Quoted from Ranhorton:

Installed mine as well. Fit perfectly.
Makes my W?D look (and play) so much better!

Quoted from mbott1701:

Installed the center new ramp from PPS. Install went smoothly and the fit was just like factory.
I have my original ramp in the marketplace if anyone is interested.

Quoted from mitchzizzle:

Hi all - I moved my game and the speaker panel fell out as I was putting the head up, the panel hit the glass hard, no physical damage, but afterwards my DMD does not work. The dmd that dropped goes 'all lights on' with a few missing lines. I have replaced with different DMDs and neither of them turned on at all (no signs of life).
I have followed my dmd power plug and found this weird adapter attached? Does anybody else have this on their game?
Any ideas what is going on here?

Quoted from mitchzizzle:

Woops my bad!

Quoted from Uffe88:

Hi!
Im on my way to buy a W?D and I need your advice!
There's one in pretty good condition except for the inserts, see attached pictures. The offer on the table is 33000 sek, approx 3560 usd.
The other W?D is in very good condition, GI led, nice cabinet and playfield. The playfield is professional painted. He wants 40000 sek, approx 4300 usd.
Which one would you go for?
Kind Regards

Quoted from Uffe88:

Im living in Sweden, and from what I've seen the price of a W?D in an average condition is selling for 3000 - 3600 usd.
I don't want to be fooled, thats why Im asking alot abou the offer on the table

Quoted from sevenrites:

Sounds like it, yes. I had a wire come off a solder joint on the right of the 3 standup targets that go up and down. This was also tied to the opto. I didn’t realize it till I did what you described and they kept spinning. There is no fail safe written into the code when this happens. The game must be powered off to stop it. So I’d definitely suspect an issue with optos or them getting power.
You can disable the slots in the menu if you want to still play it while you wait for parts or figure it out. It will still award slots with the computer and DMD, but will not use the mech.

Quoted from scampcamp:

I took apart the slot machine reels... cleaned everything & put new connectors in & now only the center reel spins. In test mode when testing left reel the center spins. I'm wondering if I hooked up connectors wrong?
Would someone attach a picture on how they should go? Thank you very much

Quoted from Skatewake:

I will take a picture tonight and post it tomorrow

Quoted from scampcamp:

Your the best! People like you make this hobby more fun than it already is.
Now only the left reel spins. In test mode left spins & all 3 light up when selected but center & right don't spin.
Any ideas?

Quoted from sevenrites:

You mentioned doing new connectors, perhaps there’s something off with the pinning or connection on one of those.
I’ll take a look over your setup if you want to post some pics.
Question - have you done a switch test to see if anything else isn’t registering? That’s the easiest way to find a broken solder joint on a wire and know where it is and if it’s in the same run as the opto that’s not working.
If it’s not a loose or disconnected wire causing an opto to lose power then maybe you can try cleaning the optos with a cotton swap and add a dab of alcohol if they’re really dirty then dry swab them off.

What issues are you experiencing? I’m curious. Mine has been good for awhile but I did have the issue with them spinning and not stopping, making me reboot and I also had to rebuild a motor once, and replace one that couldn’t be rebuilt.

Quoted from sevenrites:

It sounds like you and scampcamp have the same exact issue. When one or more optos aren't reading correctly, it will spin the slots indefinitely, and not kick the ball out during ball search. The only option is to turn the slots off until it's corrected otherwise the game will hang.
Mine did the exact same thing one time, but the optos and boards were fine - I found the problem was the right target that raises and lowers in that 3 target bank, which had a wire break off the solder. That wire was tied to the same run on the switch matrix as one of my slot optos. My problem with the spinning slot reels had nothing to do with an issue on the optos or those boards - it was a broken solder joint connecting a wire to a target further up the switch matrix.
The real kicker is I was all over the slot mech, tore it apart, cleaned it, checked all connectors and etc. thinking it was something in there. Then I left it alone for a few months. Wasn't motivated... Till it dawned on me that maybe it was something else in the switch matrix. It literally took me 5 minutes to find and fix when I went at it that way. Maybe your situation and scampcamp's are similar and just as easy.

Quoted from sevenrites:

You can also run a switch test to see if any other switches are failed, they should appear and you’ll save a ton of time looking over random switches when one might not be broken.
This is an important step to take that can also save extra aggravation since if it is switch matrix related you might not even need to mess with the slot reels or optos at all.

Quoted from sevenrites:

Yep.

Quoted from sevenrites:Yep.

Quoted from Skatewake:

I did the test of the switches and couldn’t come up with anything. I did notice that switch 48 is supposed to be normally closed but its open per the matrix in the manual and I can’t find the location on the switch chart picture that shows locations.
So, this is what it does when I put a ball into an active slot light scoop.

Quoted from sevenrites:

Switch 48 is Slot Index Right (opto). That’s the one causing the reels to keep spinning. What’s causing the opto issue is yet to be discovered.
If you look at the switch matrix chart I’m attaching, look at the row Switch 48 is in. You’ll see the right 3 bank target, right loop, and left loop are all wired in the same series. So if a wire came off one of those switches then it could cause the right opto to not work.
I think the reason it can be the right 3 bank target is because that mechanism raises and lowers which puts strain on the solder where the wire connects. This is exactly why mine wouldn’t work so I would definitely look there.
It could still be a bad or dirty opto also.

Quoted from DeejayDara:

Just joined the club and got my machine a couple of days ago. I bought a new elevator / Tony's Palace ramp and had my guy install it before I took it home. Any adjustments I should be making from the jump?

Quoted from scampcamp:

I apologize... I didn't say "thank you" I appreciate the picture. The wires are correct.
Grumpy thinks the manual has some errors. We're starting to see I was chasing the wrong issue. It may be a bad TIP102, TIP107 or
2n5401. I'm also going to check for a cold solder connections for the ribbon cable.

Quoted from scampcamp:

I can't remember who's making it but has anyone heard how the bigger outside ramp is coming along?

Quoted from Atari_The_Jedi:

Agreed . I just mean it's an extra cost but yeah just a hundred bucks or whatever. I think I'll bring my DMD off another game so I can power the machine on and we can see what's going on.
