IGT PE Plus multi poker slant door switch

[KirknDee]

I have tried what you mention in reply 15. I reset the senativity all the way to minus. I also looked at the dollar bill validate article and followed that. The dollar bill validator cycles just as it should and is installed correctly. The dollar bill goes in and after a period of maybe 20 seconds comes back out when in the test mode and it lights up. The coins drop right on thru to top bin just as before.  When I push the small white button on the coin validator I can play a game with the door open and if I win the coins are dispensed normally. I also noticed when I press that white button and am in test mode ( first screen anfter pushing test button next to power on / off) it lets the B coin change from 1 to 0. I cleaned the coin validator by dissemble and checked it on another machine, ok. I see I have a 1 on coin out is that what should show. I read about using the cardboard trick and testing the coin acceptor or trying another test that has you remove the coin acceptor but leave it connected. Should I try any of those?

Kirk  When you had the rake blocked open, did the coin fall to the hopper or to the tray ??

[KirknDee]

If I did it correctly the coins went to the tray.

[Buzz]

Let's do a little coin comparator 101.   With the machine in idle  the rake in the CC is closed, you drop a coin in and  CC reads the coin and if it's accepted as a good coin the rake opens and the coin falls through the coin optics, and is counted as one credit, coin contunes it's falls into the hopper.

Now with the rake blocked open every coin should drop through the coin optics to the hopper. Let me warn you this idea of blockng the rake open is not a good idea. Reason being each and every coin droped iinto the coin head will go to the hopper. With the rake blocked open you can and will have folks dropping all kinds of different size coins into the hopper. You can even drop a flat washer in and it will be counted as a good coin. But OHH S**t  look at the MESS you have in the hopper.

[KirknDee]

I blocked the rake open and the coin goes to the hopper. The coin detector b and c change from a 1 to a 0 when the coin passes thru.
Thanks for the fast response even on a Holiday weekend. I have sick and that slowed me down yesterday and this morning.

[Buzz]

OK With the coins going to the hopper they should be counted as a good coin and add credits. can you play a game ??

[KirknDee]

No I cannot play a game. The dollar bill acceptor is not lit and coins go to the hopper but are not counted. Like I mentioned coin acceptor for A never changes from a 1 to a 0. I tried adjusting the coin acceptor and that did not change anything.

Kirk

[KirknDee]

I changed out the coin acceptor. I removed the blocked rake in the one I put back into another machine and it works normally. I blocked the rake on the new coin acceptor and after reinstalling it I still show a 1 all the time on coin detector even when a coin is put in and goes to the hopper. I also show a 1 on coin out but I believe that is normal because I checked the hopper payout system.

I unplugged the optic board and all 1's changed to 0's as it should. I also checked the output optics and they are fine. I removed the main board and reseated it and powered back up no changes. I do have a fast blink lower candle but that doesn't mean much, normally wold be door open, but the door open on screen goes away when I close the main door but I still have the candle. This post is in addition to my prior.

[Lyzard]

are the coins beeing accepted (go into the hopper ) with the door closed i have one of these and have noticed that it will not accept coins (to enable game play ) with the door open and the candle lights will go out once a game is played with door closed

Lyzard

[KirknDee]

he coins go into the hopper but are not credited. You can not play a game except using the white button on the coin acceptor. I cannot play the game at all with the door closed on this slant. I remove the main board and reseated it but that didn't help.

Kirk

[KirknDee]

i agree with putting the rake back to normal. This there any way to use one of my other IGT games, triple diamond, blazing sevens, cats and dogs to check to see if this main board is OK?

[Buzz]

No A S+ board will not work in a PE/PE+

I know you want to use the machine and all of us would like to hear that it's working.  On your BV try this, with the two thumb screws loose in the front. hold down the front of the BV head with your right hand and push down on the Red lever with your left hand. If the rear of the transport moves up, you don't have it installed correctly. Until you have installed a couple of them they can be a little tricky to get those two ears in the right spot.

[KirknDee]

I do believe the rear moves up. I remember reading some where that they are supposed too but I am incorrect a lot not to mention brain failure with old age and too good of living when I was young. I will pull the BV and reset as per earlier post. My mother in law is staying with us and is a slot nut.

Kirk

[KirknDee]

Yes it moved up. There are two sets of ears and 1 gear. when the BV lever is down the ears that go into the cash can are up and so is the gear. When you put the lever down the gear meshes with the cash can and the back set of ears come down and go into the cash can space. The other set of ears raise up so the BV sits level. Any time you push the BV lever down the forward set of ears is going to raise the unit. There is about an 1 1/2" between the ear sets and no space in the bottom of the BV mounting area for the forward set of ears to go except push the unit up. When I install these I do it with power off, cash can lever up, BV lever down. After installing I push the BV lever down, install cash can and lower lever, then power machine up.

Happy Memorial Day. I know I am happy to be alive after being in 2 wars. Vietnam and the original invasion of Kuwaiti

Kirk  I repeat, if the rear of transport moves up when levef is pushed down the BV is not going to work. The ears will not line up with the slots if the lever is down. When the BV is installed correctly and ready to except bills the red lever will be in the up position.  posted this link once but here it is again.   http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=4226.msg8620#msg8620

[KirknDee]

Mine is not like the picture. Mine has two sets of ears of 2 ea. one set in back and another about where the green board is at. These ears move opposite each other. I strongly believe it is correct. I will check on of our other machines. The BV works when you put it in test mode.

[Buzz]

In reply #39 you said you have a DBV 200    I guess we will just have to do it your way.

[KirknDee]

What you are saying is correct. Mine was in ok I believe. When the red lever goes down the DB is fine till the very last part then the rotating base lifts of the DB lifts it up to remove it. I found a bad wire. Also when I put the cash can in the DB does not cycle but if I power it on it does and you can see the can move. I believe the optic for the cash can are not working. I know they have to line up properly. I will keep checking. Is there any way to check these?
Us Deep Sea people are always tuff to deal with, must be the salt air.

[KirknDee]

I believe you are correct. The DV does not show up on my tests now and we can see that it is not engaging the gear. We had no problem with the other machine we took out the PE DV and installed the Cat and Dogs DB and cash can. Then we put everything back where it was before. The Cat and Dog machine worked both times the PE machine did not cycle correctly. It does not cycle when cash can is install and when we restart it cycles and then makes a click click sound. hen the cash can is removed and unit started the DV cycles as it should put the can in and it back to click, click, click.

The game still is not taking coins or dollars. It does work with the small white botton. The coins go into the hopper.

Kirk

[KirknDee]

After much help I am still in the same boat. My IGT multi-Poker machine will not accept coins or dollars. I can play one game using the whit button on the coin acceptor. The coins are going into the hopper. I believe it maybe the main board. Folks helped with this before and it still does not work. The dollar acceptor did work before the help' The game was playable until my wife removed dollars from the can. I have changed out the DBA and coin acceptor and they work in other machines. I need help.

[KirknDee]

When the rake block was removed coin go into hopper.

[knagl]

When the rake block was removed coin go into hopper.

I have merged your new thread in to your existing thread about your machine -- there's no need to create a new thread when an existing thread you already created contains information about your problem which may be helpful to those responding.

When the rake was blocked and coins went in to the hopper, did you receive credit for those coins?  If not, were there any error messages on the screen either before or after you dropped those coins in?

[jay]

There are at least one set of optics with the cash can.
Make sure the can is in otherwise it won't block the optics and the DBV won't operate.

Sometimes there is a second set of optics and occasionally a button.
Make sure the door to the cash can is closed. Use a small piece of electrical tape.
