Exiting the test mode is accomplished by pressing the discard buttons 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously.

WORKED PERFECTLY!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Do you have any idea how to change it from INSERT COIN to FREE PLAY mode?  It was in storage for a few years and when we set it up we somehow lost the ability not to have to insert a coin - know how to fix this? I'm running out of quarters!

I don't think there is a way to change it to free play mode...not that I've ever seen anyway.  Take a photo or video of your machine.  Always fun to share photos among the small CEI community.

If there are credits in the machine above the maximum amount of coins allowed in the machine, coins will fall through.  In other words, if you have your game set to 10 coins max per play, and there are say 50 credits already registered in the machine, you cannot insert anymore coins until there are less than 10 credits left or until you cash out and start again.

Or are you saying that "Insert Coin" is flashing and you still can't insert a coin in the machine?

Insert coin is flashing - but we had it set up (originally) that coins weren't necessary to play - it still rang up credits, etc. but you didn't have to insert quarters.

I will take a pic and post as soon as I get it all "sparkly" clean!

I’ll check tonight, but I think that's a dip switch setting.

Do you still need the c.e.i. operation manual version 51.0x?
It covers version up to 51.08
doyson@aol.com
United Coin Machine Company own and operates the c.e.i  games
we do not make the game anymore but still have about 300 games still in use
