Credit-Add Only

[autoslot]

I've read several posts on requests for a credit-add mod WITHOUT the Auto Stop feature, (and lower cost options.) I'm considering a new offering of a credit add only chip, and wanted to see how much interest there really was, before I develop and program another chip.

Pricing would be $5 for chip and socket, $6 with wires and connectors. This would work on all machines that use the AS-02C cable (See credit table www.autoslot.info/credit) and would connect similarly to the DIY kit (www.autoslot.info/DIY).

I would probably also offer a couple of other DIY kits that solder to the stop board for those machines than use the AS-03 & AS-03-NO cables. These could be used with either the credit-add only or standard auto stop chips. My target pricing for these is $15 (without chip).

PachiTalk members, please let me know your thoughts.

I would be interested in a credit add only mod and would buy it for $6.

[fhagar]

Sounds good to me, too.

[Firewire]

I definitely see a market for that.

[Zeron Stargate]

Great idea.....I'm in.

Schematic's of the pin out included would be nice also.

Me too, I would be interested in the credit only deal

Vince... I guess I am not sure what the DIY kits would be that would cost $15 without chip. What do you get for $15....

Just to let everyone know I purchased one of Vince's mods for my SuperBlackJack and it works great. I disabled the autostop feature and just use the credit-add.

The $15 DIY Kit would be for those machines with over 5 volts on the coin sensors. On these machines, the chip needs additional circuitry to interface to the higher voltages. The kit would include the printed circuit board, voltage regulator, 2 relays, wires, heat shrink insulation, T-Taps and connectors. You would have to do the soldering yourself.

im intrested don-don king is a higher voltage machine and the solderings no problem here....only problem is shes a 3 sensor coin mech also will it be supported????

[autoslot]

Jeff,

I'll have to add another DIY to handle that one. It would use a different circuit board and components, but can be done!

Since I never use the auto stop part of it then getting me a cheaper chip with only the credit mod is good.

[alstonj1]

would really be intrested for a reasonable price .......

I'd be tickled with one of these for each of my machines.

OK, It looks like their is definitely some interest. I've updated my web site with the Credit-Add chip. I'm working on the other models, should be updated soon.

Wow. Spiffy.

Now you should provide pinouts of the autostop board so we can make one of those handy plug in jobbies instead of soldering to our boards. lol

Thanks for the offering. Once I do some voltage measurements on my machines I'll be placing an order....

I need help updating the credit-add table on my website: www.autoslot.info/credit

There are still several brands of machines I need information for, and for some reason, my wife thinks that nine machines are enough for me!

So here is my proposition: I will send a free DIY-CA-01 kit to the first person to give me the needed coin sensor information for each brand of machine I do not have listed. Specifically, I need to know the number of coin sensors, the voltage on the coin sensor wires, whether these are high or low with no coin present, the color and position of the wire on the connector and a picture of the coin mechanism.

(Follow this link if you need help on how to determine this information: www.autoslot.info/unlisted.htm

Please post the information to this thread so others will know what brand of machines have been accounted for. (You can e-mail me the picture. There is an e-mail link on my credit-table page.) Please only send information you know to be accurate!

Here is some info on two brands:

Expanded info on Bellco (Regal)
2 coin sensors
5V
normally high
brn (pos 2)
yel (pos 3)

Luster (Kiwame)
2 sensors
5V
normally low
grn (pos 2)
grn (pos 3)

Vince... Just tell the wife you need to have one of each.. Its just part of doing business. You could probably even use it as a tax wright off..

BABEL - Token Sensor

When I had mine apart and took some pics.
They are Hi Res and can be found at

www.gvtc.com/~stargate
The coin sensor on this machine is a :
KR1142-AZ Optical Reflex Sensor
Mfg. By Shinkoh Elecs ( thier web site is 404 )


With a meter I figured out the wiring :
Black = -5v DC Ground
White = +5v DC sensor 1 when covered voltage drops
Green = +5v DC sensor 2 when covered voltage drops
Pink = ???????


Hope some of this may help
