Triple Diamond Slot Machine - Squeaky Reel

5/12/2008 10:33:00 AM

Triple Diamond Slot MachineMAC asks if anyone can help regarding a Triple Diamond Slot Machine, and a squeaky reel...

I have an IGA Triple Diamond slot machine manufactured in 4/1994. The model # is B5136CFIW.

First question: What type or series machine is this? S, S+, or something else?

I was searching for a maintenance manual & can't find much regarding this machine.

The ultimate problem is with one of the three reel motors - the 3rd one (furthest right)squeels when it runs - far more often than not. I was thinking it needed lubrication, but am unsure of what type of lube to use, where it might need to be applied, or determine if the motor is going bad. About 1 in 15-20 runs, it doesn't make the squeel.

Any advise, insight, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, MAC

IGT Wild Diamonds - Squeaky Reel

5/07/2008 05:25:00 PM

MAC asks for help regarding an IGT Wild Diamonds slot machine. Can anyone provide insight?
I have an IGT Wild Diamonds machine, model # B51136CFIW manufactured in 4/94.

Of the three reel motors, the 3rd (on the right) makes quite a squeeling/grinding noise, most of the time. Maybe one in 20 times it sounds smooth like the others. I'd like to think that it's in need of lubrication, but the inconsistancy of the squeel leads me to believe that maybe the reel motor is slowly failing. Is there a way to lubricate, where & how would I do that & what product should I use?

Is there some manual that applies to my machine that I can get a hold of? I found one that applies to S & S+ series machines, but I'm hesitant to purchase the book if it won't apply to whatever series machine this is.

Any amount of help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MAC

Pat wants to know where he can get a manual for a Universal Co., Model 8515...
Hi,
I hope you can help me. I have a Universal Co. Model 8515 (is Universal the same as IGT?) that I am trying to find info, manuals, etc. for. I am particularly interested in manuals. It works now for the most part. There are some burned out bulbs, a door open code (50), bad switch? & the cash out will only work in test mode 4. Any info, parts or help? Just in case my e-mail is CARTENDERS@STARPOWER.NET
Thank you, Pat

Special Card Reader Cleaner for Slot Machines

1/25/2007 10:17:00 PM

A question from "Newcoman" wanting to know about tools that slot machine technicians would like to have...
Q: I'm developing a new card reader cleaning card, designed be a slot tech. This card will restore function to readers that other cards fail to fix. The problem is, you can't build much of a business around one product. I would like to create a business that provides the parts, materials, technology that the slot machine technician wishes he had to fix the most common problems. If you could buy the thing or things that that would most help you in your job, what would it/they be?
A: A card reader cleaner is (in my opinion) a waste of time. There are several products out now, and none work very well. This is not a problem that needs something new, the reader are not worth cleaning because it is cheaper to replace them. They don't need cleaned before they wear out. As for the question of any tool that you could produce, I can't think of anything that is not out there already.

Turning up the Speed on a Keno Machine

1/25/2007 10:15:00 PM

Here's a question from Rick...
Q: I have a 13 year old IGT keno machine and I was wondering if you could tell me if a person could slow or speed up the numbers that appear on the screen as they come up.
A: You can increase the speed by turning the reset key with the door open. It should bring up a menu. If you go to "set up" you should find a section called "speed". You just need to touch the up arrow until you get the speed you want.

How to Open the Cash Box

1/18/2007 11:57:00 AM

A question from Johanne Fulford...
Q: About a year ago I bought a 1993 Williams "Mermaids Gold" slot machine - and had it configured to take CDN bills and coins. I've been using it as my piggy bank in-house ever since.

There's got to be a ton of money in it at this point, because it just stopped taking in bills. The problem is that have no idea how to get the paper money out of the machine! Ha!

The people who sold it to me are now unreachable (sad) - so I'm trying to find a gentler alternative to my ever-hand sledgehammer.

Any ideas how I might open this thing up & reclaim my cash? I have the keys for the coin hopper (front panel) as well as a key for the side door - but the bill collector thing looks like it's got two holes on it - and no amount of fiddling it around can get it to come out.
A: If you look at the top right side there should be a little lever if you push down the cash box you should be able to pull the cash box out.
