I purchased a lighted reel kit for one of my S2000.
It came with the three reels, wire harness and reel control board and bracket.

When installing this kit, I could not find the 3 X 2 six pin power connector to the control board?
I looked at another machine and see that the is suppose to comes from the power supply. The wiring in this machine is different?
Has anyone come across this before?

Here is what the wiring should look like.

and the six pin connector to the control board.

This is the wiring on the machine I want to add lighted reels to.
It does not have the pins for the six pin power harness.

I think Bunker or Ford had a diagram for running power to that on machines that aren't wired for it, bit I can't find it :8-

You can safely tap into the power wires (match the colors) to add the power for the controller.

Orange 25V
Black/orange Ground for 25V
Red 13V
Black/red Ground for 13V
The Grounds are tied together.

Another option
test for each voltage and ground with a multimeter and a schematic at the unused postions near orange, black/orange, red, black/red.
Stay away from the Blue and Brown heavy wires, which is the 120VAC input to the supply

you will have to test with power on and off (best way to find available ground connections in the power supply

Thanks Foster,
I was thinking about making the connections myself as this machine was an early Vision Ready machine.
I have some other old wire harnesses with the correct wire colors and gauge wire so it would be fairly easy.

I'm now thinking if I'm going to have the same issue with installing a ticket printer in the top box?
Will these ticket printers plug into the Netplex Power Distribution board?

I believe that ticket printer is for the door type of unit and would be a little too long if used for the top box.
I would also make sure you get a printer that is flashed for the Netplex protocol (IGT) . When you add the printer to the top you would also need
the mounting bracket and then you need the smaller player tracking plate.

Thanks,
I already have the bracket and short player tracking bar.
I just was not sure since this machine was not wired as the later (after 2000) models, if I was also going to have an issue with that wiring.
If so, I might just look into picking up a newer wiring harness for the cabinet.

Not positive but don't think you you would have an issue with the wiring if you have the netplex expansion board up top,otherwise you would need to run it down to the backplane,I believe.  But you do need the other type of printer with IGT protocol    - N

A few years back I hooked up lited reels to my Vision. At the time idesign helped
me wire it up much like Foster described. He had made a harness to plug into the
mother board where the printer plugged in, if you were not using a printer.

Here are my notes on it.

"On the bottom of the mother board at the j13 connector, there are three wires
on the bottom right side as you view it in the machine. The bottom one is #10,
black w/ orange stripe= Gnd, the one above that is #9, Orange= 25V, above that
is #8, red=13V. Of course you have to have the 6-pin connector on the reel lamp
controller wired correctly by tying the two 13v lines together. "

IF you can get the Power distribution board, and 2 harnesses you can put the printer in the top box.
THe top box needs to be one with the s2000 ears and not a vision top top box
All you need other than the power distribution board is 2 harnesses
one harness has a 9 pin male (3 x 3) connector and the 10 pin male Molex that plugs into distribution board.
The second has the 10 pin male molex and a 8 pin female molex to connect to the harness that comes with the printer.

Tilt,
Morspeed just stripped a couple of round tops that he's selling.
you might want to ask him if he has some topbox harnesses?

If you do get a replacement main harness as long as no one has removed anything from it
You gain 5 things that a vision main harness does not have that I can think of:
1 power for the Back lit controller
2 back lit reel harness
3 8 pin connector near reel 3 for the printer - with some minor zip tie cutting you can move it so you can plug in a top box printer.
4 Tray speaker wire harness
5 harness from cabinet I/O to back lit controller

Also due to how IGT or its vendor assembled the main harness it should come with the door SENET and Neplex harness.
The SENET plugs into the top of the Door I/O card.
The Netplex goes to the VFD.

At least that is how my replacement harness came.

Note you will have to adjust some of the zip ties that have mounting holes so you can secure them in a vision cabinet.

Newer S2000 cabinets move the power supply to the left so a printer can be mounted next to reel three.
