511 and 239. I have to confirm about the Vs chip. What would occur with a wrong Vs chip?

Depending on which one it is it may not boot.
Reel Touch are very picky about the chips they must use. I'm trying to save you time, you need the combination that I provided to even begin to see if the top box is compatible.

Thanks for taking time to answer. I will make pics tomorrow and report back. I cannot wait to see my Tabasco work again.😁

I don’t have the version chip you’re referring to unfortunately. I have VS009iX0 and VS011IX1 and they don’t seem to work with my chips.

I forgot that you are not in the US, sorry.
The 009iX0 should be the correct one. I will have to test the set up with an international VS chip. It should work but I have had issues before with Reel Touch and international chip sets. Do you have any idea what country the machine was operating in? It make take me a few days to verify operation with the 9iX0.
I still think one of your chips is corrupt.

My machine was operated in Europe. Pm sent

Your mailbox is full!

Verifing the files on the chips I assume?
Do you have a chip reader? If you do the easiest way is by the check sum value for each one. If you can tell me what each chip's check sum is I can compare it to mine.
Also what country's money type do you plan on using? Euros? I made an international set up a while back for someone in Germany for a Kenny Rogers but I  never heard back from him on whether it worked or not.
When I sell Reel Touch hard drives I fully test them in a machine using the same chip set combinations so I can assure success.
I do not recommend trying to view the files on the HD because bad things usually happen to the hard drive software load. I know for sure if you try to review a bios 1 hd on a computer with a usb adapter it will render the harddrive useless in the machine so don't go there yet.
We need to get the bottom working before we see what's going on up top. I'm curious was the SB551 in the machine when you got it and how far does it boot when you use it. Do you know what SG chips were installed when you got it also would be helpful. As I stated before Reel Touch and international are slightly different.

I have read the chips on my programmer. I took pictures of the results. I’ll try to post them.

Solution found!  Thanks to Qbert, I could know that my SGs were corrupt. The issue came from that. I bought 2 new SGS and now the machine boots fine. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for Qbert patience and professionalism. 🙏
