a reel tilt probably not the SB. I did not know you were getting a tilt from your first post. Does it initialize from the boot OK? When do you get the tilt? MPU suspect.

Probably one of the chips in the reel circuitry.

The sections are labled if its a 3 reel machine you can swap parts from reel 5. I think there is a schematics in the download section.

It would be nice if someone could figure out what happens to the MPU to cause a short spin reel tilt. I had a board do this a few months back. I ended up having to swap out the MPU to fix the problem

I have never had short spin or I would be willing to give it a shot. Yes a lot of the parts are surface mount.

I have a board here that does it on the boot spin, and in game setup. I think it was reel 3, but not 100% sure. It I know where the surface mount chip was, and what were reels 1-5 I'd swap a part from 4 or 5 to fix this board. Dang MPU boards have gone up in price this past year.

the reel circuitry is all under the sound board on the 50x boards. i have repairs so many board its easy for me to do but not so easy to explain in text. i usually just swap all the components for that one reel from another board while i have the area heated with my re flow station anyway. i was unaware the prices were going up but its to be expected. every time i need parts i just take the part from a machine with junk cabinet or harness damage.


To clarify i have never had a board that quicke spined but i have had boards where one or more reels would not spin at all.

I might just swap board and wait for a snow day to repair but I too have a load of bad 50 boards plenty of spare parts , or give it to wife to fix, she  has done a dozen or so power supplys

The short spin is probably not the motor circuit. It would be in the optic read circuit. Kind of like when you have a broken optic tab on a reel it short spins the difference here is it's an electrical problem on the MPU.
Rainy day repair attempt in my book, boards are still cheaper than the time I would spend on repairs. One day that may not be the case as boards get scarce.

On some board problems I totally agree. I would never waste my time rebuilding battery leakage damage for door optics. But stuff like faild senet buffer chip that is easy takes no time at all. I also wait until i have maybe 10 or more boards saved up and do them all at once.
