    when i first got my machine this was the help i first recieved ( i was geting error 83)

    An 83 tilt code is a memory error that requires the ram to be cleared. Depending on the MAINS installed on your MPU board, there are 3 ways to clear RAM.
    FIRST METHOD: Turn off power. Unplug the I/O board (top circuit board, do not unplug ribbon cables on front of I/O board), power up the game and wait for the LED display to show a "CH/CL". This indicates ram has been cleared. Turn off the game, plug I/O board back in and power up the game. If this process did not work, you will need to continue to the next step.
    SECOND METHOD: Turn off power. Move the JUMPER on MPU board from J15 to J14 (see pictures attached for details) and power up the game. Wait a few seconds and observe the LED display. When you see the "CH/CL" then ram has been cleared. If this does not work, the
    THIRD METHOD is to use a set of "Ram Clear Chips" or by replacing the current eproms located in sockets U12 and U15 with a set that does not require the use of the "Clear Chips". The U12 and U15 sockets are located under the piggyback board. Please see the attached picture to see location of chips.


    when that did not work i bought the clear chips... my problem ended up being some one had bent and broken the prongs of the chips in my Board.. so i had to get new chips..





    hear are some instructions on how to use the clear chips


    Clear Safe RAM Nevada

    To clear Safe RAM. fol low these steps.

    -CAUTION DISCHARGE ANY STATIC CHARGE IN YOUR BODY TO AVOID ANY INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS.

    1. Remove power from the MPU board.

    2. Remove the program EPROMs U12 and U15 with an IC Insertion lextractlon tool. Lift the chip slowly to avoid bending or breaking the pins.

    3. Place the Safe RAM Clear chips In their corresponding locations. Locate pin 1 which Is to the left of the endmarklng on the chip. Locate pin 1 on the board. Carefully line up al I pins before pressing the chip Into place.

    4. Power up the board. The
    following messages appear In sequence.
    TEST 8K WORDS CLEARING SAFERAM SAFERAM CLEAR
    The fol lowing messages appear and remain Indicating a problem on the MPU board.
    If "!SAFERAM NOT CLEAR" appears. press the "RESET" button to test 1 more time.
    If any of the fol lowing messages appear. the program cycles back to "! TEST 8K WORDS" and tests again. If the problem remains the cycle continues and the "BAD" message keeps appearing.
    BAD SAFERAM ENABLE
    BAD SAFERAM WRITE
    BAD SAFERAM READ


    Clear Safe
    RAM (cont'd)

    NOTES
    1. Remove power from the board.
    2. Replace U12 and U15 (main program chips) with original or new program chips.
    3. Power up the board.
    There are 2 sets of Safe RAM Clear chips. One set clears al I game records, options, and meter Information. The options default and need to be reset. One set clears al I, expect the keypad opt Ions.

    New Jersey

    To clear Safe RAM, follow these steps.

    the manual says code 24 is

    "coin in reverse"

    24 says "Stringing of a coin. Coin bounced up-tighten the rail adjustment"

    hope that helps

    windex works wonders on the door and reels --- don't spray it on the slot, spray on soft towel or tissues, then wipe on parts

    Welcome to Pachitalk
    Sorry I have been at work, just got home. Thanks for the reply but that IS who has my current parts and told me that I need a comparator. He is great and helped me tremendously in the past so I am sad he doesn't have any comparitors. So now I am here hoping someone has an extra one. Thanks again for replying T

    I just bought a machine and it has the Safe RAM error, I could not locate the J15 to J14 jumper (we'll I can't find J15). Anyway I bought a keypad so hopefully that will work. Thanks for the post, can't believe information exists on these old machines!
