He's referring to the sensitivity adjustment screw on the face of the comparator. Use a small screwdriver, turn it to the left as far as it goes, but don't force it to hard

Before you go and chop off the Q4, I don't think you've proven that there's anything wrong with your coin-in optics. I'd wait to make a modification.

Can you post a photo of the damaged encoder so we can see how the damage looks?

How do I post a photo on the site?

It is real easy. When you are posting a comment/message look below the message input block, down where it says "Attachments and other options", written in green. Click on that and more choices will appear. Then click on "Choose File" and a window will open that lets you select a photo file from your computer or device. After selecting the photo and getting it attached to your message/comment you then click on "Post" at the bottom like always and the comment/message with the photo will get posted.

What is the diameter of the coin you are going to use?

Cashen87 · « **Reply #30 on:** December 06, 2016, 11:54:56 AM »

Norwegian coin (1 krone )
Dim. 21.0mm
Weight. 4,35g
Thikness. 1,7 m

Here it's a pic of norwegian coin 1 krone

rokgpsman · « **Reply #32 on:** December 06, 2016, 01:26:19 PM »

What is the purpose of the hole in the middle of the coin, is there an official government reason? (just curious)

Also, does the krone coin have any magnetic properties, what metal is it made of?

Cashen87 · « **Reply #33 on:** December 06, 2016, 02:55:56 PM »

I don't know whay they have a hole in the middle on the coin.
The coin are made 75% Copper and 25% nickel...

rokgpsman · « **Reply #34 on:** December 06, 2016, 03:22:14 PM »

Do you know of other machines there, either in casinos or private ownership, that use the 1 krone coin? I'm not 100% sure your small krone coin has enough of the right metal, especially with the hole in the middle, for the sensor in the coin comparitor to work. It is interesting but probably not your problem. Plus if you know of other slot machines that use the same coin then we can forget about this possibility.

If you have some USA nickel coins (5 cent coin) I'd try them to see what happens. Just put a USA nickel coin in the coin comparitor for the sample coin, then insert another USA nickel coin to see if the machine will add a credit.

Sorry. I don't have US 5 nickel coin. I don't live in the USA. I live in Norway... we don't have casino in norway

Why not just put it back to quarter size. You can go to EBay and buy 500, .984mm tokens for like $30 dollars plus shipping. Larger coin easier to handle and being a token won't grow legs and walk away from your machine. Unless you are trying to make money from friends using their money. If yes, you need to be prepared to pay off if they win.

Cashen87 · « **Reply #38 on:** December 07, 2016, 07:19:39 AM »

I dont want my friends play fore real money some they can win price because that are phorbiden in Norway...

Well, it could be that your coin comparitor is bad and needs replacement. But the problem could also be the Norway coin you are using, so I'd try a different type of coin or even a metal token just to see what happens, and that would probably be easier and lower cost than getting another coin comparitor. Do you have gaming arcades there that use metal token about the size of a US quarter?
