New Member here who needs some help.
I’m a rookie interested in the hobby of bringing some of my favorite slot machine titles back to life for use in my home.
I presently have one working S+ Machine (Double Double Diamond).
I recently acquired a second S+ machine at an estate sale (Red White & Blue).
I have no history for this machine.
I have tried many of the suggestions I find in this forum along with New Life Games with no positive result.
The appearance is very clean.
It lights up when powered up and shows the 61 code.
I press the white test button for 3 seconds and get a ding sound followed by 61-1 code.
I then close the door and press the door latch down firmly.
I then turn the jackpot key, and nothing happens.
It shows 61-1 and will not get beyond that.
I have confirmed alignment of the door optics. (Using pencil marks on the door and the cabinet).
I have tested the optics and have no light emitting from the door side. ( I used my camera to do this on both machines and see the pulsating light on my good machine and no light on this one).
I then confirmed the correct optic is on the door side (Red & Black).
Then I swapped the optics between the 2 machines and the good ones do not work on this machine and the ones from this machine now work on the good machine. (again, used the camera test).
I have looked at all the wiring and found no obvious breaks, disconnects, etc.
I studied all plugs for loose pins and solid connections.
I removed the CPU tray and found the appearance to be much better than my working machine.
The Battery tested @3.20 volts.
I removed the CMOS prom for 10 minutes, then reinstalled, powered the machine, got the 61, pressed the white test switch for 3 seconds, got the ding and 61-1, closed and fully latched the door, then turned the jackpot key with no positive results.
I then removed the CPU from both machine’s and changed the Game, Reel, and CMOS proms between them. When I installed them, the Red White & Blue CPU worked in my good machine and the CPU from my good machine did not work in the Red White & Blue.
During this process I broke a pin off the Red White and Blue game prom. I ordered a replacement (SP731) and a clear chip ( IGTS +Clear).
When I received them, I proceeded to clear the system and start over with no positive result.
I then decided to swap the Jack Pot switches between the 2 machines
The one from the Red White & Blue works in my good machine and the one from my good machine does not work in the Red White & Blue either.
Any thoughts on how to get this issue resolved will be appreciated as I have exhausted my limited knowledge.
Question…. Taking into consideration what I have tried, why is the Jackpot Switch not functioning???
More Info: The Red White & Blue does have a bill validator. Could this component interfere with the function of the Jackpot switch ?
