After reading the thread about coloring/paining the back of the reel strips, I am ready to try this.  Double Gold S2000
If I would buy the kit via eBay, is it plug and play?

- Is a set or clear chip need to turn the feature on?
- My strips are gold backs, can I still color them?
- Any other info I need?

Thanks as always

Hmmm...before painting these, I would install the backlit kit first and see what the gold backed Double Gold strips look like as-is on backlit reels.  The painting isn't a quick project.  I did it meticulously on my RW&B kit and it was a good 2-3 hours.

 Scratch Head  I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the gold back strips will perform as back lit strips, meaning the light will shine through them as though they have black backs.

Not sure what you mean about "plug n play". are you referring to the game kit itself or the backlit reels? If you don't have light bulbs on your reel baskets now, you will not have backlit reels after installing a different game/set of strips. You need to buy a backlit reel conversion kit and install the new reel baskets and reel control board.

Save yourself the headache and buy a Clear and Key chip. Most of the time, will need a Clear and a Key to change games. Some have done it without, but if you own an S2000, you will, sometime, in the future need a Clear and Key chip. Not worth waiting on a set when you absolutely need them...not for $20.

As far as Plug and Play:  The game is up and running as-is.

I was going to buy the kit that has:
3- backlit reels
controller
harnesses

If I install those, does the backlit reels work?  (minus the issue of coloring the strips)

I purchased two of those kits from Roger.
As I remember, I did not have to clear the machine.
During start up it recognizes the new hardware during "Netplex Configuring"

From what I heard Roger is not there anymore
spoke to him many times great guy.

Not sure if those strips will light up with the gold backing
but for the price that's a good deal for a complete backlit reel kit.

Yah, it's a decent deal. We sell the kits for $70 with Free Shipping (and shipping has never cost us below $15).

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm going to get a set on its way...
For that price it can't hurt even if the strips prove to be an issue.

Hopefully the machine will recognize them as you mentioned above.  Clap

Tim, when did you hear this?  I just bought some stuff from Roger a month ago and talked to him on the phone.

Jason  Trust me he's not there anymore, as of two weeks ago. And like Mr Gump said " that's all I have to say about that."
