Inquire about this: 1991 IGT Double diamond need some help, I have a guy wanting to sell it for $350.00. I don't think it's worth $350.00, so I have offered him $150.00. It has been on the internet for sale for a while now, so I have been trying to explain it isn't worth much.
Question:
Is the IGT slot machine worth restoring, or not.
Is it worth only $150.00 or am I wrong, if I am wrong what is it worth.

It's hard to tell by those photos whether it's just dirty with surface rust, or if it's pitted where it would need re-plating.
Has the seller stated if it works or not? I'm assuming no but some S plus fixes are quite easy! And it's a "nudge" machine which are much more fun than the regular 'ol Double Diamond.
I'd pay $200 for it, provided the machine just needs minor repairs and a good cleaning. Some parts though, like the MPU are getting more expensive to replace. I'd seen them on eBay for $30 but now the prices have gone up. We still have members here though that would give sell one at a fair price.

"Supposedly" works free play. So, it's a good candidate for a builder. It's a S plus?

Definitely needs a LOT of cleaning. ~~And it's missing the coin comparitor/wiring harness, etc., the chute to the hopper~~, the hopper, and coin tray. That's going to cost a few $$$'s
I'd check with Jim on parts cost/availability. There's a couple more vendors here that carry more parts as well.
Photos are of my S plus to show interior.

That is the old style cabinet that had no BV. It does have a coin mech.

It does have a coin chute. What does the mpu board look like? Hard time finding a replacement for it for under $100 these days.

Oops!

I see those parts now. I think I was just focusing on the rust!

Yes the rust is bad. The power supply and motherboard may be in very bad shape too.

I will take care of it, it will be just like new condition. I have had a whole lot worse.
It powers up.

We're always good, I'm starting the tear down process now. I must be crazy to start working on a basket case again. The only good thing is I have 5 machines with all my notes on them. That makes things go easier having references on parts, cleaners, wiring, etc.

I have Molex connectors, the tools, etc. for the older Bally machines. What I need is a source for Molex connectors for the IGT. Anyone can help me out with a link would be awesome.

How in the world do leaves get in a slot machine? lol

On the plus side, your MPU looks fine...you better stop the corrosion to the floor-mounted motherboard, and the power supply before they get any worse.

Complete restoration of the slot machine. I am in the process of disassembling the slot machine. Everything is going to be completely cleaned, serviced, replaced, repaired.

Takedown.
