How to remove - check and replace a WBA-11-SS?
« on: November 18, 2020, 04:28:41 PM »
I'm selling my SGT Star Spangled Sevens to a guy - and he is asking me to help get the bill acceptor up to date to read new bills.


from the top of the bill acceptor it has a label saying its a WBA-11-SS


How do I  get it out of the machine, so that I can figure out how to either upgrade or replace it?


Next - where can I even buy a compatible bill accepter that will take the new bills?   Looking on ebay some guy is selling roms that says it will allow it to take the new bills - but everywhere else on forums -- looks like I need a new head unit and transport. 


I am outta my realm/league here and could use any and all help possible.  I can see where the control board is for the bill acceptor its not the multi molex its just a single black connector - so I know where the rom needs to go once I have it


Thanks! (side note a used unit that accepts the new bills is totally acceptable if it works - so if you have a spare im in the market)  I can burn my own epproms if someone has them to share if thats all I need.

Pull out the WBA and flip it over. You can then tell for sure if it's has a flash or eprom in it.

Sounds like the machine is a s2000. The model makes a difference on the IDO and latest release for the machine.

Bally takes IDO 003. There should be an update for the new 100 for it.

In the front and at the bottom (below where the bills go in) between the two black vertical plastic pieces is a flat bar. Put a couple of fingers on the bar and pull it towards you and should pull out.

you are some fine gents!


OK now that she is out:


the rom says: ID-003 V.3.10-20
WBA-11 Bally $20


so -- does this mean if I change just this rom I can get it to take the new bills? (at least 5/20's I dont care about anything bigger - but if I can do all that would be great!

You will need a 12 or 13 transport for newer bills & 4 way acceptance. The harness must be changed to match. Your head will work on a 12/13.
Quality doesn't cost. It pays.

OK - so found a wba-13-ss transport on ebay for $20.


But it doesnt say anything about the rom or ID type? do those need to match? and how hard is it to find a connector / make one? similar to an arcade jamma connector I would assume -- recommend a website to purchase from?

Yes you need ID003 V3.80-32i or 3.83-42i. I have a few transports. I don't know what your harness looks like. I have some for IGT machines. It's the one on back of the WBA frame that needs to be replaced. Post a picture of yours. You should be able to remove the whole frame with just a few screws.

What's the link to the one on eBay?  Not meaning to be rude but there are people here that sells stuff for slots. Ebay didn't offer you any help to fix the issue with the machine.

Dude WBA10/11 uses a different connector than 12/13. It is possible to convert a 10/11 to a 12/13 by replacing the cpu board and transport harness. Once again, post a picture of your harness so we will know for sure what you have.

I'm not close to the shop to verify but that connection means it uses 1 meg of ram. Someone will either correct me or let you know the correct info. The connector on the left allows for 4 meg which means your more likely to get the bill acceptance for all bills in circulation. I believe you will have to stay with the last release for the 1 meg or you need to change the harness to the one on the left and get another transport that has the 4 meg memory. So if you take a picture of the pigtail that comes out of the back of the plug on the right then someone will be able to help more than I can in getting you what you need.

Could you post a picture of the pigtail for the connector that the bill acceptor plugs into. All we know is that you have a Bally machine. Behind the bill housing is where you will see how the pigtail is connected.

Or you can buy the one on eBay but I think you'll be back.
