.....Oh great! I assumed because the top of the cabinet is slanted it is called a slant top......

I think they build them that way so my casino drink slides off when I try to sit it there.

I think that is their true purpose.

Biggest difference between slant top and up right is these glass kits. The MPU traythat the board sits in might be different. Not sure about the reels and strips.

Motherboard, MPU tray, and reels are different. Strips are the same. Here is a pic of a slant top mobo:

yeah, the reel assembly is different because the viewing angle thru the slant top reel glass is different on a slant top vs an upright where you look straight-on. Not sure why they had to use a different motherboard, maybe because there are so many more security switches on a slant top cabinet and that means more wiring connections? And as we've covered, the hopper is different in a slant top. Plus there is no belly glass on a slant top.

Biggest difference is the experience of moving a slant top - it is much bulkier & a heavy job even for 2 people.

They are like moving a fridge. I own two of them. Ones a Bally 5500 Wild Rose and the seconds my GK. I move these with my appliance dolly.

If you ordered a complete coin head, a slant top coin head assembly is different. If you ordered just the quarter backing plate, your good to go.

Sunrise, I ordered the complete coin head assembly from someone on here who saw my machine so I'm pretty confident he knew the one I needed.

I got the buttons, switches and legends in today, here's the pictures installed, getting there slowly but surely. Still waiting for the boards; also,I'm posting pictures of a metal piece that was in the slot when I got it, does anyone know what it is for?

sixcardmark · « **Reply #111 on:** October 18, 2018, 06:03:38 PM »

That metal piece goes over the wires on the right side of bill validator to keep them out of the way of door closing.

That cool piece. Nice if you have the DBV to protect those wires.

jidrd55 · « **Reply #113 on:** October 18, 2018, 06:55:02 PM »

Thank you sixcardmark. Amechanic I have the DBV, it was the first part I got in the mail.

Amechanic · « **Reply #114 on:** October 18, 2018, 07:00:26 PM »

I converted mine to the WBA, replacing the DBV unit. I just never saw that metal protector bracket before. Now I know where it goes if I find one in a machine or parts box. 👍

You will need the reset key to clear any possible errors. Install your EPROMs in the MPU Board but watch the direction the go. If you notice the epro has a half round notch on the top of one end. The socket also has a half round notch on one end. So match both notch to notch. I would like to see how those LED conversion bulbs look when your finished. Itâ€™s like building a jigsaw puzzle, once the pieces start going together and you can start to see the picture, you canâ€™t wait to see it finally put together.

jidrd55 · « **Reply #116 on:** October 20, 2018, 12:53:09 PM »

Thank you Amechanic, I have it all together gonna put the EPROMs in now, I think this is most nerve racking part of all. I ordered the reset key from EBay, the first part I ordered but I guess it will be the last one I get. Would it hurt anything if I changed out the reset cylinder with a toggle switch?

Amechanic · « **Reply #117 on:** October 20, 2018, 01:17:46 PM »

No not really. The reset key cylinder is spring loaded, meaning it spring back ice turned. Itâ€™s not met to be left on. You could even just jumper the two wires inside as needed to duplicate what the reset lock does. I think itâ€™s correct term is a momentary switch.

jidrd55 · « **Reply #118 on:** October 20, 2018, 01:23:52 PM »

What if I jump it out with a screw driver by touching both ends with a flathead at the same time?

SP1146 is the right SP chip for a Haywire machine. There are other SP chips that would also work ok. The SP1146 chip is compatible with the 16mhz version mpu ("cpu") board, so hopefully that is the mpu board you are getting. If you got the SP1146 chip and the mpu board from the same seller then he would make sure they will work together. He might even have installed the SS and SP chips on the mpu board for you.

One other thing, the cpu board is supposed to be 16mhz, but this board has the volume wheel on it, someone said in an earlier post that the volume wheel is only on the 10mhz board, will it ruin the chip if it's not the right board?
