Coin Mech Replacement 

Perform the following steps to remove the coin mech.  You can replace the coin mech with any 
standard arcade coin mech.  
1.

 

Unscrew the thumbscrews on the latches as shown by the arrows in step 1 of the figure below.  

2.

 

Slide the latches apart from each other and remove the Coin Mech as shown in steps 2 and 3. 

3.

 

Reverse these steps to re-install a coin mech.  It is important to verify the operation of the newly 
installed coin mech with both good and bad coins.

Servicing the Coin Mech and Coin Meter 

Coin Meter Replacement 

The coin meter is located in the bottom left-hand corner of the coin vault.  It receives power via 
the GVRI/O PCB.  If the coin meter stops working, first check the 5A fuse on the GVRI/O PCB 
and replace it if blown.  Perform the following steps to replace the coin meter: 
1.

 

Turn the cabinet OFF and disconnect the AC power cord. 

2.

 

Remove the two Phillips screws securing the coin meter to the cabinet and remove the coin 
meter.  

3.

 

Cut the two wires from the coin meter and strip the ends of the wires to attach the new meter. 

4.

 

Use two butt splices to connect the wires to the new coin meter. 

5.

 

Secure the new coin meter with the two screws removed previously. 

Power Distribution Service 

AC Power Plate 

The AC power plate provides the external AC power connection.  An AC EMI Filter in the 
power plate removes electrical noise that can cause interference with the hardware inside the 
cabinet. 
AC power from the power plate is connected to a 7-outlet AC power strip/surge suppressor in the 
cabinet.   

Caution:  The cabinet must be connected to a secure ground to function properly.
