UPDATE: Problem was solved. The coin mech inside was actually make for .900' diameter coins, quarters are .955'. The reject buttons on the outside of the machine said 25 cents, so I assumed. After taking the mech out, '.900' is written right on the side of it. I have a .900' token and it did work. Lesson learned!
The response I had on my first issue (monitor related) was very helpful! Hoping I can get another bit of advice. I have a couple issues with my coin slot assembly. Both are probably easy fixes, but obviously this is new to me..
1) Burnt out lights - The LEDs are definitely burnt out. Where can I get replacements? I've heard superbrights.com has them but I'm not quite finding something that looks like mine. Picture of the bulb and housing attached....this seems like a bulb that I could find at a hardware store but I don't know the required size/specs. FYI, this will be in an Coin Acceptors Inc. assembly. Seems they were bought by Happ? Picture of the assembly also attached, as mentioned in issue 2.
2) Stuck Coins - Quarters are getting stuck. There's a picture below where they're getting stuck. The blue line is the path the coin takes once inserted, the red circle is where the coin is stuck. It seems they're stuck on the brass lever...the coin reject button works just fine and I know the end mechanism (switch?) that adds the credit works, I just can't figure out how to get it to accept a coin. The front door does say 25C on it as well, so it seems it should be set for US quarters.
Any help is appreciated.
