would putting brand  :59-  backlite reels get rid of that little bounce or all of them do it when the reels stop? :103- :103-

Just have a couple of  :253- :198-, that'll take care of the bounce.  :96-

I doubt that using new reels motors would fix the bounce.
Maybe new baskets might fix it.
Since the bounce is caused by reel stepper drivers on the MPU.
Compare the feel of the motors to another s2000 reel and see if you can feel a difference in them just to be sure.
The reel baskets are bit more flexiable on back lit reels compared to standard reel.
The right side can shimmy inline with the rotation as well as move up down forward and back a smidge as well. more than a standard reel basket.
and the back lighting may make the bounce easier to notice.
I have not had a standard reels in my s2000 for some time to compare.

Seems to me we had another thread about this and it devolved just as quickly...   :72- :72- :72- :72-

Well, let's face it; there's not much to do about the bounce, unless it's the result of damaged or weakened components, which is most likely not the case.

My question for you staz is this>>>

Do the reels bounce when the machine is at "idle" or when the reels become to a stop?

If the reels are bouncing while the machine is at rest...
the problem may lay with oxidized reel stepper harness pins.

Or the reel resistors on the reel boards are going out of specifications
and may need to be replaced.
However, that involves board level repairs which I'm not sure you are familiar with?

If the reels are doing a little bounce when they come to a stop after a regular spin -
then I would say that's pretty normal.
Also, the heat inside of the machine may be too high?
I'm only guessing when I say that your exhaust fan is not working?
The excessive heat may be softening the plastic reel baskets to a pulp fiction... :72-
What is the temperature inside of your machine around the reel glass area? :159-

im thinking 70 degrees, but they bounce a fraction when the reels come to a stop after spinning..... i gues its pretty normal i saw a lot of my type of machines at the casino do the same thing..... wierd though how ballys dont bounce at all  and igt's bounce....

70 degrees? You're only guessing right? lol...
I don't think any machine is 70 degrees internally unless it's OFF - inside a warm house.  :96-

At warmer temperatures, a little bounce is nice!
When it's cooler, it's a much more pointed issue!
