Title: My Sigma SG50 Slot Machine
Post by: riverratmike on May 13, 2012, 04:29:36 PM
Picked this machine up for $50. I've gone through it and cleaned it all up. It's in really great shape. I'm working on getting it fixed. Right now I'm getting some error codes and also I'll be playing the game and it will just lock up. Most of the time I can get it restarted but that doesn't last long. Here are some photos I took of it last week.

I like those old Sigma SG50B. That was my first slot.
I had one that act like your machine. Another power supply took care of it.

You need to put in a sample coin in your comparitor...

yeah I really like this machine. Looks so nice all lit up at night. I will be inserting a coin in the coin comparitor when I return home. Hope that fixes my problem.

putting a coin in the cc  is a good first step.  how did you get it to play?  if you bypass the cc and drop coins directly into the optics and you exceed the limits of the machine then it will lock-up. (tilt)

if all the displays go out when the machine locks up     then you probably have a bad power supply.


Hope this helps

I was using the BV to get my credits therefore I could play the machine that way.

well guess what, that fixed it. It works perfectly now. No more locking up. Only thing is now, I have (0P) displayed just to the left of the credit numbers. Maybe some kinda error code, I don't know. Still is working normally though. Thanks for all the help everyone!

well I'm not out of the wood yet with this slot machine. Just tonight started to replace all the burned out light bulbs in the front switches/buttons and guess what? Lock up again. It seems the power supply doesn't like any heavy load. If I remove one or two of the connectors that power a working light bulb in the switch, it will clear and be able to play most of the time. I would think the BV would put a huge load on the power supply but that doesn't seem to effect it at all. Anyone, any ideas?

that is a great idea. Looks nice. Where did you find those?
I took my machine completely apart this afternoon. Removed all the connections, MPU and Power supply. Then reconnected everything and now it's working like it should. For how long, I'll never know. There is a IC 16 pin that looks like it's been getting hot and has burned black the PCB board a little. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't have anymore lock ups. All the 12 volts lamps in the machine are hooked up too.

That's great you got it working again!
Sometimes that's all it takes, Just checking and reconnecting everything.
I know with my sigmas I seem to get error codes a couple times a month.
They are a headache sometimes, But they are fun when they work  :96-
I got the bulbs on eBay, Basically 12 volt automotive ones.
I think that would look really cool with your colored buttons, Nice and bright   :89-
Have fun with it !  :287-

thanks! I'm gonna get me some of those. It should look really nice with the LED bulbs.
