Title: Quarters getting stuck...advice? Post by: Yoeddy1 on September 04, 2009, 05:22:49 PM This doesn't happen often, but I'm occasionally getting a quarter that will get stuck in the coin mech when I drop it in. Pushing the coin release obviously gets it unstuck. Anyone have a good tutorial or photos of where/how to clean the coin mech? Perhaps mine is dirty.

Pushing the coin release obviously gets it unstuck. Interesting. I had to go back and look at the pictures you previously posted of your machine (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=4224.msg36161#msg36161). Sure enough, you have a mechanical coin acceptor in it. Newer S+ machines have an electronic coin comparator in them (and no "coin return" button). I don't know a lot about mechanical acceptors -- I wanted to reply to link to those pictures and hopefully someone may be able to give you more information on what (if anything) can be done to increase acceptance.

Here is a great thread about how mechanical acceptors work - might help you fix it.... http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=179.0 (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=179.0) Dan #2 |
