IGT S-PLUS INFO

[mike5c55]

Morning all, got a Haywire 3 reel, for my birthday and got some problems with it. done a little looking on here and tried to fix some of them but I am a little under water lol. It is an IGT S-PLUS mfd 1989. has a JCM DBV-145-PB2-0500-A544 bill acceptor. sucks a bill in and holds it. tried to reset it with the self test and jackpot key but think i screwed it up. any info on self test settings and dip settings on the JCM would be helpful. Loving the machine but trouble shooting material is hard to find.

You said the DBV "holds it"...
Does the DBV spit the bill back out?
Do you have any error codes on the display?
Close the door with the latch fully down and tell us what numbers come up.\

Stick in a $1 dollar bill.

[mike5c55]

no error codes, takes bill almost all the way in to the can but stops like the signal is trying to be approved.

[stayouttadabunker]

Does it come back out?
If not, check the pathway to the can.
Maybe something's blocking it?

[mike5c55]

and sorry holds bill no send back until you reset

[stayouttadabunker]

Just the simple act of lifting the handle latch up then pushing fully down resets the machine.
There's no need to turn the Jackpot key or press the little white Test button.
Did the bill acceptor work when you first got it?
Make sure the cash can is fully inserted all the way back into the holder.
The gears need to mesh.

[mike5c55]

wasn't working when i first got it, dad told me it worked and dosn't know when it quit working. is there a setting in the input mode that sets up the bill acceptor?

[Jim]

is this bill acceptor located next to the hopper, or is it next to the reels?

[mike5c55]

to the right of the reels

you probably have a western money system in your machine. If I recall there were two types of aftermarket units put on S+ machines. unless you can find a working sub. then I think you might have to deal with the machine as it is.  I don't think any of the aftermarket units could be upgraded to a 200 head.  If your system has an old money chip in it then thats what it is. they used a top stack system similiar to Bally.  with a door on the side to remove the cash can.

[mike5c55]

yep, no door though, turn key and unit slides out cash can and all

[mike5c55]

have an s+ machine haywire mfd1989 w/dbv-145 top load transport w/eprom attached to bvd assy. how do you setup bvd ex. 9-1, 22 or 23 settings and denomination. it is a .50 machine that takes 2 quaters. walk me through it while i still have some hair left.








Merged from JCM-DBV bill validator board.  SF

[stayouttadabunker]

Oh! I remember those things....it's actually inside of the
machine cabinet against the right wall!
They have gray ribbon cable on the floor of it and a hole in the
metal base plate where you can see the eprom chips.
Those things are ancient!
They had a triangular base bracket which bolted to the reel shelf.

They cannot be upgraded at all I believe...?
You may be only able to use bills made prior to 1990...old bills.
Before the vertical lines were put in them.
They were made by a company called "Sevens Systems Inc."

A friend of mine who sells machines throws away those old Western Money System validators -- he says that they're much more trouble than they're worth.

[mike5c55]

here is what it is doing now lol, when you reset the bvd makes several noises and the transoprter runs to the top of the tray and no insert bill light will come on. still takes coins, but no bills. it has an upgraded bvd-45 new $ eprom installed. any ideas?

[mike5c55]

also give me a run down on waht i can replace it with? a bvd 200? will power supply work?

You're gonna to need to change the DBV power supply and get a shorter reel shelf.
slot machines unlimited has them >>>

What game chip are you using? Some of the older game chips will do that on a newer bv

[mike5c55]

SP 1085

[slots4home]

That one should work fine. that is not the problem.

[StatFreak]

mike5c55, I merged your two threads. There is no need to start a second thread on the same issue; it only causes confusion when members end up posting in both topics.


Post is now reply #11 in this thread.

In the interest of clarification:

BVD:

("Bradley, Voorhees & Day")


DBV:

("Dollar Bill Validator")

 

[stayouttadabunker]

I wonder what knagl would have put up if he had said VDB? 

[Jim]

I can understand that you want to get this up and running, apparently the stacker is not working, somewhere on the unit should be the name of the company who made it. you could google the name and see if they are still in business. perhaps they would have parts or offer service.

without seeing the machine ,I'll guess the main logic board is located along the front left wall, that's why the bill acceptor is where it is.  In my opinion its not worth it to attempt to modify the machine. You could probably buy a different machine with a factory bill acceptor cheaper than you could trying to get this bill acceptor working.

you CANNOT add a bill acceptor to this machine WITHOUT major modifications.there simply isn't enough room. that's why the bill acceptor is where it is.

S+ models like yours were changed to accept factory bv's. board was moved to the back of the machine, hopper was moved over to the left, etc. to make room.
