Yea, I noticed, there is no way to get a 65 win on that game and no win on payline, also does not look like the beak is on the bv in the pic with the door closed or has wrong beak

    you don't leave rocks unturned   

Nice one!!!

And the wires you circled in the pic are for the player tracking, the board they plug into on the bottom of the machine is known as the motherboard, you can pull the plug you circled out, it is not needed for your game to function

To further elaborate, the bare connectors on the motherboard in the section you circled are for a progressive connection (to a linked progressive controller) -- they're not necessary for your bill validator to be enabled.

At the end we concluded there is a mechanic problem in his WBA unit that is not allowing the normal run of the stacker motor.

We did test both motors.  Transport motor working OK.  Stacker motor not ok and shooting down leds.

He found some gears blocked and strange noises during tests.

Sent him the unit exploded in a PDF file as well as a JCM training program for he to have fun the next weekend.

"wishiwas":  remember to post here if you find the fault's reason for us to get some learning out of your issue!!! 

Best regars to all my NLG fellows!

I noticed on the picture of the head it said IDO 24. This is S2000 protocal. I wounder if the transport EPROM is for a S2000 as well ? I saw the software level was 3.00-041 on the transport chip.

The eprom as marked is for ID 023B not 022/23, I sent a message but didn't get a response so guess he got it figured out

Blueridge, what information are you looking for? I am a newbie, so bear with me.

Ok, here is the update.
I took the BV to work. I unplugged the motors from the board and sent power to them directly with a toy power supply.
The transport motor was running very poorly and was noisy as hell!
I oiled all the gears and right down the middle spindle of the motor. A few seconds later, the motor was quite and ran real smooth! I was so happy, I almost couldn't wait to get home.
I did the same for the stacker motor. This motor ran a little more quite but I oiled it and the gears as well.
I finally got home and ran the dipswitch tests with dip 1 first.
Well, it was bogged down again. I didn't bring home the oil, but I could tell the problem was in the acceptor head.
I pulled that out, and it ran nice and fast. I put the acceptor head back in and keep pushing the wheels there. It eventually ran a little smoother, but could use oil.
Now the big test, switch #3!
Well, dud! Nothing happened. The 2 led lights did stay solid, but the stacker motor did nothing.
I double checked I was plugged in and unplugged then replugged it in to be sure. Nothing happened when I re-ran the test.
Next I tried something crazy. I swapped motors. I took the gears etc from the stacker and put it on the transport.
The same thing happened.
One thing I forgot to mention, I am getting a slight smell now of burnt electronics. Once you smell that smell, you know what it is.
So at this point, I can only assume whatever part runs the stacker motor is dead.

You guys rock! I want to thank everyone for the great suggestions!

I'm sure Blueridgeslots can give you a hand finding the parts you need to fix your BV in case it's indeed burned somewhere....  or even better:  get a guaranteed replacement with working software etc etc,, from him!!

Without the correct version software you could have brand new hardware and the BV won't work in the game, my guess is someone bought the machine off ebay with the BV pulled due to the ebay BS policy of accepting currency, then bought a "will fit" BV off ebay for a bargain price and said "that other guy is way too high" then when put it in figured out the bargain wasn't a bargain, but my offer is still open, I have the correct head and transport, fully upgraded to the newest software available for your game, calibrated and tested, also have the correct beak as well, I have WBA-12 or 13 the 12 would be a bit cheaper, and a better deal as there is no further upgrade for the S+ than the new $10

.....then bought a "will fit" BV off ebay for a bargain price and said "that other guy is way too high" then when put it in figured out the bargain wasn't a bargain.....

Slots world is so complex that is usual to see this kind of situations...  Too many different details that make the diference.

At least people have sites like this to get some advice...
