Glass Kit Replacement
 

1. Turn Power Off
2. Replace the top piece of glass by opening the machines main door and carefully lifting the old glass holder up and out of the cabinet frame. Install the new upper glass.
3. The reel glass is the most difficult piece of the glass to change out. There are two ways to change it out.
   1. Remove the florescent lamp bulb and fixture. Once the fixture is removed you should be able to grab the old reel glass on both sides and carefully move it back and forth until it is out of the lower holder. Replace it with the new piece of glass. (Be sure that all of your stickers are attached to the new glass before installing the light and fixture.
   2. Remove the two connectors to the display read out. Remove the three nuts that are holding the display to the main door. If the display does not easily lift up, carefully move it back and forth while lifting up. Make sure not to force it out, you may crack or split the display readout. Once removed, make sure you hold the reel glass so it does not fall out.
4. The belly glass is replaced by opening the lower door. Remove the small nuts from the light/glass holder. Disconnect the power supply at the wire disconnect. Carefully remove the old glass out of the machine. Install the new glass so that it is right side up when the door is in the closed position.  Reinstall the light/glass holder, remembering to re-connect the power supply and tighten the screws that hold it in place.

Reel Strip Replacement

5. Most, but not all reel strips will be numbered either at the very bottom or on the back and at the top side of the reel strip.
6. Remove old strips without damaging them and record the reel strip number in which reel that you removed it from.
7. Look at your new reel strip numbers and if all reel strips have the same number, it will not matter which reel basket they are installed on.
8. When the reel strips have ascending numbers, the lowest number strip will be installed in the left reel (#1), the next higher number strip will go to the middle reel (#2) and the last one installed in right reel (#3).

NOTE: There are some exceptions to this rule with certain game kits. If your kit does not follow these rules, I will send additional information on the correct reel strip positioning.

9. Your reel strips have small notches cut in them at the bottom. There is also a notch on each reel basket outer edge. The notches on both the reel strips and the reel baskets must be installed so that their notches are aligned with each other.
10. Place the reel strip around the back side of the reel basket. Once you have found the notches on the reel basket, align them with the reel strips. Tuck about 4 inches of the right side of the reel strip into the groove, then allow the left side to slide into the groove. While moving the reel basket towards you, continue to allow the right then left side to slide into the groove until you have allowed the reel strip to overlap.
11. Follow the same procedure for the remaining two reel strips.
12. If the reel strips do not stick together, I have found that two-sided poster tape works well.

Chip Replacement

Even if one leg is not seated into the holding socket, the game will not operate.
