Title: Low Battery code on a Sigma Free-n-Easy machine
Post by: Jenn on January 22, 2010, 04:37:30 PM
Hi everyone,

My name is Jenn and I am wondering if anyone would be able to help me.  I am interested in purchasing a slot machine for my husband for his 40th birthday.  I however have absolutely no experience or knowledge of slot machines.  I have found a machine that interests me.  It is a Sigma Free-n-Easy slot machine.  In the ad the seller stated that as of right now there is a low battery code displayed.  Since I have no clue about slot machines I am wondering if anyone would be nice enough to let me know if this is an easy thing to correct especially for someone completely inexperienced?  Thanks so much!!! :-)

If you're handy with a soldering gun, the battery is located at the front right corner of the board.
It's a big Sanyo battery about the size of a quarter.
If you place an ad in the "Classifieds" section of MLG, I'm sure one of our vendors
will spot your ad and try to help you out! :89-

If you don't know how to use a soldering gun, then you may have to take out the board
and take it to a shop that deals with slot machines and
someone in there may be able to change out the battery for ya!

Thanks for the info!!  Just curious, is a $500 asking price a reasonable price for this machine with that type of code as well?  Does anyone one know?  Thanks!!!

Too much! and I am concerned that the EPROM says "Treasure Tunnel" and it's a "Free N' Easy". Usually the "treasure WHEEL" is a free N' Easy...

You can turn the low battery check off and the game will play fine. Is 500 to much...depends on where you live. Are you paying for shipping?

I live in the Milwaukee area and no I wouldn't be paying for shipping.  I would however be driving about an hour to pick up the unit, if I decide to commit to this machine.  Does anyone know how I would go about getting in contact with someone in my area regarding advice in purchasing/basic knowledge of slot machines?  I have attempted to do a general search on slot machine technicians/repair, but haven't had much luck.  Thanks you all for your knowledge and patience with me and my naiveness as far as slot machine inexperience!!  I definitely appreciate it!!!   :88-

Congrats!  If you need any help once you get it - I'll be glad to do what I can - although I don't know anything about Sigma machines.  I can even solder on a new battery if you need help with that :)
