i have 2 CEI poker machines..need help

(1/5) > >>

CHOP CHOP:
i have 2 of the older (80's models) CEI video poker machines, i have manage to get one of them up and running but its not perfect, cleaned all the interior components and swapped video monitors ( one may be bad) i have downloaded the manual for the 904 board at coin slots.com but it does not tell me what each of the dip switches on the board control. is there a service/repair manual available anywhere for these old machines??? i also need links for monitor repair or replacement.

Check out this thread. It was right below yours.  Halfway down are DIP switch settings. There's an entire section here on NLG for Monitor repair with lots of good information. In two old video slots of mine, the monitor problem was simply dirty potentiometers. I have one that looks identical to your first one and I do have the manual for that, but it's a hard copy. Let us know your progress.

CONGRATS! You have a couple of fairly scarce machines that are often puzzles but lots of fun.
Don't have a lot of time at this moment, but will post more detail  for you later tonight. For now,

Your first  machine is the most common, a "Casino Mini", probably running 23.9 software and a #7 payout table.
To be sure, open the door, press the TEST button, and see what it says at the bottom of the final screen.
Most commonly, it will say  V 23.9 SCH. 07-1T 06/06/85
(Since I'm working on sorting out CEI software, I'd like to know if it says anything else.)

Your second machine is in a short Arcade housing, probably earlier than your Mini.
I've never actually seen one; it may have been a transition unit before they got the
front door tooling finished on the Mini housing.

Replacing the monitor with LCD is not too difficult, but there are few useful instructions for
doing so. I'm working on one right now, for the primary purpose of writing a guideline for
NLG members.

And yes there are several manuals out there, none complete, at least one wildly wrong.
I'll be glad to email you the ones you don't have. I got most of mine from NLG member
DORMI. He is the absolute expert on everything CEI, and a great & generous man to boot.

and welcome to NLG!

thanks i had already seen that post but it was relatively sparse on complete information as i don't want to be messing with stuff without having a semi decent understanding of what the benefits/consequences are of my actions. i have seen some of the older post where someone had posted manuals but cannot for the life of me find them anywhere, must be in a section i'm not allowed into yet?? LOL
