Title: Coins not dropping Post by: Heart on May 21, 2011, 02:32:43 PM The coins are not dropping on our IGT Sugar and Spice Machine. We have tried to adjust the knife. Machine works for a few coins then jams again. Any ideas as to how to fix it or a place to purchase new knife mechanism?

I have seen dimes in nickel machines do that, nickels in quarter machines will do it, etc. Also, is this something that just started happening?

Hand bend the knife so it's flat again. Re-install the knife so the knife is flat against both pinwheel (the back disc plate) and the wheel shelf. You should be back in business! :89- Title: Re: Coins not dropping Post by: reho33 on May 23, 2011, 12:32:07 AM Or use a hair dryer to heat it up and keep it in position until it cools. I did this with an S+ knife and it repaired it but they are so cheap anyway, get a new one.
