Title: Question for everyone!
Post by: LUCKYDUCKY86 on December 20, 2017, 11:06:45 AM
Hello all! I am getting this machine for $40. The current owner says the machine powers on and the lights come on and that's about it. What do you think cold be wrong with it? Thanks you in advance!  :thank_you:

It's not out of gas, looks like he filled it. First thing I'd look at is the cmos battery on the MPU

And when you start fiddling with it, WATCH your feet of you open that lower door. It will fall straight down and try to break a toe or two!
My foot hurt for days...

Ot's heavy as hell to move, but yeah, for $40 you could scrap it and make your money back easy or just throw it out and not feel to bad

Did the seller ever say if it worked or not before? If it did then mostly I would think the battery on the MPU needs to be changed. Hopefully there is no acid damage to the MPU board if the battery's been dead for a long time, but if you have the room and a strong back, it's worth the $40.00.. Keep us posted...

$40 is a good buy ... cheaper than a GYM membership as it will be a chore to move.

When you get it - lets look at the coin in / winner paid for error codes and we can go from there.

This team will get it working !!

Lets hope it actually came with a MPU board.
Reminds me of a $40 Game Maker with no MPU board or bill validator or coin in assembly or hopper.
But the monitor worked. Well worth the money spent getting it up and running.

Bring a good dolly and either a hydraulic lift cart or three men.  They weigh a ton!

Alright! Got the machine! Looks nice. I changed out the battery on the bored. Cleared that code. Now I get a 61 code. Tried clearing it a bunch of times. It keeps on coming up still. What should I do?

Did you already follow the procedure fore going to 61-1, etc, etc? If so then clear it with a clear chip and then enable the BV again.

You have to have the belly door in also.

Where does one get a clear chip? Yes I went through the whole procedure many times. Always goes back to 0 and the 61.

Contact one of the vendors on the home page or member RB, he usually has the chips people need

Is there any option out there to convert the machine to a TITO? Instead of the coins.

Not for the S+

UPDATE! I should be getting the clear chip set in today! Here is the update. Cleaned her up! Looks nice now!

Looks nice. It's amazing how much crap comes off one. You should invest in a set of nice white buttons. Get some off a S2000, they swap out exactly. I pulled the front bumper off mine. It was full of spilled drinks etc.

I did a reconditioning on the leather. Looks a lot better then it did. My towels were BLACK! Any one have a set of buttons for sale?  :drool04:

There should be a "catch cup" inside the machine that allowed spilled drinks a place to drain into. Do you see it? If you don't see a plastic cup, look for a small holder and fabricate one to fit in.

I removed the one from inside my game. It was nasty. The drain tube and other items were gross.

Contact Ken at Ohio Gaming or Jim atidWest slots. Both will have 5 button sets at a reasonable price. Just let them know what you Button say. The main one is your max bet or bet 2/3 button. The other 4 should be the same, bet 1, service or change, spin and cash out. Get rid of those yellow looking buttons.

I was wondering why there was a nasty cup looking thing at the bottom of the machine when i got it... hahaha. And the buttons will be the next swap!  :agreepost:

To all watching this thread, time to carry it on in the S+ topic area where it belongs. There are problems and solutions coming out that could be helpful in the future so it's time to start a new topic in that forum to address those issues. Original post was solved long ago...
