This thing just keeps getting more and more weird.
Taking Mark's suggestion, I decided to check out the Top Box (haven't removed the Award Glass at this point yet) to check for a Candle Harness and was surprised to find some sort of ancient Progressive System up there.
Guess I'll carefully remove all of that stuff and see if I can spot any signs of a Candle Harness in there somewhere.
See photo of this crazy looking contraption. First time for me anyway, some of you more experienced Techs may recognize it.
I'll also look into seeing if I can't somehow install a more standard S+ Reel Glass Display with the Insert Coin, Denom and Coin Accepted Lights along with the Reel Glass to match.
Stay tuned for more updates.
