Two weeks ago I got 3 not working, but complete slots : two Ballys 1234 double progressive and one 1235 dp. I made one working . It took 122 coins (61 cent shown on every jackpot)– then two of the hopperboard’s resistors burned. After changing all the four resistors and the two mac15 triacs I only got a ‘6’ in the winmeter. I don’t know the errorcodes (also the values in both jackpots changed  - the sixtyone cent becomes --.0--,61 ). What I need is a wire diagram, the error codes or a manual. Would someone here be kind enough to tell  me where I can get these informations? Thanks a lot.... 

the 6 code indicates a voltage problem - can be as simple as a fuse or bad power supply.  The fuses are on the back wall behind the hopper - the board to the right of the fuses is the power supply - try reseating the power supply connector (right side) - check for burnt connection on the ps especially the lower 2 wires. there are test loops on the power supply - s/b 10 7.5 and 5 volts DC.  Lastly I am assuming you are running 110v - you can convert to 220v simply by moving one molex connector.

thanks - you're right. 2 of the three powersupplies bad - one is working. but this is my new error message : 71
i wrote, this must be a reel problem - i changed all three reel units - cleaned the contacts with contact cleaner - but still 71

71 000 is normal - door opened. "insert coin" light on?  run some tests. there are 2 red buttons on the hopper control board - the left button is RESET - the other is TEST.  press and release the RESET - then press the TEST 2 times while watching the win meter - the number will increment on the win meter 1 then 2 - at this point the machine will cycle thru all the IO - lights will activate - coils etc. You should hear/see the divertor coil on the door activate - same for the handle and all the reels will lock in sequence. This test loops and restarts. Next do a 4 test - this will activate the hopper and pay out 10 coins. Last try the 5 test this activates the reel readers - if you get all 0000 then you have problems with the IO board or the reel mech.  See what these do for you.

insert coin light is on .  test 4 : the hopper allways paid 31 coins -  test 5 : 0000

test 4 - dispensed 31 coins?  if so - the coin cherry switch on the hopper is most likely out of align - should count out 10 coins.
0000 indicates your reels are not being read correctly - either bad connections - bad IO board - bad reader control board.

must be the i/o board - not one is working the right way - changed that board - error 71 is gone - test 4 is negativ (59 0000) - test five shows 1666 - machine is working but i can't win

hopper switch is defective - try a different hopper.
