That is a much bigger project than you think.  Why would you want to do that?  You are stuck with a 3 reel machine that way.  The other way you can easily convert to a 3 reel plus bonus reel, a 4 reel or a 5 reel machine

The true 4 reel shares many common components as a 5 reel. As for the $500 there are a lot of components that get changed out to go from 3 to 5 reel, but once you do it it's worth it.

Oh yeah I agree 100%....this is a lot of work.  I have done it twice now out of necessity, but otherwise I would never recommend.  There are a ton of those 5-reeler's still in the casinos, and a fair amount of 4-reeler's as well.....my advice....be patient for a year or two longer and there will be a flood of them available before you know it.

I cannot imagine casinos in the U.S. hanging on to reel machine much longer.
IGT for example, is highly touting and hawking their new video systems at casinos.
Even video I-games are considered as old as the S+'s were
regarded after the S2000 platform hit the scene.

Out of nearly 2,000 machines at a nearby casino - there are no S+'s, about two dozen S2000's,
maybe two hundred 4 or 5 reel machines and all the rest are all some sort of machines from the video platforms.

I'm going to go check out their newest video additions this weekend...
