And yes you can change/disable the attraction sound and pause time between attraction plays.

Can you give me the play by play instructions on how to do that Ryen? No rush, my machine will be down until I can locate a new board. Thanks for your help.

Pinging @RB. Got a spare 504 mpu around? If you really want to play fun you can add the multi-denom touch panel and 6-digit credit display. I did that upgrade to mine and it was more fun to be able change the denom during play.

Ryengoth, if you could expand on that, it would be great. I'm not sure what you just said. New words to me. I'm still learning so please go slow.

Press white button to open config menu on fluorescent display. Scroll down to sounds and look under there for volume settings and timer for attraction feature. You do not need a key chip to go into programming mode, just press the white button on the MPU with the door open.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. By the way, any ideas on a board? I'll take a 502 at this point.

The multi-denomination module replaces the sticker in the lower panel where the denomination amount is displayed. You can select from several 4-denomination stickers. You replace the white module on the door with a new one that has a touch sensor in it. It aligns 4 "touch buttons" with the sticker graphics. If you touch where $.25 is then the game play and credit module switches to $.25 per credit play. Between reel spins you can pick from the 4 touch options to change your bet level and credit totals. Put in a $20 and play nickle for a while until it gets warm then switch to $.50 and rack up cash. When it gets cold switch back to $.10 maybe and play for a while. If you decide you want that, bear in mind that the accounting denomination must be $.01 in order to support the changes during play. That means the credit ticker is going to go insane and possible fly apart unless you unplug and jumper it.     Check out the demo play on my YT channel.

I think I'll leave well enough alone. I have to get mine working first before I do any alterations. I feel so stupid for possibly messing mine up by replacing that Varta battery. I should have known that there was a better way. Oh well, live and learn.

I have the denom set to $1 but you can see the 4 other options by the lit-up $1 button on the glass. Oh you also get a 2-line display with that upgrade which is very helpful in the programming menu.

Ryen, I tried to find the link or channel you referred to. I did watch your video on your roadtrip but I couldn't find whatever you are referring to here. Can you link me to it?

You didn't mess up your MPU board, the leaking varta battery did.  If you ever get another S2000 just make sure you remove it before it has a chance to leak and destroy the board.

Thanks. I just figured I probably overheated it while trying to install/remove the varta. Now, I know better. I'm having a tough time getting my wife to understand WHY I need to spend a hundred dollars. That is worse than knowing I might have been the culprit. Oh well, in time. Thanks Tilt.

Unfortunately it's the name of the game with these old machines. You'll be replacing parts. I bought an EEPROM burner and UV eraser specifically for messing with mine. I was attempting to hack the software though. It does help to be able to burn copies of they key and game ROMs. A USB writer is less than $40. The chips can be purchased for a few bucks. The power supply will probably go out next, so be prepared. Don't trash the board, though. Should it happen to be a RAM chip gone bad or something else you'll want to have a spare MPU.

Thanks for that info. I have been watching his boards but wasn't sure of his reputation. If he is a member here, that would make me feel better. Can you tell me what the main difference is between the 502 and the 504? I can save $30 by buying the 502 and every $30 counts right now. I have never had any "buzzing" from my speakers. Is that something that might happen if I buy the 502 board? I'll spend the extra money if there is a good valid reason for it. Thanks for your input.

Yep, you got it right about the boards.

 He is a good guy to deal with.

So, if it was you, what board would you buy? Keep in mind that money is tight. I just want to do the smartest thing. I appreciate you giving his recommendation. That means something.

504B, you already have the multimedia dimm and daughter board.
