Hey guys I just purchased the light up sign replacement from Funtronics for my V90. I tried to track down some instruction in the archives on the proper way to remove the current sign and put my new one in its place but I had no luck. I should have it here at my house any day now.
Anyone out there have advice on how to do this?
Thanks,
-Ryan

There should be 2 screws either looking up just above the coin return or open the main door and there may be 2 screws going into the sign from that side..

Once you get the two screws out of the right hand side of the main door, gently pry the door from the right side of the sign frame to the left. There are two pins on the left side of the sign frame that fit into the door frame. Once you get the sign out there should be a plug to unhook it.

I have successfully dismantled it as you instructed. Now I just need to slide in the new plate.
Thanks!

Ok so I received the replacement sign and went to put it in the machine but I now have a problem. The size is different. It appears that the sign that I ordered through Funtronics is about half an inch too short from top to bottom.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone have any advice/suggestions or know of a place that I could get the appropriate panel to fit that opening?
Thanks,
-Ryan

Can you post a picture of your machine? That will greatly help. Take a picture of the signs as well.

No problem. You'll find the pictures attached below of the whole machine, then the old sign up close, and the new sign with a gap.

can you show better pictures of the sign frame? It does not look original to me. What does the light look like behind the sign. Looks to me like someone made yours into a lightup machine from a solid sign machine. If this is the case it can be fixed. please show more pictures of the sign frame if you can.

your new sign should have measured 9-5/8" high by 15-9/16" wide.
