What do I need to setup a progressive system?

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a Double Diamond Deluxe game kit with a progressive meter in the glass.

It comes with the meter installed in the glass, but none of the other parts needed to make the progressive meter work..

I know nothing about the progressive systems/screen..

Is it even possible to make an at home progressive system?

If so, what is it going to take (Parts & $$) to make it work?

I am trying to decide if I want to take on this adventure or not..

Thanks,

Double Diamond Deluxe is a sought after theme
getting the progressive up and running is no problem
just post some pictures of the meter display and we can take it from there.

Cost ? hard to say until we know what you need
shouldn't be to much though.

ChamII + will work for you
will you be installing this in a S+ or S2000 ?
did you get any other cables with it or just the glass kit ?

I'm sure you know that you don't have to hook up the progressive
to play the game though...

Of course it will look awesome hooked up
There is a bit of a learning curve programming these for the first time
I suggest you head over to the Mikohn progressive section and start reading
just to get a handle on things..really it's not all that bad.

BTW: This is not a spectrum but posted in the spectrum section

Thanks Tim!

It is an s2000, just the glass kit!

Yeah, I know you don't have to hook up the progressive,  but I guess I'm OCD in that if there is something there, it SHOULD work! It would drive me nuts if the screen/meter whatever you call it was there but didn't do something!

If you play with out the progressive hooked up, does it still count up the progressive win, just not display it? Or does it just have a fixed pay out?

I would be okay if I could just have it do a fixed payout instead of a progressive, if I could make the screen/meter display something, like static  or moving text.

I didn't know what it was!  Maybe a Mod can move this post for me?

So, thinking into the future (game room!) if/when I add other machines, is it possible to have the progressive on multiple machines, or is the home solution only able to support a single machine?

Also thinking forward, if I were to install a different game kit in the future that isn't progressive, how difficult will it be to disconnect or uninstall the progressive part? (Though I saw the thread on installing a meter/screen in the player tracking panel, which caught my interest! (And would work with any game?)

Thanks!
