Picked up a Bally Maverick platform Video Poker machine

Looked for a video poker after my father in-law and I were teaching my son how to play Draw Poker on his iPad this weekend. Got lucky on this one as it is really clean for its age. It was non-working so the price was right. Looks like the battery is dead, so I am going to hack an external battery onto the Dallas chip and I ordered a Clear chip and manual from ebay. Based on what I have found on New Life Games and other sites, it totally looks like the battery is the only issue. Also, it was supposedly working, but just stopped.

Was second in-line on this one and didn't offer full price. Not sure why the first person didn't pick it up, but it was certainly lucky as far as I am concerned. :)

Some pictures are attached. Need to build a nice base for it once I get it working. Probably order some tokens too.

Fair warning.
If you decide to go token route make sure they are the same size as what ever its set to now.. Probably quarters in guessing?
If not same size you will have to change star in the Hooper and track and adjust counter at the end of the hopper.

Thanks for the warning. I am considering quarter sized tokens if anything. It will play with credits and keep them in between power downs so that is working out pretty good so far. I might see if I can connect a bill acceptor. Need some way of getting bulk credits onto the machine. Every now and again I accidentally cash out (same button used for doubles) and have to play with quarters until I start winning again. Would be nice to just pump some bills through and have a ton of credits.
