claw machine reoair

[robert g]

I have a clean sweep small claw machine for plush toys. It is missing the bill acceptor so I am trying to set it up with coin play only. I am looking for the dip switch settings and it has 2 sets of switches 1-8. I am wanting to set it for 25cent play with 15 sec. timer and the claw to drip and close automatically with the push of the red button. Can anyone help?

Hi there.  I've attached a manual I found for the 5th generation Clean Sweep claw machine.  I obviously don't know what generation your machine is, but perhaps this will help?

The DIP switch settings are on page 13 of the .pdf, although it looks like the information for switch 8 in the first bank is somehow missing.

Make a note of your current settings before changing anything, just in case you need to get back to your current configuration.

Based on the information in the manual and what you stated, you want to have the following switch setup (make sure the power is off when changing DIP switch settings):

Bank 1:

Switches 1-5 OFF
Switch 6 ON
Switch 7 OFF
Switch 8 (?) - (Start with this OFF, then test the game and see what the game timer is.  If it's 15 seconds, you're good to go.  If it's 20 seconds, flip switch 8 to ON and it should change to 15 seconds.)


Bank 2:

Switch 1 ON (for a "B+"-style game, as you described in how you want the claw/button behavior)
Switches 2-3 OFF
Switch 4 ON
Switches 5-6 OFF
Switch 7 ON
Switch 8 OFF (also to configure the "B+"-style game)

Note, switches 2-6 in bank 2 only apply if there is a bill validator installed.

Good luck -- the manual is attached below.
