pie factory coin problems

[kinglizard69]

i have recently purchased pie factory 1 but it won't accept 20p,1£,2£ coins,they just fall straight through to the bottom with no credits given.It takes 10p & 50p coins o.k. if I enable the coin alarm on the switch bank,the alarm goes off.any ideas???

When you say they fall through to the bottom do you mean to the cash box or to the payout tray?

[kinglizard69]

they fall to the cash box

[skeggy_engineer]

Could be one of 2 things, faulty mech or faulty board but is usually the coin mech not sending the correct signal to the baord, hence why the alarm is going off

[skeggy_engineer]

Might be worth unplugging the coin mech loom both ends, making sure all the pins are intact as a fulty loom would also cause this

when this happened to me some divvy had put the mech plug in wrong

[kinglizard69]

i've checked all the plugs i can find & still the same,starting to really p**s me off now,av you ever tried to put 20 quid worth of 50p's in a fruity,takes ages.
thanx 4 advice though

i've sorted the problem now,i took the board out & put it back in,simple really,but now the 1pound coins go into the cash box instead of the hopper.any ideas?

The machine probably thinks the hopper is full; dump the hopper (whether there is anything in it or not).
The machine should then know the hopper is empty and divert coins to it.
