Pie Factory Coin Mech Issues

Hi guys,

I have a pie factory that was in perfect working order. Out of the blue its not accepting coins. Its almost as if the coins are not even being read just being spat back out. I have cleaned the mech etc and then replaced it with a new mech and again it has the same issues.

It was completely out of the blue. Any ideas please!!!

Not familiar with this particular machine, but suggest you check to see if your coin mech is fed from a fused mech-board, as some of the older machines had a seperate one altogether, and sometimes, if the fuses themselves have not blown, the connections there can get a little "loose".
Assuming the replacement mech you've tried is known to be good, I would next consider a PSU swap, followed by a main board swap, as the coin mech is easily buggered by dodgy power.
Let us know how you get on.
