Coin door wiring question
Turnarcades:
Slam switch? Never heard of those, but an effective deterrent back in the day I bet; kick me and lose your f-ing game!
kelemvor:
My door had that slam switch too. It has a weight on it so I could tell that's how it worked but didn't know what it was really for. I took it off.
cmoses:
So you can just not wire the Slam Swith and the Coin Lock Out and it will be fine?
I question this, because when I drop a quarter in now, with nothing powered, it always goes through and comes out in the coin return. I figured this is because there was no power going to the coin door, machine turned off, quarter falls through to return, makes sense.
I figured when the coin door was powered, not just lights, but power to the mechanisims, then the Coin Lock Outs would turn on, and be able to distiguish between a quarter and something else. Quarters going into the coin bucket and triggering a credit, everything else in the coin return.
I wasn't sure what type of power was needed for the Coin Lock Outs. If there is no power to them, won't they just continue to reject anything and never give credits?
kelemvor:
Is it a magnet in there that if it has power it pulls something ot make the coins go trough? Can you move the switch manually to find out how the coins can go the proper path? I haven't hooked mine up yet so I'm just guessing....
DaOld Man:
Ive never dealt with the coin lock things, but from the posted pic, they look like solenoids or relay armatures.
If that pin going into the coin mech is on a movable arm near the round part of the lockout (probably a coil), try holding the arm in, see if it pulls the pin out of the mech. if so, try dropping a quarter in with the pin retracted.
If it works then all you will have to do is remove the lock out things.
Im thinking with power off, the coin is rejected, which makes sense in case the machine is unplugged or broke. The coil energized should pull the pin out of the mech and allow the mech to work as intended.
But I could be wrong.
