Coin mech problems

[Snackmore]

Had a site that was complaining that the coins were going in but no sweets out? I tested several times and couldnt find anything wrong, even had the coin mech off and showed the landlord how it worked, in the end I swapped the machine to keep him happy.

Had a call out at the weekend with the same fault this time when I tested it the coins did infact drop straight through. I took the coin mech off and discovered the back plate screws at the top were loose, tightened them up and bobs your uncle.

Not sure if this is a common fault, I have never had it in the 16 months I have been trading.

Thought I would share with you all if you were not aware

Ive had the exact same problem Steve with one of mine. Not in as long as yours, this one in question was fixed 2 weeks ago and had been in since December.

The screws on mine we opened quite wide which ive never seen before either, unfortunately someone decided to go fishing with a hair clip in mine and made a right mess of it. Thankfully I had a spare and im going to get Hurleys to refurbish the one i took out.

Cheers

yup, i find loosening the back plate screws a great way to increase profits. coins go in but no sweets out! also stops those annoying kids who put in the wrong coins...
