Just picked up my first machine for our game room and I hope its not more than I can handle. Got it off eBay and I know it has issues that will need to be addressed. It's the IGT triple play and no I don't have it yet but the current owner says that it "isn't functioning right". Not sure what I should take away from that. I have good technical skills, built my own bar, MAME, etc. I figure at the very least I will need the eeprom for resetting it? Any thoughts? I will post pics as soon as I get it in and thanks for all the great info and making it available.

Good possibility is that you will have a "12" error code on the machine which means that the 3.6v  battery soldered to the MPU board will need to be replaced. Like cowboy said, take a picture of the machine with the game turned on and that will help. Be careful with your slot though, they have a tendency to multiply. Congrats on your new machine!

Thanks for the quick and numerous replies. I'll pay attention and get the pics up and hopefully there aren't too many advanced issues to deal with.

Pretty sure you have an S+ machine, if so, it's a workhorse and should be fairly easy to get back to functioning again.

This is the picture from eBay if it helps with identification.

Yep, that's an S+ that needs a new battery. You'll also need a programming chip if you want the BV to work after the change

your in luck! You have a dead battery on the main board (common problem) If you can desolder the old one off and resolder a new one on, it's a 3.6 v battery. You can also take the main board out of the machine (remove the hopper and look towards the back of the machine) There should be a black knob/handle on the middle of the board, lift it upwards to release it from where it connects to the bottom board inside the machine. Take that complete board with you to a Battery Source store or a Batteries Supplies Plus and they will match up the 3.6v battery that you need ( cost @ 5-8 dollars) and can remove the old one and install the new one on the board ( usually at no charge). Take it back home and install the board back into your machine, making sure it lines up with the grooves on each side and fits snugly back into the bottom board. Put the hopper back into the machine, making sure it lines up correctly too and fits snog into the connector in the back of the machine. ( DO ALL OF THIS WITH THE MACHINE POWERED DOWN) After both the main board and the hopper are installed correctly, turn your machine on, leaving the main door open. You should see a "61" show up in your display, if so then open the door up and press the small white test button one time on the inside muddle right area inside the machine, the "61" should change to a "61-1" if so then close your main door and make sure your door latch is all the way down. Turn your jackpot re set key on the outside right of your machine once clockwise, the machine should then re set, spin the reels one time and be ready to play. You will probably have to have a bill validator reset chip to establish your bill acceptor again, which can be bought from one of the many excellent vendors at the top of the page (it will come with instructions on how to re set it so that it will take paper money)

Sorry for the long explanation, but that will get you going in the right direction.

Finally got my machine in and everything went like clockwork until ... coins keep locking up in the entryway of the top of the coin slot. Followed all instructions, new battery is in, reset the game chip but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks.

When you open the door and look at the coin comparator ( just below the coin entry) is there a sample quarter in the coin comparator? There needs to be a coin in there for it to accept coins.

There was not. I put one in. For some reason the quarters are not registering as credits though. Time to go back to step 1 and find out why.

Thanks for the quick reply!

For some reason the coin comparitor isn't recognizing any new quarters! Do I need to get a new one? Or how do I go about fixing this? I already found out my DBV is so out of date I can only use old cash on it. Hopefully not the same with the coins.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

First try adjusting the sensitivity on the coin compairator. There is a small pot through the hole where the decal show the curved arrow with the + and - sign.

If that doesn't work, look below the red connector with the orange wires and you will see a small white switch. Press it and see if the machine coins up once with each push. If it does coin up the optics are good.

Then pull the coin compairator from the 4 plastic clips that hold it to the frame. With the wires still attached to the compairator you can open the belly glass door and fish the compairator and wiring to the front of the machine. Close the door and be sure the sample coin in installed properly. The compairator LED should illuminate now with the door closed and latched. Hold the compairator in your hand and drop a quarter trough the top. Note what side the coin comes out the bottom. If it comes out the side where the wire harness connects that's the accept side and the compairator is working properly. If it comes out the other side that's the reject side that would return the coin to the tray.

Ok, it's recognizing 3 out of 4 quarters now. I adjusted the comparitor 1st, all the way CCW and a quarter turn CW. This did nothing. I checked the seating of the coin in the comparitor, seemed ok. Pulled the comparitor through the glass front as suggested and the coin is coming through the accept side. Except when it's not. Then it ends up either going straight to the hopper without registering a credit or rejected into the tray. More fine tuning? New comparitor? This is a CC16-D VAC R1, if that helps anyone.

Thanks,  Kevin
