I am still working on a IGT PE (NOT +) - issue is the coin optic board - I am trying to trace the wiring from the optic board - seems wires have been replaced with plain blue wires - so I cannot verify the wires are correct.   just need to know what the wires are from the 5 pin optic board back to the molex connector at the TRAY. 

I hope this helps ya B !

SUPER diagram - but not the one I need - mine is a PE not PE+  I have a 9 pin connector going to the coining assembly (optics/divertor coils)  the all of the wiring goes into a 40? pin plug.

I don't have the PE (regular or NON Plus) wiring diagrams.
I'm hoping maybe knagl or somebody might have one.
I'm so sorry but it's all I had.  :8-

appreciate the effort - thank you.

I don't, sorry.  I only have PE+ stuff.  I'll check with a friend this weekend when I'm at his shop to see if he has anything.

appreciate the effort guys - been working on this dog to long - issue is with the optic board but I suspect the wiring is the issue as the wires are have been changed and maybe switched around

Here's an idea B.
Undo the screws holding the optic cards and try to view the
2 emitter optics with a video camera to see if they're emitting any light.
Maybe one of the emitters are burned out...they're just like little light bulbs -
they last a long time but not forever.
Have you went into the optic tests in the options and settings?
Also, do you know of anyone that has a PE poker like yours?
I'd give them a ring and ask how their optic board wiring harness is run?

The wiring is no good - without a good coin optic schematic to chase the wiring - wasting time - I did modify it for a coin switch (as the wiring is identified in the schematic - but not the coin optics?) - so I have a game that works with a COIN SWITCH (need the mount #649-05-300 "house switch coin in"  page 7-14 figure 7-8 #15)  in lieu of a schematic.

Would any momentary switch work in that Barry?  If so, you could probably jury-rig a mechanical coin acceptor (like one found in a video game or pinball machine) to accept/reject coins, and use a micro switch on the accepted quarters to add credits.

the coin acceptor is not the problem - the coin optic board wiring is - so I have used the schematic for the PE which clearly shows the mechanical coin SWITCH wiring - which I performed - so now instead of the optic coin sensing I have a mechanical coin SWITCH - all  I need now is the metal mounting frame for the COIN SWITCH.

This game is a pain to say the least - I got the machine to WORK removing the Optic board and substituting a COIN SWITCH since that is the only wiring that made any sense (thanks to Jim also).  NOW the problem is -  with the hopper IN and in game mode (door switch closed) machine COINS UP and deals!!!  BUT  the HOLD buttons all activate HOLD#2 - no matter which hold button I press #2 is activated.  HOWEVER - if I remove the HOPPER - hold buttons all work!!!!!!   It is NOT the hold buttons as I have replaced them all and checked them.  Hopper works in test mode.  ANYONE?   this is a IGT PE (NOT a PLUS!!!).
