How to Identify this IGT Slot Machine

[StatFreak]

Let's back up even further.

Mantaramian, go back and read Jim's post (reply #7) and knagl's post (reply #12). If the machine passes all of Jim's tests, it is most likely a working machine or one that will need only minor repairs.

If you fix the machine before buying it, you'll only end up losing your deal and helping the seller. There is every indication that the only thing this machine needs is a coin in the comparitor. You can certainly try pressing the white button on the optic board with the door open to see if the machine coins up and plays, but if the seller is standing there... 

Also, given your location, I wouldn't offer more than $150 unless it's a rare theme or you can determine that it's running or very close to it. Also check for a DBV200 head. If it has a DBV145, drop the price another $25-50 to cover upgrading the head and possibly the DBV PS. You can drive to AZ, NV, or the southern part of your state and you will find nice, clean S+ machines at great prices if you're patient. Just browse Craigslist for a while.

So, I have not forgotten about you all.... I just needed a weekend off to go fishing....... I should have satyed home insted.......

I just got back from checking the power to the Coin Comparitor, its 24V AC. Not I did take notice tot the candel above and made the following observation......

The White Light is flashing at a steady Flash (one that could be counted easly)

However the bottom Yellow Light flashes at a pace that is very hard to count.....

Other than getting the correct AC Coin Comparitor what else am I missing???

The picture of the comparitor you posted is the correct one for the machine. Place a sample coin in it and try it.

That pattern indicates a tilt  or a all pays. That is why we need to know:
1. Door closed (make sure it's latched all of the way), power it up. What is displayed on the front and what is the candle doing?
2. Open the door. What is displayed on the front and what is the candle doing.

Ok, maybe a silly question because it's late, but with the door closed have you turned the reset key in case it's locked up in hand pay mode?

Also have you tried pressing that white button on the comparator to see if it puts a credit on the machine and you can play it?'

He already tried that earlier.

He has never posted that he has tried this in the S+ machine. He posted he tried it in a video machine and the LED was on.

I took this to mean he tried it in both machines with the coin. And we asked him several times about it.

The coin comparitor that I have displayed is the one that I am not sure if it is the correct one, currently I am able to put the coin comparitor in a video poker machine and the led lights up and functions correctly with a coin in (my son took the quarter out when we were tinkering)
