In Reply to: sticky coin reject? Fixes anyone? posted by buzzdat on 8, 2001 at 3:33 AM:
: 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.
