Title: IGT S+ Reel Strips
Post by: toadly on April 29, 2011, 08:08:14 PM
I am new to the Forum and also to slot machine reconditioning so please be patient.   One of the machines I have aquired had two of the reel strips in a loose condition when I opened the cabinet, is the a certain order in which the strips must be put on the 123 reels and how do you tell what strip goes on what reel??   I have found the notches so know issue there.   Also two of the strips look identical as far as symbols, is this normal?

Thank you for any help.

It is normal and sometimes all three will have the same symbal layout. If they have differant layouts, they will commonly be labeled at the bottom of the strip with a part number or actual 1,2,3 numbering. If it's a part number, install them in ascending order. Some after market strips won't have either, in which case we'll need to know what theme you have and see pictures

It would help if you let us know what theme and number coins played, and the reel strip numbers at the bottom
lowest number strip on reel 1, next on reel 2 and highest number on reel 3
For Example: 8484100 on reel 1, 8484200 on reel 2, 8484300 on reel 3 note these may or may not be actual reel strip numbers but used for example only.

Some themes have 3 strips the same  (A A A)
Some theme have 1 that is different (A A B, A B A, B A A)
or all three are different (true for The Red White and Blue themes) (A B C)

When I had S+ machines it seems that the strips where actually labeled reel 1, reel 2, reel 3 on the bottom edge in cases where it mattered
