Title: IGT S plus questions
Post by: Jdhill1669 on April 23, 2013, 01:15:56 PM
A real newbie here but I was able to find some great advice on here and I was able to correct a lot of issues the machine I bought locally had. But here my questions- thank you for you help in advance

The machine is a Sierra Silver with the nudge  10 hz board

My unit did not have a bill acceptor. - what parts would I need and how would I get it functional.  The machine is functioning properly at this time.

Where would be a good place to locate any Haywire kit for this machine?
Would I have to change the game chip or just the reel chip?

Can I change the reels from standard to back lite?

Do I have an option to upgrade the sound to Setreo ?

I'm sorry for all of the questions

Thank you very much for any assistance

S+ does not support back lite reels...

Not to sound like a smartass, but you'll need the parts that are missing!  :96-  It depends on a) if the machine ever had an embedded bill validator, and b) how much was removed from the machine if it did.  Some folks just remove the validator head, transport, power supply, and stacker box ("cash can") -- others remove the entire enclosure.  If you care to post a picture or two of your machine with the door open, that'll help us to help you determine what parts you need.

You can always try posting in the classifieds section (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?board=131.0) of the forum, or contacting any of the vendors who have banner ads on the front page of the site (http://newlifegames.net/).  There are other options, too, like eBay.

Be sure to specify what kind of machine you have (ie. 9" top, 16" top, round top, or slant top) to make sure you get glass that will fit your machine.

Would I have to change the game chip or just the reel chip?

You'd need to change them both.  Sierra Silver is a Type 5 game.  Haywire is a Type 2 game (Haywire Deluxe is Type 21).  I'm not aware of any GAME chip that supports both Type 5 and also Type 2/21.

Can I change the reels from standard to back lite?

As Dan #2 already posted, no, there is no support for backlit reels in an S+.  That's an S2000 feature.

Do I have an option to upgrade the sound to Setreo ?

Not really.  The sound generator in an S+ is pretty basic, and the machines were only ever produced with a single speaker located above the coin tray.  Stereo sound (and enhanced reel spin tunes) is a S2000 feature.

Don't be.  We were all new at some point.  Do browse through the topics here in the S+ section, however, as tons of questions have been asked and answered over the years.  Don't be afraid to use the search function at the top of the page, either, to help find what you're looking for.

 :244- 

Thank you for all of the replies. This is greatest thread board group I have ever come across.

As for the DBV issue I will get a picture posted. From what little knowledge I have it appears the DBV is the only thing missing other than the key for the cash box.

Thanks again gang for the great response
