Coin Door Question
« on: March 12, 2007, 08:07:53 pm »
I originally thought my coin door was not hooked up because when i put a quater in, it just comes out the return slot.

anyway, today i discovered that behind the door there is a little thing that looks like a straightened paper clip at the botton of the mechanism and when a pull it back it will give me a credit. so i guess it is hooked up?

so i am wondering how i can get this to work with a quater.

any ideas?

(also im a total newb)

If the quarter just comes back out the return chute the Coin Mech is probably set up for tokens and not quarters.  If you can get a part number off of it someone here might be able to identify it for you.

That's an impossible question to answer without knowing what coin mech it is that you have.... If you can't figure out what mech it is then post a picture of it.
