I made the dumb mistake of plugging the printer in while the game was on and now the reels spin slowely.
I have replaced the cpu, distribution box, power supply and IO boards<
still the same problem.
The machine cycles and the reels continue to spin slowly.

Personally, at this point, I'd put all the origional parts back in and run a clear chip on it. That would clear up any issues caused by changing the CPU and take care of the reel issue too

Did you try opening the door,turn the key and shut the door.

Tim beat me to it.  I think this has fixed other "slow reel" issues with other members.

But he changed the CPU and added the Printer. He could run into other issues now

Thanks everyone, i did another clear and everything works except the backlit reels and I am working on that.
thanks again for all your help

the only problem now is the lights do not work on the reels.

Well my big problem is the reels , they keep on getting reel tilts. i have replaced everything on the machine and still cannot find the problem.

You state you changed the CPU...but did you use different chips or swap them over. Also you state the reel lights do no works. Do they glow dim while the game is idle.?

if you are still getting reel tilts examine the reel baskets and make sure the fingers on the basket are passing through the reel optics, and no fingers are broken.

Do you have any different reels that you could throw in? 

Jason

I found the problem. I plugged the plug that goes from the back lit board into the Mother board instead of the IO board> it would clear but go into a reel tilt every time.
thanks for all your help.

Darell  Two things  could cause the problem.  dust/dirt on the reel optics  Or look at the reel spokes and see if by chance they are hitting the backlit light bulb holder.  I've had a couple of them hit, a bench grinder will take care of the problem.

It is all good now.
Thanks to everyone.
