 Game not recording credits
from coins,
 Bill acceptor not working.

 

Check that the coinbox assembly is
correctly installed.

 

Check that the wiring harness on the
coinbox/bill acceptor is intact and not
damaged.

 

Check that the bill acceptor is powered.

 

Check the actuator wire on the coin
mech micro switch.

 

Coinbox assembly must be fully
inserted and locked into place.

 

Inspect the wiring harness on the
coinbox/bill acceptor for damage.
Make sure that it is fully
connected.

 

Bill acceptor (only) requires a
power connection from the power
supply. This power connection is
the same plug that is used to
power the monitor. There is a
second connector (two
conductors) behind the
coinbox/bill acceptor connector.
Both connections must be
complete for proper operation.

 

The actuator wire is the thin wire
at the end of the coin chute.
