want to buy igt mini photon progressive unit as shown in slot owners mag page 15 :)

Does anyone know if this works on S+ and S2000, or just S+?

I have one in an S2000.  :88-

Harvs

i read somewhere they're different control boards so maybe the s+ is upward compatible with the s2k but not the other way. i dunno. anyway, i might give it a try. thanks for the info! :)

They are available for both the S Plus and S2000, but they are different units.  I had one in my S Plus that I just sold... I knew I should have take it out before I sold the machine, lol.  I see them pop up on ebay quite often.  There was actually an S2000 one on there last week.  They usually go for $40-$50 with the bracket included.  The only problem I found with using the bracket is that when the meter is installed in the jackpot sticker area of the glass, the bracket and circuit board block a lot of the surrounding light from shining from behind the glass, so around the meter you end up with a dark area.  A good example is the pic of the 5x pay glass in slot owners magazine (mini photon area).  You can see how it's not as backlit around the progressive unit.  If you don't mind using a dremel tool to modify a tracking bar, I found that it worked much better installed that way, plus you don't have to adjust it everytime you switch glass kits that way.  See an example in Harvs picture above.  I did the same thing with mine.  Here's an example of mine installed in the card reader area... I just had to dremel it out a little bit wider... about a half inch.

I think the one we have for sale is an S+? I can't remember what machine it came out of, to be honest.

Also, I just remembered who the ebay seller was that usually lists them.  Contact NLG member lemans1969.  She's the one that is usually selling them when I see them on ebay, and the one that I bought mine from for my S Plus... but I've seen her sell S2000 versions as well.

got one off ebay from geminhaus for s2k with a bracket. i'll install the same place you've got yours and see how it works. :) i wonder if i could make a cutout about it for a backlit progressive sticker. may take a look at doing that too.

might need a "progressive" sticker. that something you can make, dave?
