the display lights will act diffrently when the machine has credits. will be in attract mode when there are no credits.

i dont know what technology the machine uses, so need to know whats inside..

easiest what would be for you to post a vid or a couple of photo's

hold the door swiches closed, insert a coin and watch the green led.

then post what it does

also how many connectors between the mech and the machine?

The coin mech will be on cctalk,with no routing plug ,and if you open the gate it will show a red light because it doesn't sense the coils in the mech and thar is telling you it is an error

Sorry I don't understand.

If I put a coin in with door switch closed the red led flashes 4 times.

Mech manual shows 4 flashes means coin inhibited by host machine. How to I make the machine allow it?

Thanks again for help.

Thanks again for help.

ok, the mech you have is whats known as a "multi-protocol " mech, this means it can operate in diffrent modes, (c-c talk, parallel etc).

if you look on the front of the mech, close to the led and where it plugs into the machine you will see a bank of eight switches.

The attachment 108611164_mei-cashflow-coin-validator-cf9500-usfc0001-ebay.jpg is no longer available

(i hope that image is similer to the mech you have, if not ignore my ramblings

)

i suspect the machine is inhibiting the coins because the mech is set on the wrong protocol.

this is controlled by the switches as shown on the image.
you are only interested in switches 1 and 2. ignore switches 3 -8, they should all be switched off.

you will have to try all four configurations, although i think it should be 1 off, 2 on.

always switch the machine off while changing switches, then power up and test with the doors in closed position. (tape up the switches or summit)

try off off, off on, on off, on on

hopefully when you hit the correct one, the machine start accepting coins..

also check the status led on the mech and note down any changes from the 4 red flashes each time you change the switches...
incase we still have a problem

Thank you so much!!!! I owe you a beer or two! This did it. Only issue now is rejected coins drop in the hopper rather than being dropped in the collection tray.

maybe a bit of the plumbing missing, can post a short vid or a couple of photo's of the inside of the machine?

Correct again sir!

Looks like something is missing. For now I have made a cardboard chute that allows any rejected coins to come out the coin tray. Only issue I have now is that sometimes 50p coins go into the £1 hopper.

I can't see how the coin mech splits the £1's from other coins. I can see that £1's drop down and other coins more towards the front but it's strange as looks like they drop from the same hole.

Really enjoyed playing the machine tonight! Can't thank you enough for your help (and the others who chipped in).

Also managed to figure out test mode and used it to find and replace nay blown bulbs.

I'll post pics tomorrow. Hope it's something I can get hold of.

nice 1, cardboard chutes are fine as long as it works

just dont let anyone use 50p lol

ps have a look down the bottom of the machine, the missing chute might be lying around in there

I'm back home now but will tell my dad to have a look for any loose pieces.

I took some pics of the mech and hopper and it's clear somethings missing between the two as the coins are just falling roughly where they should be - surprised it works as well as it does without the missing sorter (?). I guess it needs some kind of divider - anyone have a link to this part or what it looks like?

I took these pics before we added our high tech cardboard chute for rejected coins :-)
