isn't this for 16mg boards?  I have 10mhz - SP809

For 10MHz boards, Barry the dip switch #3 has to be ON  for reel and spin sound...
And the volume is adjusted by the blue, potentiometer knob on top of the board.
Hope this helps ya! :89-

guys bit 3 is ON - 10mhz board - SP809 - all I get is the reel stop - no coin in ding.

Okay, this is a way to test the sound>>>
Open the door...(there cannot be any credits on the machine)
Press the little white test button 5 times,
You should see a "50" in the "Winner Paid" display window.
That's for sound tests.
Each time you press the "Spin" button, you'll hear a "ding".
Turning the "reset" key gives you a different tone or sound also when you press the "Spin" button.
If you're not getting any sounds during the test, then you may need to perform a ram clear .
After that, use the SET015 or SET017 chip to reset/re-enable the DVB.

But before doing any clearing, are you getting credits to register onto the display when you drop a coin in?

Also,
There's is really a much easier way to check for the "ding" sound.
Right on the coin-in optics board that's mounted under the coin comparitor.
Open the door, press the little button on the coin-in optics card...
You should hear a ding for each time you press it! :89-

will try to 5 test - coin optic does give me the ding.  Just did not know what the SP809 did - I guess I could have changed it to a 731 and sound would have been easy (bit 3). 

50 - spin button no efffect - reset key 50, 51.......56 no effect - no sound - will check out the speaker - replace mpu when I get this otherwise excellent Wurlizer back home.  What is the diff between SP731 and SP809?  I would have thought the BIT 3 would have worked for either one.

Barry .. there is a capacitor (yellowish color - CRS memory) to the right of the thumb wheel. When it goes bad there will not be any sound. I guess you checked the speaker?

thanks all - just picked up this Wurlitzer with a couple of others and I am at a friends - just toyed with it to see what was wrong - will get to it when I get back on Sunday.  Only remaining question is the S809 anything special.  thanks.

Have you tried flipping DS 3 in the opposite direction?  If you're getting reel stop sounds, you can't get reel spin sounds, and vice versa (when you have spin music enabled, the arm solenoid fires three times to simulate the stop sounds).

bit 3 on - no sound - bit 3 off - reel stop sound!

Earlier in the thread you said that when DS 3 was on you were getting reel stop sounds -- I presume that was in error?

You should be getting the stop sounds with it off.  However, you should be getting the reel spin sounds (and no reel stop sounds) with it on.  It sounds like you're only getting half.  Do you have another MPU board to try in your machine?

it has to be the speaker/wire harness - changed boards - no sound.  will change speaker when I get back to my store on monday. still want to know what a SP809 does that a 731 dosen't?

Check your mail sir...

Let's make sure we're on the same page.  When you said that you were getting reel stop sounds, were you refering to the computer-generated "click" noise from the speaker, or the physical clicking from the arm solenoid?

Also, you said you were getting a "ding" from the coin in test, right?  That ding was coming from the speaker.  I'm confused.   :103-

 I appreciate all the help - there is NO SOUND - coin optic board no ding - I get reel stop "sound" which I believe is when I had bit swx 3 off!  That is why I also asked for info on the SP809 prom to see if this guy has something SPECIAL since this is a Wurlitzer game. Without any spare parts handy where I picked it up - I was trying to do some pre-emptive debugging to see if was something "SIMPLE" which these IGTs seem to have plenty of (SIMPLE FIXES).  Again thanks for all the help - I will provide FINAL RESULTS monday when I get this puppy up on my work bench and read up on th SP809 that one of you so thankfully provided.  I just might use old faithful 731 to run this game as this SP I know.
