Part of a slot machine
The whole sentence reads: Required HardMeter is missing
It's a file with names, instructions of use and failures of the parts of the slot machine. Any help will be very appreciated. I found in ebay the description of this part but cannot find its proper translation. It's a technical thing.
"This is a hard meter for an IGT slot machine. It came out of a 19" Game King/I-Game but could be..." And this one is NOT the text I am working on, this is part of the product description I found in Google.
The translation will be used in Mexico.

Medidor/tablero analogico
Acording to the research I made, soft meter refers to digital displays of all related infor, while hard meters are the analogic ones.

| Muy interesante esta referencia. Sin la menor duda se trata de un medidor, y entonces entiendo que debe tratarse de un medidor de monedas, precisamente por la explicación de la legislación en el enlace que incluyes. ¡Muchas gracias, Roberto! |
