Title: Making duel screen from a 5 reel
Post by: slots-4-u on December 19, 2014, 12:02:20 PM
Going to try and make a V15/15. Started with a 5 reel Alpha. Don't know if it will work but going to try.

What kind & where did you get power splitter?

I bought it at Office Depot. It plugged in the top box so it comes on with machine. In order to get the side and bezel lights to work I had to get a different bezel board with the 16 and 12 pin outlets.

Mine is an Alpha 2 video topper on an Alpha 1


Absolutely pure awesomeness! I want to find a video topper now! How come in one picture the side LED wasn't on?

That was before I got the new multi port bezel board. The side lights stay on and the super candle and front bezel come on during a good win.

Deck panel came @ noon today. Did quick setup & have some games working on lower screen. Now I'll have to figure out on hooking up upper screen.

Wasn't there hardware and cabling already going to the top screen anyway, since there was already a screen on top?

I moved wires to lower monitor to make sure it worked. Either way have to get 2nd working.

Ford,  Is it a pwr. issue?.  If so I sent a new harness to pwr. a regular 20inch monitor etc. for the lower.  Plugs into the spare pwr. port on right lwr back plane (there are 2-spare pwr ports).  Also you have to use the vid. outputs on the dual vid. card, not the brain box.  All this being said you prob. already knew all this!.  Let us know what you need to do and we can get you going.  Thx,  B.

I had to piss around some more before I go. Guess I'll be late. Have both working. What I need is power like in picture. I think it's 12 volt. Swapped from upper to lower monitor & they both work with different picture. Need one of those & it will work. Now I have to go.

Went to reprogram again to get all games working. Keep getting games disables. Have shot of screen. Don't remember how I set them last time. Here is a poor video of when I had it working.

A little black paint or plastic button caps on those silver screws and it will look like it came that way. Very COOL. And the 2 different screens have a dual hard drive running them?

Yep, have to do something with bezel around monitor. Been hashing a few different things around. Not sure yet what I'll do with it.
Have 1 gig mpu with duel video card & 2 gig memory.

Barry had told me that I could make my topper play other things. Like performances of me. It was way over my head.

It got a work out today. Touch screen on monitor stopped working. swapped monitor. Have to look for another touch screen. Maybe should look @ putting a 20 inch in now.
