The reel error # 72 goto test # 5 To  ensure proper calibration of reels . to start the test press & release the test button until  05 d appears in the (win Paid ) NOTE

: Holding change button when entering test #5 INITIATES A REEL CALIBRATION AND STORE THE REEL-STOP CENTER POSITION IN SAFERAM . Ron (SLOTS OF FUN )

Also you can go to test # 1 MODEL INFORMATION stored in personality eprom. To go to test # 1 open door press & release the test button until 01 d appears in the message center . Than advance by pressing max bet or you can pause the display by pressing and holding spin.Go to 015 d this indicates the reel operation in safe ram.  0 indicates normal reel spin.  1 would indicate crazy reel spin . close the door or press reset to exit. Hope this helps ........ Ron (SLOTS OF FUN)   :88-

If the dip switch is set to crazy reel spin and you wish to change to normal spin, you will need to do a complete saferam clear to change it. The machine only reads the dip switch settings one time immediately following a complete clear, so just changing the switch setting alone will not do it.

i tried the bit switch both ways - no change - reels are stuck in the crazy spin cycle - did sram and full clear.  no change.  Jumpers are in the correct positon as are the rest of the bit switches.  SO i will use this board for testing - at least I won't blow up a good board in the EVENT?  thank you

I did the 5 test several times holding the Change button - did the sram clear couple of times and the error seems to have gone away. Thank you.
The only major issue is the use of the TOGGLE switch on the MPU trying to use IMONEX vs a coin comparitor - see my positing (WRONG TOPIC) under IGT VIDEO (dah).
