Title: S+ Improvised change button light and Quick hopper test videos
Post by: stayouttadabunker on September 08, 2009, 01:56:55 PM
Okay,
Please bear with my junky video....I made it in about 2 minutes without editing...lol

Crimp a couple of wires about a foot long onto a couple of clips and shove 'em onto either side of the change light switch.
Grab the black 6-pin line bet wire light molex.
The molex might be stuck in with the door harness.
Pull the molex out over the top of the back door panel and shove one wire into the 1st hole (light blue wire).
Take the other wire from the other side of your change switch and shove it into the 3rd hole (gray w/orange stripe) on the black molex.

Voila! when you close the door....it ought to light up!
I'd put some neat colored LEDs in it though and go with white legends...the colors really shine through!

Are there any buttons that I could replace my current buttons with that would look a bit nicer?  Also, I'm attaching a photo of my WICO agitator that's in the hopper.  I unscrewed it from the hopper yesterday and cleaned it, but it's looking a bit shot.  Occasionally, it seems like the hopper stalls kicking the coins out.  Would a new agitator help with this?  Thanks!

That agitator doesn't look too bad, but your hopper doesn't have a lot of coins in it.  In the casino they'd typically be FULL almost all the time, as coins inserted would go to the hopper until it was full (with additional coins being diverted to the drop box in the stand).

The agitator really is ONLY effective when there's quite a bit of coins in there.
However, I would like to add that the hopper WILL work with only a handful of coins.
A lot depends on how bad the pinwheel slits are worn out...
Watch closely in the short little video I put together to show you what I mean...
You'll see that even with a very little amount of coins,
the pinwheel will try it's best to pick up the coins...
when it's very worn out like mine is...LOL...it has a hard time picking them up....
The few coins in there will "sit" against the pinwheel
by the weight of other coins pushing them onto the pinwheel pickups.
Other times, the coins are "leaning" towards the bowl and
they won't get picked up by the pinwheel slots.
Please, please don't stick your fingers in there like I did....use the eraser tip of a pencil at least...LOL
