I fired up my S+ and Vision tonight, hadn't turned them on in 4-5 years. Work and life got in the way, and since I'm moving in a couple weeks or a month, I figured I'd better find out where I was at with them.
Had to replace batteries in both machines, lucky the Vision was a 500 board! I didn't need a replacement for the 3.6v battery that was growing hair on the main board, just unsoldered the old one and slid in a new CR2032, cleared the RAM errors, and away she went! The S+ was a bit tougher, had to solder in the new battery (after I finally found the one I bought 4 years ago and had put in a safe place so I wouldn't lose it! :rotfl: ), but the progressive isn't working and it's throwing a C1, so it needs a new battery too!
It felt good to throw a few hundred credits on them and pull the handles a few times! :applause:
10 Attaboys for the first responder that can tell me what's wrong with this picture! :Scratch-Head: :Crazy:

There are no ear speakers on the vision machine and there does not appear to be any way to change the denomination on it although it is set up for 5 or 10 cent play. Sticker says 25 cents.
-
Sticker also says play 2 coins. 3 coins played in the display. Looks like play 2 credits on the large button.
-
other than what was mentioned above, the progressive number looks different, and the reels in the vision look different, looks like the red seven reel is from a chainsaw and toasters reel set ???
the original vision series machine did not have "ear type speakers" they were built in to the same strip as the molding. there was a grill and some sort of plastic funnel that sent the sound out to the player.

Visions did not come with ear speakers, those were on the S2000. I looked into upgrading these, but there's a lot of work to be done to retrofit.
You're correct about the denomination, I don't have a $ .05 denomination sticker yet. :cool_thumb_up: 5 Attaboys for you, sir!
There's a bigger issue than that, though... :Crazy:

DING DING DING! We have a winner! They are indeed the wrong reel strips in the Vision game, those are my C&T strips. The DD strips are visible on top of the Vision cabinet.
The issue with the progressive is due to the dead battery mentioned above, I need to get a new battery ordered so I can set it up.
10 Attaboys for you, and 5 Attaboys each for qbert and Shaggy for noticing the denomination and coin issues! I actually have a "Play 3 coins" label around here somewhere, hopefully I find then when I'm packing before or unpacking after the move. I swapped the "Play x Coins" buttons last night before going to bed, so they are correct now.
I also have a couple Mikhon Supreme displays (a 1x3 and a 2x3) and a Con2 that I will try to use to drive them once I get everything set up after the move. All this stuff is slowly starting to come back to me... :cool_thumb_up:

If you have a CHAMII+ progressive controller it has a rechargeable battery soldered onto the controller board. You just need to leave it turned on for awhile to recharge it and then reprogram it.

That's what I thought as well... but it's been on for 4 days and still loses everything when I power it off. I may have killed it by leaving it off for so long. :fryingpan:

Replace that Panasonic rechargeable battery on the chamii.
I found after I did this the machine will hold it's memory for months. Before that it wouldn't last two weeks without losing everything.

Not unless you want a couple of lifetime supplies of them. The minimum order is $100 now and I think they still have their infamous mysterious shipping charges!

Yes, I've fallen victim to their Mystery Shipping (or is that Haywire Shipping? :lol: :lol: ) before! I didn't know they had a $100 minimum now, though, just another reason to keep them off the supplier list. :talktothehand:
