In Reply to: Re: sticky coin reject? Fixes anyone? posted by OSCAR on 8, 2001 at 10:06 AM:
The problem is actually in the plastic acceptor itself - the reject lever on the acceptor is sticking in the "down" position. I've cleaned the acceptor with soapy water but it didn't make much difference.
: : Recently picked up an older coin controls door with mechs, one of the mechs has a sticky coin reject lever. wondering if there was a trick to fixing 'em when this happens. Any hints?

: The coin mechs I got off eBay were very sticky when I received them. The previous owner thought they didn't work, because a quarter wouldn't even go through them and the reject buttons would stay stuck in when you pressed them.
: I just cleaned them up a bit and gave them a good shot of Break Away (penatrating oil), and they have been working like new for over a year now.
: You may also want to check to see if the spring behind the rejector is there.
