Title: Frankenstein 360/550
Post by: cdlale on February 28, 2009, 06:27:29 PM
Here's my home built WMS 360 or is it a 550. I got the idea from Rick Hunter's mini 550 post. The logic box,power supply and bill validator are from a 550. The hopper,arm rest,button panel coin mech,and coin cup are from a 360. The validator cage is from a IGT S+. 550 belly glass is used on the topper. I made the validator door and monitor from 16 ga sheet metal. The cabinet and topper is 3/4" plywood. The coin chutes were made from scratch. The monitor is a 18"lcd. Thanks to Kenokarz for his 360 restore pics he posted. Also to David Heller,Slotbrokers and Rocky Mountain Slots for finding the parts I needed.

I got the arm rest used from Ebay seller Slotbrokers. He was a member on the old NLG site. I tried to make the top of the machine look like a IGT igames or a bluebird slant top, Where the validator doesnt stick out like it does on the 360. I know one thing for sure those meters have to go!!

Wire #3 and Wire #8 gets looped   (Molex PIN 3 and 8)

#3 is Green / Red (wire)
#8 is Green / purple (wire)

That is it.

All gone and this works on the WMS 1.5 + / NXT (360 / 550) but not the BB (next gen)

IGT is Pin 1 and Pin 2 (Meter side of cable)
