Decals.

There is still one available on offer up. It is a casino Royale one. Not sure if it’s the one you are referring to.

63mini,

I was able to source a strut that was very close. I ordered them from a strut shop that got them with a threaded rod end and the correct ends. It’s been so long I can’t remember who I got them from. I remember the threaded rod end was what gave me the adjustment needed to get them to fit perfectly.

The hopper error lights you mentioned are actually holes in the metal plate behind the error legend paper that are allowing the florescent display light to bleed through. System errors are indicated as a number via the "WIN METER" and typically the candle lights will blink if a error exists.

So that being said if there are no errors displayed and no candle lights lit,  the main door is closed and locked, the "INSERT COIN" light should be lit and the machine is ready for play. The "INSERT COIN" light is lit? Try inserting a coin and see if it registers...the "COIN ACCEPTED" light will turn on (if the bulb is good).

No "INSERT COIN" light? Check the bulb first, you can check it with an ohm meter or swap with any of the bulbs on the door display panel. If the bulb is okay and still not lit then we have a permissive not being made. Could be the door lock micro switch or white "cherry" switch located just below the yellow reset switch.

While your your checking bulbs, check the others on the door as well.

Post a photo of the coin comparator and the photo eye(s) below it. The LED should stay lit, we may have a bad connector or a wire shorting.

 

 

WOW! Finally, some really useful information. Thank YOU!
Now......would you by chance have have a 9717 or 9716 SMI chip?
I also need the U3 chip for the BONUS sound board for this machine.
