Title: WMS Bluebird upgrade Post by: jrr922 on January 15, 2010, 02:14:11 AM So I just acquired a CPU/NXT board and upgrade kit. I plan on upgrading my old 550 machine to CPU/NXT. My 550 is a coin in machine with bill validator as well. Will I have any issues installing this board since I havent seen any Bluebirds take coins? I'd rather disable the coin comparitor rather than get a new one/upgrade. Any other issues people have experienced in their own upgrades? I also plan on getting a LCD monitor from Happ also. Thanks for the info! I'd hate to mess anything up since everything is so expensive!

Has to be a MC-40 or Imonex X-10, but if you disable it, yyou should be OK. I just got a MC-40.

Title: Re: WMS Bluebird upgrade Post by: rickhunter on January 15, 2010, 02:25:16 PM Out of curiosity what did your "upgrade kit" contain? If it did not come with an Aux power cable, you REALLY need to get one to avoid instability issues.

Title: Re: WMS Bluebird upgrade Post by: jrr922 on January 31, 2010, 12:35:57 AM The Upgrade Kit contained the Board with 512MB memory card, new power supply to replace old power supply and new power supply wires to power the board, a belly lock kit, a new bill validator wire, and a new door for where the board is. I separately had to acquire the jurisdiction chip and bios for the CPU/NXT board, and the games and OS of course. So basically items 1-5 of your previous "conversion notes and findings" post.
