That's a good reduction in power usage, more than I expected with removal of the ballasts.

We have all heard the saying, If your husband is a mechanic your car needs work, or if a carpenter the house needs work, an electrician has wiring issues at home. It's part of the Honey Do list

He's good at keeping things running around the house specially the air conditioning, but he didn't want me to fix this slot, didn't think I could; he even tried to bribe me by offering to buy me a working one. I just couldn't see throwing this one away when there's still a lot of life in it. Of course. I was more than willing to let him buy me one as well as fix this one but noooo not part of the deal. There's a lot at stake here, if for some reason I can't fix it I'll have to hear 'I told you so' for the rest of my life.

Like you said in a earlier post too, itâ€™s about being able to play coins and hearing them clink in the coin try when you cash out. To me the newer games can be boring on one hand because you just feed them paper money, but they do offer more features like bonus games and winning extra spins.

More than likely replacing the motherboard and the mpu board will get it going. The battery damage to those boards was extensive but probably didn't affect anything else, such as the power supply, reels, hopper, etc. As long as the wiring that connects to the motherboard wasn't damaged you should be on the downhill side of things. Just be careful when plugging in all those wiring cables to the new motherboard, don't want a boo-boo.

Are you going to let him play the machine when you get it running? Sure, but you should keep the key to the machine so you can keep the money he loses. That way he is helping pay for the parts you needed.

I got the first part in and finished taking the parts off the door, the easier it is for Husband to get to the wires the better chance he'll do it. I didn't upgrade the bill validator, I got the head and BV for $55, it was guaranteed and I didn't know if the one in the machine worked, also the head alone was $39. When installed it made noise like it works, doesn't take in bills though. Does it have to have boards in to see if it actually works. I am changing to quarters, I'm thinking about getting a quarter hopper instead of changing out the parts in the old one, I'm posting a picture of the new one, is it the right one?
oh yeah he can play, if he can get me off of it. But yes I will have to hide the key.

Uhhh, no pictures are on your last post.

Yes, the DBV head will make some noise when you turn the machine on, it is "initializing". And it won't work until the mpu is in the machine and working.

What do you mean "you got the first part in", does that mean you got something and installed it? Or that you got it in, as in it was delivered? Which part is it?

Yes, I got the part in and I installed it, I posted a picture. The head and the BV.

Ooops - I missed that post with the photos.

Looks like a hopper for a slant top to me. Not for upright machine

jidrd55 · « **Reply #91 on:** October 17, 2018, 02:46:00 AM »

Mine is s slant top.
Rokgpsman, I couldn't post the pictures from my phone so I posted them later from my laptop, that's why you didn't see them in the first post.

The photo of your Haywire machine shows it to be an upright machine, not a slant top??

A slant top machine is one that is shorter in height and the reel glass player pushbutton area slants at a 45 degree angle (actually less than 45 degrees). The second photo below shows a slant top machine. The hopper is different on a slant top machine because it has to push the coins upward to the coin drop box. So the slant top hopper has a long curved coin chute on top of it. In your reply #87 above the first photo looks like a hopper for a slant top machine. (that photo is enlarged and repeated below)

As therockinelvis said, I think that hopper in your photo is for a slant top machine, not for an upright machine like your Haywire machine. So don't buy that hopper in the photo you posted. Take a look at the hopper that came with your Haywire machine, notice how it is made compared to the slant top hopper in your photo. On an upright machine hopper the coins are dispensed from the left side of the hopper and fall into the coin tray. On a slant top hopper the coins are moved upward from the top of the hopper and are pushed into a vertical slide chute called the coin escalator. At the top of the coin escalator the coin is dispensed into the coin box on the front of the slant top machine.

If you want to, before you buy any major parts you can post a photo of them so we can be sure it is correct for your machine. If you are shopping for another hopper what you want is a quarter hopper for an upright IGT S+ machine.

After you get the motherboard and mpu boards replaced and the machine is working you can test your dollar hopper. If it works ok it may not be that big of a deal to convert it to quarters. The quarter conversion parts to do that will likely cost less than buying and shipping another hopper, unless you score a good deal on one. Someone here can guide you in doing the quarter conversion, if you want to look into that just ask what all is involved. No need to overly fear the conversion job, it's just some screwdriver stuff from what I understand.

Oh great! I assumed because the top of the cabinet is slanted it is called a slant top. I have been thinking everything S+ and slant top is made for my machine, dang it! You know what they say about assuming!😳 Don't know how many things I have ordered for a slant top. This makes me want to take it out back, burn it, then go buy a set of knitting needles! 😫
😭😭😭

Try to list what you bought for slant top cabinet or pics and we can see what you can use and what you can't.

There are 3 variations of upright cabinets. They just have 3 different size tops (and top glass) to them often referred to as: 9" chop top, 16" round top, and 16" slant top. That's what got you confused.

jidrd55 · « **Reply #95 on:** October 17, 2018, 10:27:16 AM »

So mine is the 16" round top? 🤔

sixcardmark · « **Reply #96 on:** October 17, 2018, 10:35:19 AM »

No its a upright with 16" flat glass. Round top upright has round glass.

Here is pic of a round top upright. It's a older model with no bill validator but it's a round top:

You just need all upright parts. The top only matters if you need the top glass, everything else is the same.

Those console type cabinets called slant tops have a lot of different parts than the uprights do.

jidrd55 · « **Reply #97 on:** October 17, 2018, 01:53:35 PM »

Thank you sixcardmark, I guess that bit of imformation is something I should have researched before I started buying parts, huh?
Rokgpsman, I ordered the most important parts, motherboard, cpu board and chips from someone on NLG, also some other parts from someone else on this forum so I trust that they knew which machine I had and what parts to sell me. However all the other parts I ordered from EBay and other online stores so if they're for the wrong machine it's only because I didn't know what the heck I was doing.
I'll get all of the invoices together and post the list later this evening and I won't order anyhthing else before checking here first. I really think I have ordered everything but the belly glass and the parts for changing the hopper to quarters.
I decided to take your advice about using the old hopper.

I learn more from my mistakes than I do my accomplishments!
