Title: Slot-Tech Randy Fromm Post by: reho33 on December 29, 2009, 06:16:52 PM How do you guys feel about Randy Fromm? I know he holds the monitor repair schools and casinos do save by having their techs fix machines on the spot. But with the new platforms for server based gaming, their may not be a market for fixing stuff at the component level anymore. I have never seen the inside of a slot lab or repair room, must be wild.

"Wild" is a mild word here... :72- Title: Re: Slot-Tech Randy Fromm Post by: rickhunter on January 04, 2010, 03:19:15 PM He used to be a member here before the board was re-built to comply with the 2.0 software. I have not heard from him since, but the stuff on his site is very good. That's where I started to get some details on mikohn stuff.

FYI, the hardware is more or less the same for server-based machines as it is for conventional machines. Failures will be the same: Power Supplies, displays (LCD of course. Lots of failures here, Power supplies, inverters, CCFL), bill validators, ticket printers (until EFT happens), magcard readers, player interface (touchscreens, buttons), and miscellaneous pinched or open wires, bad connectors, fractured solder joints, corrupted software and a host of other things. Being SBG just adds a layer of complexity. It doesn't make things any simpler or less failure-prone.
