Title: My brand new Happ coin mech spits out new state quarters esp Idaho?! *Fixed*
Post by: mrclean on October 16, 2008, 01:08:27 am
Most of the times the quarters seem to go through the coin mech brand new from happ, and sometimes they get stuck. Especially certain new state quarters such as Idaho ? Can any one tell me a way to alleviate this issue ? my older green one "5301-10 "which is probably 20 years old seems fine and doesnt have the same issue. Off Taito cabinet

New quarters are probably a tad bit thick and jamming/rubbing on the gate magnet. There is a thickness adjusting screw for the gate magnet.

Top screw in the first picture. About a 1/4 of a turn to the right (clockwise) should be enough.
