Looking to buy a mostly-gutted upright S2000 cabinet with a 16" top. I plan to build it out to my own specs, so I'm not interested in the game kit, board, BV, hopper, etc. However, I do want a three-reel shelf and preferably a 5-button deck. Cabinet color doesn't matter, but must be chrome front (not gold). If possible, I would prefer to pick-up in the Dayton/Cincinnati/Columbus, Ohio region but could travel further for the right deal.

The schematic,  what is the issue with that? Remember your BV worked till you received a different MPU? Maybe the dipswitch settings are not set properly to enable the BV.

I have a issue.... My J16 plug is 18  Yours is 24.

The J2 is spot on. 

This is becoming a nightmare. 

  for helping me with the wiring.

I live in Southern California and bought a old Johnson Fare Box to restore.  The drawer on the front which is "Suppose" to pull out will not come out.  I was referred to some who lives close to me and they quit trying to help with when they got frustrated and could not get the drawer out after having it for 6 month.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, the glass top has been removed, so it's just the base.  Here is a picture of what will not open... 

I’d like to give an update because I did get the machine up and running for a while before I assume it’s the board and send it out.

So I replace the MPU fan and cleared the Ram like I’ve done a dozen times I was able to get a screen which at this time, only said verify all options before putting machine play and gave me an OK button to push which open the game play.

Was able to play the game video poker for a while until it again locked up with the low battery message.

With any of this new information point to a problem other than the board?

Is sending the board out the solution or is it just a possible solution?

Again, thanks for all the help.
