Elvis has entered the Building!

[Stinger357]

Well I finally got the thing I been wanting. I sniped at the last minute last night (ask Lucky he was supporting me) an Elvis IGT. Found it on e-bay for 360, plus 125 shipping, so for 485 I am now a proud owner of an original authentic Elvis IGT Slot Pachislo. I stayed up till 3:36 am to get this baby. It comes with 250 tokens, keys and a manual. I hope it is in good shape. Here is the ebay auction link:

Now I need to find a stand for it

I will post video's once I get it if noone else has.

Another update, the machine is in route via fed ex. I did get a 25 dollar refund on the shipping since it wasn't as much as he listed it would be! YAY

Also I have 500 gold tokens ready to go for it. Got them off ebay for 17 bucks!

More to come...

Here are a few pics from the seller of the machine pre-shipping.

Congratulations to you... it truly is one of the rarer machines out there!

I got the Elvis in today. It is still packaged in the box. The box is in good shape so I am hopefull of the machine also. I will be videoing the opening of the box and all the goodness inside so you all may see as I open it. Then once I get my DVI cable I should be able to upload it to youtube and show you all. But Elvis has arrived!

thank you, thank you very much

Well got some bad news! The stop buttons don't seem to work on the machine. The lights on the stop decals are lit, but the buttons don't seem to return and input. The cash out button also doesnt seem to work. I am attaching some pics of the inside to see if any IGT experts can help me figure out how to fix it. I have reset ALL the connectors I can see in the machine, I performed a hard reset. Nothing. The reels will stop in about 30 seconds on their own but as SID said that will wear down the motors. So If anyone can suggest anything please feel free to. I noticed on the b oard in the back of the machine just above the reels there is a small place for a fuse and no fuse seems to be in there. Coudl that possibly be the culprit?

here's the inside of my IGT dance night

that sould be your reel stop board, mine has a fuse in it

[Stinger357]

Well after troubleshooting the issue with fellow pachitalkers it seems there is a fuse slot on the back board behind the reels. And I found a fuse a 250V but it seems to work...I had to secure it in there pretty good, but the stop buttons seem to work now. I am so glad it wasnt a board issue. My question is this will a 250V amp make a problem along down the line? It's all I could find..and getting the fuse in there was a task in itself. Since I stripped the reel screws and can't take the reel off now. It was intermittently working and then not, until I secured the fuse a little better.

It also seems like the flouresant bulb on the bottom belly glass is out. Which kind of bulb would I need to replace it? Could I get that at home depot? Other then that the payout button doesnt seem to work. But it does kick out coins over 50 credits so the hopper is working, just not the payout button.

[compirate]

Yes, you should be able to get that bulb at da Depot. Take it out and with you when you go.

[luckydog]

htere are some plactic tabs on the inside on the door behind the bellyglass, just move these tabs to remove bellyglass cover from the outside.

[birdbrain]

and get those reels out to find the old fuse you don't want it jamming up the reels and burning a motor out

[compirate]

give us a clear pic of the name in Japanese (on the belly glass)
