Players Edge plus slant top manual

[newkid3]

Hello all, anyone know where I can find a slant top players edge plus pdf manual? What all manuals do I need to cover everything on this slant top? Anyone have one they can post or send me? I have rebuilt the monitor and fired the machine up and it kinda works. Seems to be no sound. I was playing it and the first time I hit a winning hand the hopper moved a little bit and then came up with a coin out error of some kind. I am hoping to find a manual to get this thing working 100%. Thanks

Remove the hopper and remove any coins jammed in the escalator chute.
The clearance of the escalator track is narrow and one bent coin can cause it to jam.
When removing coins from the track be careful not to scratch the track, it needs a smooth surface.
A light oil on the head of the escalator pivot arm also helps coins to pass through smoothly.

Badbaud, thanks for the reply.  I will get to the hopper as soon as I can. Any idea on a manual or any other documentation I might need for it? Have to figure the no sound issue out also.

Keep in mind that you can only use the coin size that the hopper escalator is designed for.  If that's a quarter escalator, only quarters may be used -- not "quarter-sized" tokens, not nickels, nothing else, or it will jam.

Sound volume is controlled by a small blue potentiometer wheel on the edge of the MPU board.  Although there could be other reasons you're not getting sound, the easiest thing to start with is to just rotate the knob back and forth a number of times to help clean off any oxidation within the device, and then leave it near the middle to ensure that you have it dialed to a point where you should hear sounds.  If that doesn't do it, post back and we can get into some more troubleshooting.  I have added an arrow to your picture to show you where that volume control is.

I got the machine working 100%. Well real close. Really not that much wrong with it. The hopper had not feed enough quarters up the shoot yet and would time out before it filled up and started spitting them out. This is a slant top so it has to push the quarters up. So I had to open and close the door a few times to get it filled up. The sound not working was the speaker was bad. Someone at sometime had pulled the speaker terminal out some and it pulled the little wire out of the speaker. I found an old TV speaker the exact same size with the same mounting holes. Fit perfect. I just got a couple of things to figure out now. One is the white light on top stays on all of the time. Also what the red square light is on the panel. It stays lite up all the time even if I press on it. Then I am missing the light strip or what ever it is that goes under the left panel that says 1 to 5 coins and 25 cents. See the pics.

I got the white light and the red button figured out. The red button is the change button that turns on the white change light. Someone put the switch on wrong. They only had the switch on half way. So the button when pushed did not hit the micro switch. Now on to the missing light sockets or what went there.

It's a small fluorescent light assembly that clicks into place, held by that piece of metal that is sticking out from the white plastic housing. Probably difficult to find an original assembly for sale at this point.

If you're electronics savvy at all, I'd suggest just adding on some cheap white LED strips in there pointed up towards the glass to illuminate it.

Thanks for the replies. I will probably go with the LED light strip. I don't think it would even be worth looking for the original part. I don't think I could find one anyway.
