Hi.
I just bought a 1994 model IGT sit down poker machine.  It was working fine by adding quarters.  When I ran out of quarters, I would open the door and start over again.  One day, I opened the door, got the quarters out and closed the door.  Now, I can drop quarters in the slot and they go to the hopper, BUT no credits are added. 

Please help.

Thanks,
Brad Campbell

Maybe my problem and Brads are the same, but I have an IGT Model B5036DFW manufactured 2/96(its a Red,White,& Blue Quarter Slot), had a code for a bad optics reader that wouldnt clear changed the optics board the code cleared, but with 3 different boards the machine isn't seeing the coin drop, I have changed the machine to using slugs the size of quarters and before the failure it had worked just fine.

I can't help but to think that I did something when I turned the key in the side of the machine and change something (not knowing what I was doing) and now the optics board doesn't register the coin going past it.

I have tried to find where it shows what the different codes and positions are when turning the reset key to see that everything should be right. The machine dosen't have a reset button inside as it is set up for home use.

Something NEW after working with another forum I realized that the Old Optics board had a modification too it, its a three led optics board and the coin comparitor doenst have any power too it, as it was modified for private use, one the old optics board a small three post chip was removed from the board, So I took off that small chip like the first board and know I have a 3100 flashing which by what I have means an Extra Coin out and I can't get it to clear. 

Please HELP! looking for any direction I should be going, have download manuals on line but they aren't helpful in this area.   :99-
