Title: What coin head do I need Post by: jbshocks on October 29, 2011, 11:10:57 AM I just got a bunch of token that I would like to run in my S model slot. I have been running quarters in it so I assume it has a quarter coin head in it. If I try the tokens they get stuck. The tokens are .984 diameter a quarter is .952. What size coin head is needed or do the jump up to dollar and I would likely have trouble? I know I could file but I don't want to. I would like to keep the quarter coin head in top shape for future use.
Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: OhioGaming on October 29, 2011, 11:40:26 AM If you look at the back of the coin head there is a tail that comes down a little bit with a number on it. I have attached a crappy picture of a number 11 with a 984 in it so it will go through but just a little more snug than a 12 which a number 12 is for a quarter .. so a 984 will go through a 11 and 12. Can you look to see what number is on your coin head?
Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: cowboygames on October 29, 2011, 11:53:45 AM I've run into that a couple times. If you take the back plate off the coin head a dremel tool will fix your problem quickly. Last one I did turned a nickle head into a quarter head.
Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: jbshocks on October 29, 2011, 11:54:31 AM There is no tail on this coin head. Its flush all the way across the bottom.

Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: jbshocks on October 29, 2011, 12:53:50 PM no it is an upright S model, not an S+ do the S and S+ use the same coin head back plate? Is an 11 for nickels if 12 is the correct quarter one?

Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: OhioGaming on October 29, 2011, 12:55:39 PM What type of comparitor is in it?
Scratch that .. since the token won't get that far. Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: jbshocks on October 29, 2011, 01:07:43 PM Here it is with the token stuck. The second shot shows the missing tail and you can see the gap between coin head and comp. I am guessing that the missing tail is why this machine will sometimes jam quarters if you put them in to fast.
Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: OhioGaming on October 29, 2011, 01:32:25 PM I believe your entry is smaller since a quater or #12 entry head will work for both a quarter or 984 token.
In the picture I posted earlier a 984 goes through a #11 which has a smaller width than a #12. In the S model they used a spacer plate like in the large coin S+ model that has a small guide (tail). Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: jbshocks on October 29, 2011, 01:52:58 PM so do I have to get a s model plate?
Title: Re: What coin head do I need Post by: blueridgeslots on October 29, 2011, 07:52:30 PM #15 is correct for .984 token, well the midwest casinos used 15's for their tokens in the early 90's and were a touch thicker than a jap token
