I'll bet you Carioquenho's English is better than Capt. Neversails Spanish  !! 

A couple of months ago the Skipper, Skippers Mom, Statfreak and I were in a Mexican restaurant, I ask Mark to order some more Salsa, he rattled off some Spanish to the waiter and instead of Salsa I got the check.

Who's to say he didn't tell the waiter to give you the check?

latest weather forecast in Mexico is today will be chilly and tomorrow will be hot................that's an old one I think. Finding it hard to get back in the fold with you guys, but if I keep posting 1000 posts a day I am sure I can regain top spot.



I doubt, but good news is I have a lot of new machine platforms under my belt such as AVP etc etc from Igt ......Belatra, Bingo machines, Win, EGT etc etc etc. so who knows I might become the KNOWLEDGEABLE  ONE once again,



cheers

Hello All,

My name is David and I am the proud owner of my first Slot machine. It's a 1996 IGT Double Diamond 25cent 3 coin, with Progressive on the top of the 3rd slot. Prog# DD3634 / SP731
I have this for a few days and know nothing about it. I found out how to get the chip numbers from post on this forum, but that's as far as I got. Is there an easy way to do a complete reset of the machine including counters? I would like to start from the beginning. All keys are in hand, even the reset key, just not sure what to do with them.

Thank You for any and all help!

[stayouttadabunker]

 

However, please remember this: "Don't fix it if it ain't broke"

You want to learn? Great! We are here to help you....

SP731 huh?...hmm...
Needs a SET015 chip to re-enable the bill acceptor after you've wiped out
the internal machine accounting records with an IVCxxx Clear chip.
Not to mention about the next 60 posts about how to get rid of
the [63-1] and [61] error codes that will be popping up among all the other
things like you trying to learn how to set up all the programming on your machine
AND go through all the reading about learning how to
program a Mikohn progressive stand-alone system....

The mechanical counters cannot be reset to zero.
At least, not easily unless you're a watchmaker.
I did it but I'm not a watchmaker and it took me about an hour to do one.
Wasted an hour of my life....    
I should have just went and bought new ones.

(Now you have me thinking about doing a mod where I could
use re-settable electronic digital counters. Hmmm... )

By the way, Welcome to NLG!!!!
You still feel like wiping out the internal machine accounting records? 
Why not leave them on so you will have the real McCoy on record?
Those numbers are THE history of your machine!
Keep reading posts and threads until you're more familiar with those keys dangling from your fingers?

For now, I highly recommend putting those keys in a drawer until you're ready to use them.
At the moment - you're like a kid with tricycle training wheels who has the keys to an F1 fighter jet -
destined to crash and burn...

Believe me - I'm trying to help you!
You do not want to spend the next 3 weeks programming options
and settings and straightening bent eprom pins just yet!
The first thing you should do is just have fun playing with it!

[CrazyD]

Stayout,

You sure have a way with words. Thank you so much for saving me all that work. I would have not been happy if I had messed it up. 

The person I bought it from told me it wins way to much and I should reset it for better house odds. I guess he was wrong.

I was trying to find a way to track it. Keep in mind it's all new to me. I will go read that post from you link.

Thanks for the welcome too! I need to go find that Karma button.

By the way, would this blue dial be for the sound? I do not dare turn it.

[stayouttadabunker]

Great pic! You're right! That IS the volume potentiometer knob...
which also signifies that you have an 10Mhz MPU onboard!
According to your picture, turning it counter-clockwise will lower the volume.
You only need to turn it a little bit clock-wise to get it louder...

It's a very cheap electronic mechanical component that is very picky and has  very little gap between
low volume sounds versus ear-splitting
you-will-get-thrown-out-by-the-landlord-very-soon-aircraft-carrier noise!!!!!

Now please tell me you turned off the power when you removed the MPU board!!!

Welcome CrazyD to our money pit hobby. It's good to read up on your machine before
you have a lot of problems to fix. With that said here is some more information that may help
to understand.

Hey Ron, Thanks for the Zip and the welcome. I'll print that out I'm sure it will be a good read.

Welcome to nlg CrazyD   You're not crazy yet! Wait until six or twelve months have passed and you have more than a dozen machines filling every free nook and cranny of your home, only to find yourself looking for a huge overhead Mikohn Supreme progressive display setup to link all of your machines together.

It WILL happen (most of it, anyway. )  if you hang around here.

Hi there-
Just bought an IGT PE+ Slant at an auction for $58.  Usually at this place getting a good deal like this means some work ahead troubleshooting some new (electronics I haven't fixed yet and am a newbie in the area of) device and the PE+ has been no disappointment.  Actually, it's in pretty good shape save a couple little electronic challenges.
I searched for information on this fine beast and time and time again found my way to this forum where it is apparent that people not only know their games but are very helpful in offering advice to help teach others their games. I've been reading the posts, the almost the same manuals and similar issues and it is amazing how nice people are to each other
The week before I found this PE+ Double Bonus Poker I was doing work for an old customer of mine who shared with me his intense fondness (aka online addiction) of Double Bonus Poker and finding the coincidence too coincidental I picked up the machine to pass his wife's direction for XMas.  This guy will be so stoked.
So thanks for all the info and the great forum.  Glad to join.

Welcome to New Life Games kati! 
Take a look around on the forum topics...you will see quite a bit on your machine platform! 
read some of it and if you have any questions that haven't been answered before -
please feel free to start a new topic in the proper thread!
There are a few members here with slot and poker electronics experience that
would be more than happy to help you get your machine up and running like it should!

[katilicous]

Thanks stayouttadabunker.  I will do that and thanks again.  Where would I enquire of a PE+ Slant manual?  I have seen it referenced in a few places and have the wiring but think the troubleshooting guide might offer more info. I read that the submit a new file is MIA for a bit and to ask around, should I start a thread in the PE+ area you think?
Thanks.

[stayouttadabunker]

Absolutely!
Ask a question in the PE+ forum and I'm sure one of
our resident PE+ experts will help you out!  
Try to give as much details as you can to the problems you're having...
Remember..."The more you tell us - the more we'll tell you!" 

[katilicous]

Thanks, that rocks.  Not always easy to connect the answers and the questions... Much appreciated.
