    Default Problem with Moderns

    I pick up these three moderns and the shooter will not do anything, the code on the back is 7 but I have no idea what that is. Can they be fix or did I just get dumpster bait?IMAG2467[1].jpgIMAG2468[1].jpgIMAG2469[1].jpgIMAG2470[1].jpgIMAG2472[1].jpgIMAG2474[1].jpgIMAG2475[1].jpg

    Hi. Do they all have dongles plugged into what looks like a printer port on the back of the machine. Usually lower right side when facing the rear of the machine?

    Yep. Make sure you have dongles. Or make some up if handy with a soldering iron

    If you can show me where it goes and pin out I am sure I can make it up.

    Thanks

    It looks like you are missing your dongles. DaveRob's page has instructions on how to make a simple dongle. Alternately, you can just solder the components directly to the back of the machine instead of a dongle. The instructions are about halfway down the page.

    I think Peteybob made some for some one a while ago. Or had some spare, might be worth a PM.of course I could be wrong. But never hurts to ask.

    I had all the parts I need to make one to test with sometimes it is good to be a pack rat, it's not pretty but it works.

    Thanks for your help

    error code 7, is ball hopper on top empty, also you need feet or cabinets to hold machines up, fastest is feet, from hardware store, 2 x 12 (3/4 to inch thick) 2 per machine, than add felt pads so screws don't damage whatever you put them on. and dongles to make shooter work
