Hi, picked up a Double Lucky 7's machine last week. (dated 12/96)
Got her plugged in.. had a 3100 code.. cleared that. Then 12 came up, replaced battery, code cleared. (yes the polarity is correct) Started machine back up, 61 code, reset to 61-1 shut the door turned the key and 61 code is back. From what I've been reading I'm in the "dreaded 61 loop"
Is there anything I might be missing? Emitters are hooked up and seemed to be aligned just fine. There are no wires to the cash box. I also pulled the chip for several seconds and it just did the same cycle of 61 to 61-1 back to 61.
From what I've gathered I'm at the last resort for doing a clear.
Thanks in advance! I'm new here and looking forward to playing.
Shane
