Pringles tower

[popp665]

help please! Got a Pringles tower and unlike my other ones where u give the mech a sharp yank and the plastic fascia comes off this one wont budge, im assuming they changed the design on newer models anyone assist?

There are 2 clips on inside of front panel which you slide back.
this will then release front panel.

Just take coin box out put hand in and you will feel the clips just slide back.
On a lot of machines these tend to snap off thats why you can normally just push up and panel comes off.

Cheers MIke, Clips found and slid back but still wont move........... Any suggestions?

I should add the clips were very loose is this normally the case?

Move the drum from where the pots come out, at the same time as pulling the mech it may then free the mech from the drum and turny bit!

Is it a 2nd hand machine.
If so it could have been super glued down to stop antbody breaking into it.
Use a small flat headed screw driver to prize panel off.

If they are Clenport machines you can pull the clips back on the inside then make sure the coin mech handle is horizontal and coin carrier in the starting position then gently tap it up the way with a rubber mallet, this should push the plastic panel up as the coin mech rises. Using a flat head screwdriver works too but would recommend wrapping the head in a bit of tape to avoid damaging the finish.
