Yes, if it went back to 61, then you're in the "61 loop".  Go ahead and use a RAM CLEAR chip if you have one.  The procedure to follow is at the bottom of the following webpage (steps 63-73):

Likely you are going to need to use the clear chip.

I did hear about one person breaking the loop by turning his machine off holding in the white button and turning the machine on. At worst it won't work but won't hurt the machine either way.

Ok I was able to successfully get the machine cleared and no more error codes - I'm able to add coins to the machine and play.

I'm not hearing any sounds at all, also coins played is at "3" until I put a coin in and it goes to "1" and so on.  After a coin is put in the SPIN REELS button lights up and I can spin.  The "Winner Paid" and "Credits" values never display anything.  I know the readout is working because I was able to see the error codes on it before.  Any ideas?

Ok, "WINNER PAID" does come on (see below), I just never see anything under "CREDITS".  Machine pays out immediately when it hits, does not seem to use the "CREDITS" at all.  I am guessing this is a configuration settings.  Also, still stumped on the sound, speaker appears to be hooked up, etc.

After doing a CLEAR I'm pretty sure you will need to get into the settings and put some settings back to the way you want it since the CLEAR reverts to default settings. There may be some sound settings you can change. Don't forget about the sound volume control on top of the mpu board, it is a little wheel, normally blue, sticks out above the metal mpu enclosure. It may need to be rotated to get the sound to come up. If all that doesn't help you can check the speaker with a meter to make sure it isn't blown or otherwise defective.

Some of the light bulbs could be bad, there may be a lamp test in the TEST/Diagnostics. Or you can swap bulbs around to see if that's why some things don't light up. The digital displays are hopefully ok, the credits display may be another setting in the preferences. The CLEAR may have changed the machine back to immediate payout instead of putting wins to credits. There are quite a few preference settings, you may need to walk thru them or take a look at a setup chart that lists them, I think I saw someone post that sometime back or that info may be in a "sticky note" at the top of this discussion board.

"Coins Played" will always show the coins played on the last game.  Your machine is behaving normally.

As you pointed out, Winner Paid is showing the correct amount when you have a winning combination.

You need to enable credit play in order for wins to be credited to the credit meter, rather than being paid out immediately from the hopper.  Assuming the handwriting on your chip is correct, you can download the PSR for your SP932 chip here.  You'll want to set the page zero option 5 to 2, player initiated non-credit.  That will make the game default to credit mode.  The "For Rookies" download (here) will likely come in handy, too, if you're not familiar with navigating the menu system.

As far as the sound, try moving the blue potentiometer (wheel) on the MPU board back and forth a number of times to clear off any possible oxidation, ending up with the dial near the middle of the limits.  Now see if you have sound.

Got the sound working, someone had unplugged the speaker.  I believe we also got the credit play working as well, you can push the "cash out" button before you play and this seems to toggle between immediately payout and credit payout.  If the button is lite up you get credit on wins, if it's not you get an immediate payout.  Not a big deal for me I just make sure that button is on and it does what I want.

Does anyone have any recommendation of a supplier of quarter sized tokens that would work in the machine?

No credits on the machine. If you push the self test switch until 5-x appears then push the spin reel button once (maybe twice) and it will change to 5-0, close door and then it will always be credits. Won't have to worry about pushing the cash out button. Unless the cash out switch is wired backwards then probably need 5-2.

How many tokens do you need?

Sounds like you've gotten all major issues fixed, good job. Don't forget that with your "Contributing Member" status you can check out the IGT download area and get any S+ manuals or other documents that might be helpful:

I was thinking a few hundred.
