Title: Coin Door Question
Post by: 97thruhiker on July 25, 2006, 09:23:16 pm
I'm having a problem with my Nintendo Coin Door.  Its rejecting quarters in both assemblies.  I'm guessing that this door was changed to accept tokens or some other type of coin.  Does anyone here know how to set these assemblies to accept quarters?  I figured I'd ask before I started to take it apart since I have zero experience working on these.  Any suggestions, links, etc. would be appreciated.  I did a quick search and looked on the Wiki page but did not find anything.  Thanks.

Those mechs are still manufactured today by Asahi Seiko USA. Contact their tech support department for the adjustment instructions for your particular model.

How did I miss that thread?  I'll look it over tonight.  Thanks.

BTW I tried a Chuck E. Cheese token and it would not fit through the coin opening.  Oh well, I have about fifty of those laying around.  Everytime I take me daughter to that place I seem to come home with a few in my pocket.

Well I figured it out.  When I was restoring the door itself I used a fine grade of steel wool just prior to priming.  At some point in the process I must of set the coin assemblies on the workbench and the magnets picked up steel wool fragments.  This was clogging up the coin chute causing the quarter be rejected.  Cleaned it out and its now working.  Thanks again for helping.
