Wondering why you removed the battery holder?

Wondering why you removed the battery holder? 

My clarification, apologies, removed the battery, installed a battery holder. 

[David Walz]

More parts reinstalled, labeled parts. Reset key switch, volume control, line filter, bus bar.

It's looking really nice. You truly are bringing new life to an old game.

Thanks, I take my time and eventually it comes together. I post photo's for other people who may have a S+ looking for a reference.

The candle is a important part of the machine, it helps diagnose any issues with the system. It's Kinda like Morse code.
I sourced it through Tim, Sunrise Slot Machine.

I've sourced a coin tray and the power cord from Alan at K-LAR slots, its being shipped. 


The old power cord looked like it went through the blender.

Working on the buttons, what a mess, the three small ones are working great, the two large ones are all screwed up. The plastic fingers just crumbled on the two large ones, and I need too locate replacements.
I have one wire that is just kicking my ass (see picture), I don't see it anywhere in my pictures, It's a green/yellow wire with a pin connector. 

I ordered up a set of buttons, however  they just won't work, the connections are huge, the buttons are ugly.

On to cleaning up the encoder. The encoder had a $1 set up, I changed it to 25¢. I don't know if this will work, but I will give it a shot.

David Walz,

 The green/yellow wire will go to the silver stud/pin on the button.  I have attached a picture of yours showing the location.

You would normally have to:
1). Change the black plastic encoder coin guide to one that has the guide to force quarters to the left, so they fall between the infrared beams of the ABC optics.
2). Swap the coin head on the door to where the coin slot is smaller.
3). Install a larger diameter wheel shelf on the coin hopper plate where the quarter would sit higher up to be read by the hopper optics, and re-adjusting the wheel knife to sit on top of the shelf.

Yes, it was a $1 slot machine in a former life. It's been reincarnated to a quarter.

I changed out the quarter encoder guide, however I don't know if the electronics are going to function.
The quarter coin block is coming in the mail from Lisa a forum member.
Alan from K-LAR is getting me a quarter coin comparator ready to go, as we speak.
The quarter hopper is being sourced from Jim at Midway Slots, it should be ready to plug in when I receive it.

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Getting the garage cleaned up for the next phase of the machine.....

As the saying goes, you've come a long ways baby.

Just an update on the slot machine, and specifically the coin system.

When I purchased this train wreck, "supposedly" its on free play, no coins needed to play. I have no idea what it does since the 110v cord is shredded. What I determined is that it was set up on a Ike dollar coin.

The coin assembly was obviously damaged, so I decided to start over with a sourced quarter block, I rebuild the acceptor to a quarter, sourced a quarter coin comparator, sourced a quarter hopper. Easy peasy.
