Week of 6/15

Rowe Change Machine
I found it out of order with a hopper error.  I swapped in the spare hopper and the problem continued.  I then cleaned the original hopper and installed it and it worked fine after that.  I spent some time cleaning the other hoppers as obviously they are past due for cleaning.

Jackpot Crossing
I found it with a ticket jam.  I cleared the jam and it was working fine again.

Ticket Eater
The parts arrived quickly and I installed them.  I had to adjust the sensors a slight bit to get them to work but after setting the options the ticket eater worked great.  The location liked the new customized text on the bottom of the tickets.  The only complaint I had is that the software to manage the ticket eater was not included with the new board.  The manual does state that the software is extra so I need to find out how much the software is.  If it is reasonable I will pick it up as it does take some time to configure the ticket eaters and set up the bar code.  

Gravity Hill
I pulled this one out of storage and started to clean it up. None of the lights are working on it.  I found that the extension cord for one was bad but the rope light needs replaced.  Several of the clamps that hold the rope light are broken and they are riveted to the machine so I may just remove the rope light for now.  I spent a while pulling out the gumballs that were in it.  Apparently gumballs have a lifespan of shorter than six months or so.  It was a rather sticky mess but it cleaned up easy enough.  I've done a lot of testing on the game and it is working fine other than the lights and needing a good cleaning.

Board Inventory
I had some free time so I worked on inventorying the boards I have laying around.  I found several that I didn't realize that I had and I also realized that I enough of some titles that I can sell off a few and still have more than I will ever use.  Once I get done and get them into a spreadsheet or Database, I will have a better idea of what I have.
