007 X James Bond Takasago

[krikit]

Does anyone know where I can get a main circuit board for this machine? Everything else works - - it just needs the board. Or any other suggestions?

try milt at www.stealthhomeamusement.com they seem to auction off a lot of these models.

Thank you, I will try them.

how could anything work with a bad main board?

[krikit]

We received it with the wrong board in it. I mean the lights, sounds, etc... all worked, it just wasn't the correct board, so it would pay when it shouldn't and not pay when it should. We waited for 6 months to get a new board but they couldn't come up with one, so they sent us another machine - a Neo Planet. They told us to do whatever we wanted with the (board-less) 007, so I was trying to see if I could find a board for it and have two machines.

who did you buy the machine from? Might you be interested in selling that 007

[krikit]

I'd rather try and find a board for it and keep it, but I seem to be coming up dry. If I can't find one then I have no other use for it and would consider selling it. We bought it at an auction in Dallas, but it originally came from Direct Gaming out of California. They were good to honor their warranty and send us a new machine, but they couldn't get us another 007.

I know that you said all the lights and sounds are working. Queston is, are they sounds that you would find in a 007 machine? Or do they belong to somethng else. If the sounds belong to a James Bond machine then next question is, Have you, or anyone in your family, ever taken the reelstrips off of their frames? If not then I bet someone else has and then put them on in the wrong spot. They just need to be redone so the strips are starting in the right spots.
If they belong to another machine, just find that machine and make new reel strips to match that machine's order but with the 007 graphics.

Just a thought

I think a more likely problem would be that someone had taken out the reels (say for cleaning) and put them back in the wrong order.

You can check this very quickly. Just look at the reel layout at pachinkomuseum.com and compare it to your machine. It it really is just the order of the reels, take them out and replace them in the right order.

Of course, this isn't likely, because any half-way competent vendor would have had you check this before he suggested something like needing a new CPU board.

Ahh didn't even think of the reels just being out of order, Good Thought

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes, the sounds were definitely James Bond sounds. I'm new to this, so all of your suggestions are good. My problem is - - - I sent the Circuit board to the Company so that they could take a look at it. It was there that they decided it wasn't the right board for the machine. When they couldn't come up with that specific board, then they decided to send me a new machine. So, my 007 has NO circuit board. They won't send it back, because they are sending me a new machine as replacement. That's okay, except my kids really liked the 007. That's why I'm looking for a circuit board for it. I will check the reels as you all suggested and see if they are off. Thanks!

I have one of these machines and reel 2 and 3 where reversed. It was confusing at first as the Jac symbols are in the same position on those 2 reels so they always lined up for a replay. But most everything else would payout with the strangest combinations. Worked great after I swapped the reels.
