  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

FIXED-Coin mech help. (Coin gets stuck)
« on: February 21, 2008, 02:25:45 pm »
EDIT:
I fixed the problem. Seems the first arm that catches the coin was slightly bent, so the coin just shot through. I bent it back with a pair of pliers and now it's working great!


I just received two new coin mechs from Mikesarcade (http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=COINMECHS) today and one of them is giving me trouble. The coin gets stuck here:


It works fine on the other. What do I need to adjust to get the coin to pass through?

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. (At work, so it's hard to try at the moment)

Alright, I tried adjusting the screw and no matter how I do it, it either catches in the first arm and doesn't release it, or it falls straight down past the arm and gets caught under it and I have to reject it out.
Any suggestions?
