Couple of questions regarding Coin World Bear X
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2015 1:00 pm
Hi
Firstly yes I am a complete novice to this sort of stuff (bar playing a few machines in the local pub) Stumbled upon this machine for sale locally and thought it looked pretty cool, yes its basic but it'll be a nice money box for me
Couple of minor issues I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on.
1. The buttons don't light up or flash, now when I went to collect it I didn't really pay attention to see if they were (the women says they were working) so I can only imagine something had come loose during transit, I've had a look at the wiring and it seems to be 4 wires coming off each button (I presume 2 for lights and 2 for the actual switch) all of the buttons are interlinked and then go to a block connector which I've unplugged and pushed back in nice and tight but still nothing. is there something else I should be looking at? I have tried to remove the switch to check the bulbs (although I cant image they have all blown) but I cannot figure out how to remove them, there is a plastic bit that unscrews which makes the button pop up but I cant seem the fully remove it to get the the bulb (see pic 1)
2. Coin hopper fill up, I am assuming that the lock located in the coin tray is the one to fill up the hopper, I have 4 keys and they all lock and unlock the main door, but they will not go into the lock in the coin tray, am I right in thinking that this is a different key I need? if so are they universal or will I have to look at removing the barrel and fitting a new one?
3. on Picture 2 (hopefully I've uploaded pictures ok) I have a large red button, a small black button and a flick switch..... I have no idea what they are for, they're all wired up but I didn't really want to mess with them without knowing what they did, so any information would be great.
4. I have the large wooden stand for the machine that it sits on, as far as I can see all it houses is the speaker, is there anything to stop me from fitting the speak to the side of the actual machine if I don't want to use the stand (as its rather bulky)
5. Finally, is there any specific site you use to buy bulbs? also I would like to replace the actual button tops as they're a bit worn/scratched.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice, looking forward to giving this machine a good clean up and get it back to its former glory
Apologies but for some reason I cant rotate the pictures, they are correct on my computer but seem to upload sideways with no way to rotate :/
