Nice game room jay and Kirk I need one of those in a bad way.  I have at times been using a "atv" lift when I could not get help.  And yes,  My wife hates me when I ask for help.  Years ago we actually dropped one and it smashed to smitherens!!!! bawling Wish I had some viedo of that.  I was actually pinned under the side of it.  It was a Yahtzee which weighs a friggin ton.  Yes I had 3 total until that happened!!.  I will be getting one of those anyway thanks for the post.-B.

Looks like you are correct. I got mine last weekend. Suspect they will go on "sale" again.
Here is the link for others. www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94822


You can sign up for special deals/ads on their site. (they have a lot of them).

What is the topper on the Diner ? Does it tie in to the Diner machine ? I have enclosed a few pictures of a modification to my lift that allows me to use it to move pin games.

The topper on the diner is the 1x2 Mikon display for my slots.
Just a convienent place to put it.

I agree I need one of those lifts too. I had to get 2 buddies to help lift the slots onto the stands.
I am sure I went through at least $129 in beer because of it....as far as a wife saver goes I agree
Having my drunken friends hang around doesn't make her any happier than if I had asked her to do the dead lift herself.

Another source for a lift is auto parts stores. Here's a link. $119.00 and they did discount 10% when I asked them.

Holiday greetings to all!
Tell me, are you sick and tired of lifting machines?
Is the wife getting upset helping you put them on stands?
Your not feeling 25 years old anymore?
Then *YOU* need this (I love mine)
Purchased at Harbor Freight (www.harborfreight.com) for the paultry amount of $129 this pup will save your back,save your marraige, might even save a few fingers!
No more waiting for your brother-in-law to drop by or ambushing the neighbor to put your latest "find" up on a stand.

This is a public service message, i do not work for Harbor Freight, or even get a kickback!

Kirk

I agree it is the best!  I've had mine for about a year now.

Just thought I would share some photos of my game room.  I had to move it around, we are expecting a baby on May 5 so the office is now the nursery and the office is in the game room.

Because Pachislos don't support progressives!  bust gut laughing bust gut laughing  (Sorry, I just couldn't resist. I've never seen a Pachislo under a linked progressive sign before. arrow)
I agree that it's a beautiful sign - have you ever tried to hook it up to one of your American slot machines?

Even if you don't have it connected to a slot you can still generate a scrolling message.

I actually had my CON1 connected up to my Pachislo. When you played it added credits to the progressive.
I had a LEDs that lit up when I added a coin and it went DING. It was a momentary blip so I hooked up a relay to it and it worked just fine.
Of course you couldn't win the progressive but it was nice to add them. I have since liquidated the pachislos.

I had thought about a way to win the progressive, but the Pachis just hit too often. It would be a simple matter of tapping a relay off of one of the lights that came on when the jackpot was won and then latching it. You would have to wait until the Pachi finished its cycle before your progressive would behave normally. This relay would go in parallel with the one that was adding credits.

I have never tried to get the sign hooked up to anything or add a scrolling message.  I have been looking around the site and it looks like it would be pretty easy to do.  I think that will be my project for next week.    I work from home, so most of my day is spent on the computer but everyday I take time to play the machines a little and a couple games of pinball. My wife thinks I don't work because every time she comes home she hears the machines. yes

Do you have a controller separate from the board that is driving the sign ??

I don't have anything outside of the sign.  Their is several control boxes that are inside the sign.   One of them has the db9 plug on it. I was going to try to hook up to that and see what that will do. Do I need a special controller?

What you appear to have (some photos of the inside would enable us to confirm) is a Cham1 1x2.
I have the same square display box but not the cool 5cProgressive banner.

The board that is ribbon cable connected to the display panel will probably have the words CHAM4 or CHAM44 etched into it.
The reason that it is called a 1 x 2 is that it is 1 row tall and 2 boards wide. The 2 boards would be ribbon cable connected together.
The Cham44 is often called a LED4 - which stands for Link Extension Device.

The DB9 on the Cham44 board doesn't do anything and won't respond to a PC.

The board will have 2 sets of PINs. One set is connected to the Power supply below the board and the other 2 pins at the end of the board would be connected to another box called a CON1 progressive controller.

The con1 could be inside the sign - mine resides in the top box of the slot. Con1's come in different sizes - there is the standalone model which is designed for 1 slot, a 4, 8, 16 and 32 port model.
This device also has a DB9 which will connect up to a PC - you do however need a piece of software called PSP to program it.

The reason the display controller is called a LED4 is that the CON1 is designed to LINK several slots together into a single progressive.

Let us know what you got and I am sure we can get you fixed up with enough stuff to get this working.
