New Life Games Tech Forums

Well,  Here is something I am looking at doing after analizing it.  Want to take a s-2000 4-reel back-lit harness and use on 3-reel back-lit.  I have never tried or needed to try this in the past but it looks like it will work, if you adjust/move the blue jumper wire in the "stobbed" off connector on the harness?.  I know a 3-4 or 5 reel back-lit controller board will work in a 3-reel so this looks likes it it will work as well-(To me).  Jeff or Jim please key in on this one and let me know if I am barking up the wrong tree here.  :5- Thanks in advance Barry. 

Well,  Here is one of my new projects.  Started taking down the "freedom stars" this evening. Going to convert to a 3-reel "hy-brid" if you will say.  Thought I would share a few pic's as I went along here.  This Game I am currently fooling with started out in life as a vision-non s-2000 then was upgraded to s-2000 status (cab. wiring etc.) to a 4-reel game.  Now the old girl is once again going to be "trans-formed" into something else!.  This is a halloween transplant!.  :5-  Thanks B.

Here's another reply to my own reply-Duh  :5-.  Was wondering if any one seen it as I had posted it pretty late last night -(About the back-lit deal).  Thanks B.

Good question B  sorry no answer but would not think any harm in trying  :98- NO warranty applied here

 :97- Yeah,  I knew it was a good question -That's why no one is posting back to it!.  I do however think it will work but if it dosen't  :98- Where there's smoke there is fire  :8-  :97-.  Guess I will just experiment with this one and if it does not work out I will just send YOU the bill! :118-. Take care anthony I am now going to  :140- :140- :140- Then it will be good and  :98-  :97-. 

Is that you or the machine thats going to get :98- :98- :98- like a :169-    Take care and  :151-

No, I have not started that part yet.  But when I do and it  :98- YOU get the bill  :118-.  You wanna keep your "peace" with everyone rite?.  Just kidding  :97- Happy Halloween to all.  (I am still sending anthony the bill if it burns)  :97- :118-.  Get ready to pay up Sucker!  :96- :96-.  Later B.

 :56- :56- :56- keep the change :97-

Iwill keep the change  :56- :56- :56- and then some sucker  :98- :118- :126- :107- :110-.  PWRSTROKE OUT  :97-

Well,  1 and 1/2 week later I have finally made the conversion.  A 4-reel back-lit harness will work on a three (3) or a FIVE (5)!.  It was all in only having to jump out two reel plugs and only one jumper wire per connector!.  Also for this conversion had to remove a jumper plug connector coming from back of cab. i/o to let it know it was 3-reel again (not 4-or5)-Thanks Jeff for that tip (idesign).  Sure there was some that knew this would work but did not respond-Maybey they were wanting me to "work" for it? :97-. All in all I don't think a lot of people have had the need to do this but it has been done and proved-out.  So 3-4-5 back-lit s-2000 no-problem!! At least I didn't  :98- something- (anthony).  :96- Thanks Barry.

For future search reference here is the jumper with IGT part number

I bet you wish you had the plugs from Jim earlier but 1 1/2 weeks :3-,darn good and no smoke.

That sure is the jumper plug.  I made one identical to it.  It only jumps two wires.  The 4-reel harness comes with one in it when used as a 4-reel (jumping out reel 5) so when used as 3 reel harness two of these are needed.  I keep a junk wiring box that I can rob connectors etc. from and it has came into good use!.  Thanks B.

Anthony,  When you go to build that new project machine ---Make sure you do not  :98- :98- :98- :98- it!!!!.   :97- :97- :97-.  Good Luck as they say at the casinos --You are going to need it! And a consultant!!!  :97- :97-  Just joking as usual-Barry.
