Blæ, some of you guys are OK and some of you just plain suck.
I do something that's legal and hurts noone.

Slander and threats of rape is worse.
I don't have to take this. Good day.

slot machines were banned in norway on 1 july 2007. Not a pub or arcade in the country that has one.

Wow, I don't think I have ticked off that many people at one time! My gosh.

I am sorry. I didn't point out clearly enough that I was not talking about ripping off other people's machines, just my own. I have one sitting in my gameroom.

:lol: I've been playing with my maygay for ages, with the good ole string-to-coin toofer. I've learned alot, primarily that slots have alarms. 99% of the time I was unsuccessful, its no prob dropping a coin in there with a string attached to it, all you are achieving is a stuffed hopper. However, on...

and have you tried to re-teach the coin mech the coin or coins your havin trouble with? teaching new coins would be awesome, would be fun to learn and play with, maybe do tokens and such. anyway it appears the prob sorted after I gave it a clean anyway. Prolly just had to run a few coins thru it af...

heck no, it takes 1nok 5nok 10nok 20nok

Yea Ill require a norwegian one then, so I might just forget about it since its a machine that only sits in my gameroom anyway.

Gave er a good clean, wasn't too dirty to begin with. Doesn't seem to have helped. I tried heating some coins, that didnt help. Letting the machine stay on for a while doesnt seem to help either. It kind of streaks- sometimes it will take 7 coins consecutively, but most of the time it will reject a ...

Ok as soon as I figure out how to open this thing, Ill give her a clean. There's a bunch of components connected so I'll need to read in the tech manual.

yea sure but how come the fault doesn't persist? Most of the time I can turn it on no problems.

fired it up ten times today and eventually it tripped the fuse again

i just reset the fuse and it fired up fine now... betcha its going to trip the fuse later on

as the manual says, the cable is 1,5 meters long and into a socket.

I've noticed, that sometimes, when I turn my machine on, the fuse blows in the house's box (NOT in the machine). I've tried it on different circuits, and sometimes it just trips the fuse on that circuit, or it runs like it should. I've had it on for a couple of hours without problems, it only happen...

My maygay takes four kinds of coins. 1-5-10-20. 1-10 are fine. 5 rejects every now and then, and seems to dump most 5s into the floor of the machine rather than to its hopper. 20 is the biggest problem. 90% of them are rejected.I suppose if you stand there quite a while putting em back in they will ...
