What is this display good for in a home system?  All my machines have the guts removed leaving only the vacuum florescent display plugging the hole. Has anyone come up with a add-on circuit to make it scroll someting cool?

This photo is in a Bally 5500.  My IGT S+ has one too.  Without really looking to closely, I think they are both the same, just the display and a single PCB which the display is soldered to.

It connects to a tracking display board....I have the whole unit but could never get anything but error codes to display on it. no
The card reader doesnt read anything I have bawling...you have to have the program swipe cards in order for anything to be displayed on this thing....as I have like four of these, it would be nice to hook it up to some type of bonus or progressive program. yes
There's absolutely no way I know of to get this thing to communicate with an S+...let alone a Bally, which I know nothing about Duh!

That's too bad.  It would be pretty neat to get them to scroll a custom message like "welcome to my home casino" or what ever. 

I never even thought about using the card reader for anything.  I wouldn't expect to get much more out of the card reader though, a a string of numbers or your name maybe. 

I wish I new how to program those PIC microprocessors.  You see a lot of those LCD displays on EBay with customizable messages using PICs.  That just may be a starting point.
