Hello I just bought an 1988 cei hot slot and I think the #1 wheel optic is bad it's error code is e4-d than I moved it to #2 and error code was e4 -dd so I think it's the optic eye does anyone have one for sale thanks for any info Ryan
-
I was wrong it's not the optic eye #2 reel strip is for wrong game so if anyone knows how to get a new reel strips # 40317 they are the bar seven's Thanks for any info.

On many slot machines the reel strips are not all 3 identical and you have to have them installed so that strip #1 is on reel #1, etc. Are you sure they are installed properly? You might have the correct strips but someone may have switched the reels or the strips around at one time.

Thanks for the info the strips I have are labled #1 40317 #2 40318 #3 40317 my books says code e4 -d means reel #2 has a bad strip or wrong strip. I'm thinking someone changed #2 strip to sell the machine I just bought it the other day hoping it would be an easy fix but I may never find strips for her

Could be that, or maybe not, often a machine will have a different strip not like the others because the symbols on it are supposed to be different. In fact, some machines have all 3 strips different. You will need to find out from someone familiar with your machine, or look at another machine like yours to know how the strips should be. Does the manual say anything about the strips? It could be that your machine has a wrong strip, but that error could be caused by other things also. Can you contact the seller about it, see what he says? Was it sold as a supposed working machine?
Have you checked that the reel #2 strip is installed correctly? The strip has to be on the reel a certain way, with the top edge of the strip starting at the home position of the reel.
The error you are getting might be from a dirty optic sensor, or a missing sensor clip on the reel. Look at the reels that are working ok, see how the optic sensor detects the rotation of the strip. There will be something on the rotating reel that the optic sensor "see" each time the reel comes around to its home position. On some machines there is a little plastic clip attached to the reel and it passes by the optic sensor. But on your machine it may be done a different way. Post photos of your good reel that isn't giving an error, showing the edge of the reel where it goes past the optic sensor and maybe we can see how it is done.

This is the reel strip it reads the silver tabs all 3 reels are the same must be something with those little silver tabs here are some pic's
-
The silver tabs are probably reflective, the sensor has a light transmitter and a light receiver. When the silver tab goes past the optic sensor the silver reflects the transmitted light back to the optic receiver and the machine knows that the home position on the reel just went by. That's how the machine knows when to stop the reel at a certain position so the desired symbol is on the payline.
Does the reel#2 that is giving the error have its silver tabs in good condition? Do you think the strip on reel#2 is installed correctly? Did you try swapping the optic sensor from reel#1 with the one at reel#2 to see if the error changes to reel#1?

If that is what's wrong you can prove it by putting a strip with number 40317 into the reel #2 position and putting the strip # 40318 onto reel #1 or reel #3. The error should change to whichever reel position you put the 40318 strip. You may not have to move the strips themselves if you can simply move the reels around.

Hey - another person here recently posted about a CEI Hot Slot that he just bought. Maybe you could contact him and see what strips are on his machine, find out if they are all 3 the same number? Here is the discussion thread he had:
