| Where does the coin microswitch go? SOLVED |
| (1/1) |
| rabidpuppy:
So I got this coin mech which is what I remember machines having as a kid, already set to take NZ/AUD 20 cent pieces ("hey gimmie some twennies!" - me 1982). But I don't understand the where to put the microswitch (pic 2, pic 3-4 shows left & right sides). I have no idea and it did not come with any instructions, but it looks like a standard device. Another problem (Pic 1) shows a coin not going through properly, which makes me think I have moved something by mistake and it is no longer set to accept 20c pieces. Is there a For Dummies on how to work these? Cheers! Pew pew pew (me playing Time Pilot 27 years ago) |

at the bottum. as coin travels in the track it will hit a switch "long L shaped wire" just before coin hits bucket it is a special type switch. not like the buttons on CP |

Now what do I do with that wire? Bend it? I also still can't make a coin go through without it being caught and having to be rejected (see very first pic in first post). |

I have never seen a coin mech like this one, but just guessing, I would say the wire needs to bend up into the slot so the coin will push the wire down as it falls through. (See modified image below). I have no idea why the coin is hanging. Looks like a catch at the bottom of the coin has it. have you tried tying it back? |

For future reference of anyone else who may have this mech (the CM01 Mechanical "Classic" Coin Mech as sold by OzStick): This shows the coin rolling correctly, the piece that has "CA CALLE" embossed on it needs to be very very slightly below the top level of the coin: You can adjust this level by unscrewing here and dropping slightly: Here is the bent microswitch wire as advised by DaOld Man (thank you). Note it is much easier to bend it BEFORE attaching the microswitch: Simulated action shot! ;) Coin drops directly onto bent wire, pushing it back enough to trigger the microswitch: Cheers!
