Title: Progressive display basics - IGT Vision Post by: DorothyMacaw on September 23, 2010, 01:14:42 PM Good Morning
I am looking at my Ms. LGM Vision and thinking it needs more lights and feel a progressive display will do that. What parts am I looking for? It is an older 1998 machine and I assume never had a progressive display installed. - Dorothy Title: Re: Progressive display basics - IGT Vision Post by: stormrider on September 23, 2010, 01:26:11 PM Good Morning I am looking at my Ms. LGM Vision and thinking it needs more lights and feel a progressive display will do that.

LGM supports a progressive maybe another member can confirm that here anyway if that was the case you could always get a Mikohn progressive setup and have a scrolling message thing going on.

Easiest and cheapest way to get a progressive display in a S2000/Vision is with an IGT Spectrum Display. There is actually one on eBay right now for $40 + ship (you will also need a cable) - http://cgi.ebay.com/IGT-SPECTRUM-NETPLEX-SLOT-MACHINE-DISPLAY-/220667199796 (http://cgi.ebay.com/IGT-SPECTRUM-NETPLEX-SLOT-MACHINE-DISPLAY-/220667199796). Mikon's are great and have more options available (scrolling messages, etc) - but they can be tricky to install/configure and costs start around $200 I believe for everything you need. The biggest problem with a progressive display in an IGT machine is where to put it if your glass doesn't have a spot for it. Check out this thread http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=762.0 (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=762.0) to see where/how I installed mine. You can also buy some toppers with progressive displays in them.

As much as I like the idea of scrolling messages as well as the progressive amount, I think I'd better stay at the "Baby steps" mindset for now.
Dpalmi - Your excellent post was what inspired me to start thinking about this. You mentioned that the Vision needed an additional board, well more of a splitter. I'll go take a look at the Ebay offering. - Dorothy Title: Re: Progressive display basics - IGT Vision Post by: dpalmi on September 23, 2010, 02:32:16 PM Hello Dorothy!
If this is the machine you just added the bonus screen to the topbox then you will need a Netplex Distribution board in the topbox. Both the bonus display and the Spectrum use Netplex - the Distribution board allows you to have multiple Netplex devices in the topbox. Dan #2 |
