I believe I have a f1 what my issue is my screen is shot so I can't see what errors it is throwing but it turns on but won't make any noise I can put a quarter in it and it will register but only once but doesn't do anything is there anyone that can help with this issue here are some pics

Also the hopper isn't doing anything at all either

Well, it's not a Fortune I as the hold buttons say Hold/Cancel -- on a Fortune I, they were only "Hold" with an extra button to the right to cancel a mis-held card.  Maybe a Fortune II or a PE (non-plus)?  Is there an identification plate on the side of the machine with any information on it?

There is a identification plate in the bottom next to the hopper.

Aah, indeed.   :209-

Simpsons1: What information is on that blue and silver ID tag on the bottom of the machine to the right of the hopper?

I would have to get my books out for this one!   That being said,  this is a Fortune 1 poker machine.  The reason, that's a fortune 1 logic board he has pictured, no doubt in my mind, not only the board, but the backplane with the ribbon connections and the two reset buttons on the top right above the board.  If there is an I/O board on the left hand side wall ( next to the hopper) then that would be another clue that this is a Fortrune 1.   I think they used a RGB monitor,  don't know if it can be replaced with a Ceronix  1492.   Can't remember the button configuration on the door.

well here is the funny part of this and im confused the tag at first said itwas a model 705 but it looked like it was a sticker so i pulled it off and it said model 401 i swear it looks like a different machine then what was supposed to be in the cabinet see attached picture

I defer to your expertise, although I am confused about the hold buttons as the few Fortune I's I've seen in person only had the "hold" functionality for the hold buttons.  But, if Jim says it's a Fortune I, I believe it.   :89-

so does anyone have a monitor i can buy for this or can i switch this to lcd would rather do that so i dont have to worry about the screen going out for a while. and im assuming the hopper or coin slot wont work without a monitor plugged up

I think CV Slots knows someone who rebuilds those monitors. He may sell them too; I'm not sure...you may want to send Roslyn a PM and see.
I have a Fortune One and it has hold/cancel buttons and the I/O on the side...etc...  ;D
