It might be available and I don't know how to change it. I could set it up as a regular S+ I have spare chips but would that option carry over?

And I am sorry I am not familiar with the diagnostic setting. Could you enlighten me?

Ok when I toggle the credit mode on and off the relay on the meter board clicks, if I unplug the meter board and hit the cashout button the machine will add a credit to the machine, but only once. Pushing the button again with it unplugged just cashes it out. But if I plug it in and out again it will add another credit.

It is clear that this is more then just a meter board and it must affect the way that this system works.

rs diagnostic  tests (settings)   each time you press the test button it should go through the list of tests menus available.

input tests (10_1) winner paid window, output tests, (10) wpw, 50 audio tests, display tests, hopper tests etc,  hopper limits etc.
as you advance toward these tests you should see a 5_0, 5_1,  on the display. its' here you would change this option.

every thing is there except 5_0 and 5_1. The only 5 I see is in the credits played window and it appears to be a reel strip test.

that's what I was thinking, that's its not available on a RS  chip. 

its hard to remember all the items about a RS / "S"  machine. 

probably have to try and set it up using S+ chips and HOPE it will carry over.

Not much else I can add or suggest.

Yes that is what I mean. In this case if it is toggled to drop from the hopper as opposed to going to the credit window then the bill is stolen, when I toggle it to credit then the bill is accepted and the credits go to credit display.

Ok, this has me a little confused. Because the cash/credit should only affect how wins are paid. But in this case it is affecting how bill credits are applied.

I have a few questions. If you have it set for credit and insert a dollar, it goes to credit correct? What happens if you insert another dollar at this point (before playing the game)?

On some S+ games one of the dip switches determies if bills go to credit or 'make change'. Perhaps it's one of the DIP switches set wrong.  But I don't know if S machines have DIP switches. Are these set the same way as the original MPU?

If a second dollar is inserted then it will add the credits so one becomes two. As for the dips they are the same as the original board as far as I know.

I think it is different here only because of the less then standard way this machine is setup.

Are you absolutely sure it did not work this way before the problem? Does the machine default to cedit mode?

No it defaults to cash and in a half an hour another tech that has been here longer will arrive and I will ask him. But I am fairly certain that this was not a problem before.

Well good news I figured it out, the first menu option [1--1] it the setting, switching between player choice (defaulting to cash) and credit only.

Thanks for all your help

Glad you got it working.

I think the big lesson here is don't assume a replacement part is good unless you have verified it. Espeically in a oddball machine like this.

Wow, finally resolved.  Great!   applause  applause

You may want to confirm that you're able to put more than five credits in the machine, but other than that it sounds like you're back up and running!

You tried keying [1-1] earlier but it didn't work.
Now we know that MPU was no good.
I'd throw that headache as far away into the bushes as you can...  Tongue Out
Glad you got it going.
Now ask your cheap boss if he'll sell me the Stepper Tester machine...  rotflmao

Mark  He did, he had my 5 reel S+ board in it.  ( I bought another 5 Reel S+ )  Same game, Blue Thunder, White cabinet 31" round top.  Joey also has a test stand for Game King / I Game with a touch screen.  Sure makes it a lot easier.

That's why I built "Young Frankenstein" for testing S+ stuff here at work...
Makes it so much easier to swap and change parts around upstairs in a closed room
away from the hustle bustle on the live game room floor with nosy people peering in behind you over your shoulder...  Tongue Out


"Does it work now?" is a line I wish I have 5 cents for every time I've heard it.
I'd have my own casino by now!  rotflmao
