hi all

just wondering if any1 knows where to get coin mechanism and optic board for an IGT joker poker machine?


dont know if i need both the coin mech or just the optic board.
is there a way to test that coin mech is ok?
the green LED light doesnt light up when machines turned on or is that because theres a fault with the optic board

If this is indeed a PE or a PE+ should it not have a 24V comparitor?? The green LED will not light up with the door open. With door optics and everything hooked up as it should be, when you drop a coin in where does the coin go, to the tray or to the hopper?  Some one correct me if I'm wrong, but it would seem if the coin goes to the tray, the Comparitor is not working, and if coin goes to hopper with out giving a credit the optics are at fault. Here is where I'm getting confused. In the picture of the comparitor, looks like a small coin installed. are you using this comparitor with the $2.00 optics? 

hi Buzz

the coin come out in the tray when i put it in it doesn't go to the hopper.
the coin in the comparator measure 3cm or 1 1/8inches in diameter.
everything was hooked up properly i think, i disconnected the door optic so that i could play without putting coins and just press the button on optic board. is there a way to test if the coin comparator working correctly??

if you need anymore info please let me know

The coin comparitor you have is the wrong one I think...
It's a 12 volt one...grreen wires  :60-
I think you need a 24 volt one...( with gray wires)
That one HAS to be fried! :98-
Place an ad in the "Classifieds" section of NLG for another PE coin Comparitor.

i have this 1 here it worked in another machine but the machines got a "coin in time out" fault and is an older model
is there anyway of testing see if its OK???

Turn this little screw counter clock-wise all the way to the left
and try dropping some coins through it with the door closed.
Let us know what happens>>>

Bunker I think the door optics are disabled

its all go now bunker and buzz

cheers for the help it now takes coins    :131- 

i just changed the coin comparitors over and now it taking the coins

im sure i tried swapping them the other day  lol  :30-  :25-

last question is it OK to use without coins using the optic switch and disabling the door??? jut want to know if it is safe and not going to break my machine???

thanks again guys

It is safe to do so.
The machine probably will not record any accounting or statistical soft or hard meters.
Probably other things that do not function as they normally would in normal game play: Handpay, jackpot etc.

cheers Foster i have no jackpot and not going to be doing hand payout.

cheers

When you get a chance, please post a picture of your door optics
and maybe a member will be glad to help you out!
Let's see this puppy!

heres a pic of the door optic cable, ive unplugged it. its just easier to use without reloading coins

but i did want the option of using coins and now i can do both
