Reel Touch Game Kit

[rwalker192]

I'm looking for a complete game kit for an IGT Reel touch. I'll consider any game you might have. I have a Tabasco in it now but the reel strips are trashed and cannot find any replacements.
Let me know what you have and price with shipping to 34746

Thanks
Bob

There were several on eBay yesterday.

I saw two of them but was hoping for something a little cheaper!

Be careful when you buy that you get everything you need like software that matches your bios, hard drive if needed, correct SG chips for the game and the right size reel strips. They came in both 2" and 2 1/4" for most themes and the reel glass won't be right if you get the wrong ones and/or you'll need reels to match strips possibly

Thanks
Maybe changing games isn't the way to go. Thanks Cowboy that's all great info that I didn't know!

Yeah, they used 2 different size strips, 2 different bios versions and the SB/SG chips were different for each theme and each bios version. Some hard drives have software for more than one game on them but some only had software for one game. There's some very knowledgeable members on here, lindlam is one, who can give you more detail than I can. A complete kit with everything you need, especially one like Denver Duck, would likely be a bit pricey. On the other hand, in my opinion, there isn't a game out there with a better interactive bonus round than Denver Duck. Williams Time Machine maybe, but try and find one...

The Tabasco is also a fun game to play and I really hated to change it. I think the way to go might be to live with it the way it is and keep looking for reel strips. I don't want to put a lot of money into the machine.
Thanks for all the info.

Probably a smart  move on that platform.  I will tell you Mint kit's don't come up often for that problamatic platform. When they do they cost some dough and are worth it.  The big thing is you and others have to be behind these to back them up when the break with parts etc.  That's the problem with these -why they were short lived. I sold 20 of these over the last 4 years just to rid myself of the headaches at a reduced price.  IGT could not wait to cleanse their hands of these and some other problem childs on the floor at the time. Fun WHEN they work.  All Mine worked when they left.  Some are in 10buk2 now-still working. some have failed.  Nature of the beast.  I would just keep it and transform into a barcrest or "whatever" and sell the parts from removal.  Denver Duck is a over glamorized video game that never stops.

Be advised that the top glass on reel touch kits do not ship well. I have tried to purchase 3 reel touch top glass pieces and two of them came powdered. Of the two broken ones one was packaged very well and it still broke the other was a she-bay purchase with very poor packing. Hard to get complete reel touch kits.
It's heart breaking to see what were good rare reel touch glass pieces ruined in shipping.

They just did not pack properly.  I have shipped at least over 1,000 sheets of large glass and at least over 4,000 small.  Over all that there has been ONLY 1 claim-and it was not my fault but I ate it.  I have not done flea bay for years as it is a joke-mostly a Buyer's market now.

People tend to poo pah these games as unreliable and maybe they are, but I bought a couple a few years back, a Duck and a Bucks, and other than having to repair the top box CPU on the Bucks, which I bought knowing I would need to do this, they have been excellent running machines since then. My only gripe is that they take about 10 minutes to start when turned on, old operating system I guess. The Bucks takes forever because it's hard drive is loaded with 4 different games. The damn denom touch panels have gone bad once each, but that's inherent to the panel, not the machine

My bull shit detector just went off.......and I guess that dead touch screen glass you sold me with the chip in it wasn't your fault either and I ended up eating that one.
