I think his scavenger coil is not energized and thatâ€™s why itâ€™s rejecting the coins.

Not sure the name of it?, but the coin slide thing that is attached to the coin diverter is rattling. Is there anyway to adjust it?

Amechanic · « **Reply #22 on:** September 17, 2018, 04:01:16 PM »

I used a emery board, the same style you use to file your nails. Put it behind the metal plate and in front of the coil with the power turned off. Them push the metal plate to hold pressure on the emery board and file up and down and little at a time to clean up the two surfaces. I also have tightened up the return spring a little. Everyone tends to be a little different. Some are quiet, others might still have a little buzzing.

So how do i test the lockout coil? I think its bad and that is why the coins just drop through. And how do i make a donation?

If you own a voltage meter you can test the coil for resistance.. Does your look like itâ€™s gotten hot? As for making a donation to the sight, you can find a link at the bottom of every page. See pic.

Posted photo of coil similar to lock out.
Check the copper wires on your coil, sometime there are very fine cracks or loose connections.
There are after market coils, can't remember the name of the company at this moment.

With my voltage meter on AC i'm getting a reading of 52 volts, but the lockout coil doesn't move

DavidLee · « **Reply #27 on:** September 24, 2018, 09:09:22 PM »

Check for the slightest bit of resistance and or continuity in the coil.
Also that it is insulated when itâ€™s installed. The screw in the back is also insulated.
I donâ€™t think it would be poor insulation as the coil would buzz, but strange things sometimes happen.
Those small copper wire may appear to connected to the solder joint,
but just a hairline crack will keep the coil from working.
Test the coil out of the machine by applying 52 vac and hold a metal object near the two metal post.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #28 on:** September 25, 2018, 02:12:17 PM »

No it doesn't look like it got hot. I'm not sure how i can put 52 vac to it? And should my meter be on AC or on DC to test it?

Amechanic · « **Reply #29 on:** September 25, 2018, 02:15:56 PM »

If you do a continuity test with the power turned off, that will tell us if the coils good or not.

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #30 on:** September 25, 2018, 02:27:06 PM »

Just put them volt meter on continuity and what do i turn the dials to? Also that loose yellow wire is soldered to the orange wire on the lockout coil, and can i get the coil out by unscrewing the coin mech. box? or do to have to take out the belly glass to get it off?

Okay to start I do not know what meter you have
So post a picture of your meter and then I will make a video testing that coil so you can see the resistance with as close to the meter you're using as I have I will attempt to tell you where to set the meter out I have changed very few of those actual coils I started with these old machines in the early 80s in South Lake Tahoe I have done a lot of them I have a lot of them at my home it is usually a bad switch not a bad coil if the machine is functioning properly without the coil remove the Armature and play it for a while make sure it is working properly only try to fix one problem at a time get the machine working first one problem at a time I can talk you through one thing at a time not 10 I'll see what I can do

Tat2Dave · « **Reply #32 on:** September 25, 2018, 04:10:00 PM »

volt meter

Photo for previous post.
Seldom do you find cracked coil wire leads. But need to eliminate the possibility of broken leads as to not be spending a lot of time for nothing.
You can check continuity with a low voltage battery and light.

Myself, I built a power supply for testing equipment, Volts AC, fuses, relays and bulbs.

Amechanic · « **Reply #35 on:** September 25, 2018, 05:57:18 PM »

David you are amazing..

Thatâ€™s Tester looks like it could have been a kit you buy and build, but you built that from scratch. Very cool. 👍

DavidLee · « **Reply #36 on:** September 25, 2018, 06:29:47 PM »

Thanks Gary,
I use to just use an old transformer and clip on the 110 volts, but very unsafe.
Had the idea in my head for a long time which gave me time to redesign before I came up with a final concept. Didnâ€™t take long to build, but the time frame was about a month of piecing it together.
Only a few new parts the rest was stuff laying around the shop, but put together became useful.

Just finished a rodent launcher Iâ€™m calling it â€œRat Mobileâ€
Think itâ€™s to off subject for this site. If I post a video on YouTube Iâ€™ Let you know.

Sounds interest if not humorist.

You can post about the Rat Mobile in the forum below, it's pretty much 'anything-goes' in there:

That tester you built is very amazing, pretty cool shit. I mighty have something i can use as a power supply, i just thought of it. A power supply i used for tattooing. And i donated 20$ today for all your guys help. thank you for your time.
