Jimmy, when I do the Ram reset I assume this is with the hopper installed correct?  I'm sure that will clear it because the guy I got it from at the convention had someone hit it for over 1000 coins and he cleared it then  the game played until he hit the cash out button. I tried weeks back to call him but he never returned my phone calls. No biggie cause it was cheap and I'm getting great help from you guys on this site. I don't  know why I didn't read other sections of the manual, I got centered on the trouble shooting logic trees...also I don't know if I mentioned it but the mother board is labeled SG-88 and not  SG-300. It has all the same things as in the SG-300 schematic just in different places.

SG-300 is the model of the machine...The SG88m is the MPU board used in varies models...It should not matter if you have the hopper in or not when doing the RAM clear...Let me know if the RAM clear works or not.

No, I did the Ram clearing with the hopper in and there was no difference  or changes to what it has been doing previously. When I get back home I will try it with the hopper out. I'm wondering if the issue may be with the hopper PCB? Thanks on the bill validate info. It was right  there too on page 2-11. I've done some reading in other chapters and know when we talked about the optic sensors in the hopper. The sensor was an option for the hopper and neither of the two I have got that option, they both have micro switches.

As far as I know the SG150 & SG300 models have optic sensors and not micro-switches...Also the hopper for the SG300 has a smaller bowl (FYI)...Let me know what the number on the GAL chip is...Did the machine say it was doing a RAM clear or did you just go thru the motions?

LOL! Well yes you called that right. I was by myself and was unable to read the screen while I was holding the button and rest key. So i was "going through the motions." So I got home and had the wife read the display and it went just as you advised and was able to reset the Ram. So it does play now...thanks!  I did try the "cash out"  and it did not cash out and caused the malfunction again but we just went back through the Ram reset and it was playable again. Well at least it plays, better than being a 250 paper weight.  I would assume I can now get in the regular menu and try a hopper test but will that tell me if it is the hopper or some other  issue?

As I was saying at the convention the seller did get the hopper to dispense some coins before the malfunction then no more dispense. He said he had changed out the hopper prior to the show and that's why he felt it was just a bad hopper. I did some looking for a hooper and found one on "Rudy,s Deals" that was suppose to be for a SG-300. It is a big hopper but did fit and I did find the hopper that was in there when I got it had a seized up motor. So I don't know if I should try another hopper...any thoughts or suggestions where I should buy parts? Thank You As Always! Ray

Glad to hear you got your machine playing again!  applause
As far as the hopper goes, I disconnect my cashout buttons
so my kids don't "accidentally" hit it   Tongue Out

I have done a lot of business with "Rudys"...Take to Nicole and see if they have a hopper for a SG300...If you have a sigma hopper already and it has the right bowl, then you can get a hopper with a large bowl and swap them out...I am glad things seem to be working out for you...Glad to help...I love Sigma's and have worked on many...

Guess who? Ok now after a 165 credit win the white candle and alarm went  off  and the display now says "wires to meters disconnected" I was able to get the credits counted by turning the reset key twice several times until the credits were listed. Bells and candle went out played a few more time and it duplicated several more times....I assume it ment wire to the counters on the right side. Checked them and all looks good anybody have any thoughts ? Thanks!

On your cpu board locate SW 2, The small switches on the front of the board.
Turn number 10 off (or opposite the way it is now, With no credits on the machine and see if that helps.
That turns off the wire cut check circuit.

My internet went out...YOU bet me to the response...Jim is correct...Try turning off the dip switch and that should take care of that issue...Also I turn off the battery dip switch...I don't have the manual in front of me at the moment, but it should be in yours...If not, let me know...

I see the two wires running to it along with a piggie back wire from another switch...where i assume is for power....any hints? Ray

Hi Ray,
Just pull the micro switch out of the button.
There are two little plastic pins, Or little points that hold the micro switch on/into the button.
Or you can just pull a wire off the switch.
But I think you need the cashout button working if you are changing the settings.
Thats why I leave the wires attached, and just let the switch hang down.

I hope this makes some sense   Tongue Out
