Title: "ELVIS" original Slot topper issue
Post by: Ratspot on February 07, 2011, 01:56:36 PM
I have an original IGT Elvis red LED slot topper sign , the one that lights the individual letters in random order. The "S" no longer lights  or will light intermittantly and I suspect the ribbon cable connectd to the lights but it ids sealed. My question is there anyway to repair this or even get at it. There probably would be no replacement parts I imagine.

I'd check each wire with a multi-meter set for continuity...
Wiggle the harness/ribbon cable as you probe it.

ELVI  is just not the same as ELVIS  :279-

as bunker said try the wiggle test and see what happens.  Do you have any pics of the topper and wires ?

I would have completely stripped that puppy down and find the loose connection.
I doubt that the LEDs are burned out.
