MARS MEI SC Interface Card for WMS Bluebird

[Ash100]

Looking for 3 or 4 Interface Cards like the one pictured below. Dual Microswitch, goes in BB1 Tranny game if that makes any difference.


Bought one on FeeBay, didn't have the extra card attached, didn't work. So, I guess I need ones exactly like the ones shown.


Any additional info anyone wants to add, feel free. Never dealt with these things before, these are the only games I have with MEI Cashflow BV's.


Error shows Stacker Switch open, brand new Heads and Cash Can.


Thanks!

Two things on the card shown.  One is the easitrax card is not needed.  I usually remove these if they are attached  as the card will work without the easitrax.  Second, you are missing the metal lever on one of the mico switches on this board.  Both switches should have the little metal lever attached to them.

Thanks,


I'm aware of the micro-switch lever missing. That's one reason I need a few good cards. It's the only card I had available for photos.


As far as the Easitrax system, I have no idea what that even means or does. I figured it was something not needed though, but I didn't want to remove the cards in case the heads were flashed with something that required it or looked for it to operate properly.


I purchased 4 new heads, the other 4 were dead, and out of all the systems, only one had a working Interface Board. Plus I purchased 4 new Cash Cans. So hopefully a few cards will get everything working again.


I will tell you, I think this MEI System is the worst I've ever seen. Too many components to fail, and I spent hours swapping stuff in and out trying to make a good combination of parts.


So, back to the micro switches, do they detect the cash can? What portion of that system will give you the Stacker Switch Open error? Those 2? Or is it the optics that read through the cash can?


Thanks for the info.
