It looks like you did a great job with the hopper optics!  applause
The quarters should get picked up from the bottom of the bowl,
ride up onto face of the wheel towards the outside getting caught with the wheel nipples.
By the time they're at between 2 an 4 o,clock, they're sitting on top of the quarter shelf.
Then they continue on the edge under the kicker onto the top of the knife at 12 o,clock.
The coins then ride up onto the knife and pass between the hopper optics.
Each coin passing through the optics gets a signal sent back to the MPU -
to count as a credit being paid out.
Then they continue along over the top of the knife and down the ramp out
towards the door and fall into the coin tray.

You can see this happening very slowly if you place a few coins in the grooves on the
wheel at about 1 and 3 o'clock, releasing the brake with your left hand and
rotating the wheel counter clockwise with you right hand.
I want you to see the quarter actually riding up onto the knife and passing between the optics.
That is the correct way to check an S+ hopper.
If the coins fall off before they go over the top of the knife,
then the knife needs to be adjusted, cleaned , and/or replaced!

By the way, the optics are inside the two black plastic piece where there quarters ride in between.
When you saw the machine at the vendors, did the hopper work there?
Did quarters come out of it?
If there's no power going to the motor, then I'd like you to check the 3 fuses on the front of the power supply box.
I believe they're 6 Amp 250V, 8Amp 250V, and 6 Amp 250V  >>> from top to bottom.

In another closely related thread here on NLG, I took a photograph of what the fuse should look like.

 

Ok, all fuses look good!  Motion on the hopper and knife look good.  What do I tackle next?

Power to the hopper.

This is one way to test your hopper to see if the
motor and it's components are operational.
This one has the lift gate still installed.
Yours has just the plain hopper optics attached to the top of the hopper.>>>

Well, I did everythiing.....After removing the hopper about 20 times, cleaning, testing, & repeat.  On the 21st time I decided to check out the wiring harness where the hopper "plugs" in.  All in all it appears to be a poorly crimped wire!  There were issues sure, but I think the wire was the problem.  That my story and I'm sticking to it!  Smiley

The 2 bottom ones are for 115Volts.
Those are the ones I used with a power cord to send
power to the hopper in the video above.

That's where I started, I hooked up my meter to test if there was power.  I had to push pretty hard to get the probes in and the bottom right probe slipped and I knocked off the wire.  Got her back on and she worked.  I still think there were other issue or I wouldn't have got the error codes.  I'm still having a little problem with the bill acceptor continually running, but other then that....
