BALLY CC-62-C Coin Acceptor

[coinopshop]

 Having one heck of a time changing these over from a $1 token to .25 cents ( quarters ). I got one out of 3 to actually take a quarter. I've adjusted the rail. I've tried adjusting the "pot" with no luck. Is the weight on the damper "really" that important ? I know there is another weight for a quarter. But since a quarter weighs less than a dollar token, couldn't I just grind of some weight until it works ? I really don't beileve the weight is the problem here.
 
 Is there a way to "always enable" the acceptor ? Something to do with the "inhibit" wire ? Thanks for your help in advance,
 
 Dave

Deja vu going on here...I just responded to another thread about this...lol
You guys playing an early April Fool's joke on me? 

You really don't need the dampner for U.S. quarters.
It sounds like the one you have in there is too heavy and it's actually inhibiting
the smooth flow of the coins falling through.
Just take a small flat screwdriver and fully remove it from
the coin comparitor and you should be okay.
Take a look at Suzo-Happs website for coin comparitors....in there you will
find the correct weighted dampner for U.S. quarters.
I looked for the heck of it...lol
It's 2.6 grams for nickels and quarters.
Larger tokens and .50 cent pieces use heavier dampners that weigh up to
14.2 grams whereas pennies and dimes use much lighter dampners!
Here's a picture of what it looks like>>>

 SO...if I grind 1/2 the weight off the $1 damper, I "should" be ok. But, I'm not sure on the lenghth of the "plastic arm" though.

I'd save it for in case you'd might want to switch
back to tokens or something later on.
Best thing to do is just remove it entirely in one piece by
un-screwing the small bolt that holds it in place.

 Just remove the weight, grasp the weight with a pair of pliers and turn CCW

I just did this a couple weeks back on a machine where the client wanted it to take dimes (did not care of the hopper worked or not)...which of course were too light to push the lever down.  I removed the lever arm and the weight as pictured and it works just fine.
