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.

Interesting.  I had to go back and look at the pictures you previously posted of your machine.  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.
