Coin Door Issue... Need help / Advice
(1/4) > >>
Comp1demon:
I have a Happs 4 slot coin door.  I am building a quad cabinet so this is the door I need.  I have it all wired up and working properly with a IPAC and the Light harness works fine.  I tried a 2 player game and 4 player game and all regester credits properly.

Here is my issue.

Every Coin Falls right through to the Box.  If a Credit Don't register or I drop a coin in slots 3 or 4 on a 2 player game the coin falls right through to the cash box.  How do I get it so the option for the reject button works?  IS there a way to keep the coin in the Chute or something so the reject button can return the coin? Is thisx possible on a home brew cabinet?

Thanks,
C1D

Sounds like it's doing exactly as it's designed; collect money into a bin.

You want your money out, you open the coin door and remove the bin.

If you just want the money to come right out, you shouldn't be using a coin door!

If the coin sticks in the Chute, it normally will not register a credit (doesn't trip the "switch" until right before it falls into the cashbox).it was designed this way to minimize theft.  What you may want to look into is using tokens (if you concerned about having money in the coin box), or wire up an extra button to the credit switch (on the coin door, or the encoder), so that you can get credits by either inserting a quarter/token, or pushing the "credit" button.

I agree with Peale...what you have sounds like normal operation, and if that is not what you are looking for, ditch or mod the coin door.

Good Luck!

is it not registering a credit when the machine keeps the quarter in players three and four...?
2PacMan:
I think what he's saying is that sometimes the quarter goes in the slot and doesn't register a credit and instead of going in the coin return slot, it goes in the coin box anyway.  He is thinking that if it doesn't register a play, it should go into the coin return chute instead of the coin box. 

IF that is what he means, unfortunately there's no way to do that....like the above poster said, the coin return shoot is if the coin gets stuck in the mech.  My suggestion is that the mech needs adjusting if it is only tripping the switch sometimes.
