Two used machines, 1995 triple diamonds, red white and blue- power but no worky

That blue part with the colored bands I think you are touching or pointing to is a resistor, there are several of them on that board. The large gray part is a capacitor. There may be other capacitors on the board not in the photo but that is what they look like.

Or you can unplug the solenoid and tie the rake back. Any coin will pass thru is the only negative. I had an extra coin in assembly to replace the one on my signature custom machine. Just noticed I should change the reel glass to black. Wow 3 years and just saw it.

Thank you.  Realized after i posted that i was showing my drunk side.

This is what therockinelvis is referring to. The back of the coin comparitor has a part called the "rake" due to what it resembles. The rake is spring loaded so that it normally is in the coin path and causes the inserted coin to be rejected. If the coin comparitor accepts the coin as legit then the rake solenoid gets power applied to it and the rake is moved out of the way of the coin so it will be accepted into the machine optics or whatever is next in the "good" coin path.

Here is an old coin comparitor with the rake wedged open with my voter registration card just to show how it's done. If you decide to do this I'd tie back or wedge open the rake more permanently. Also, as therockinelvis said, you can still get the solenoid buzz noise unless you disconnect it.

Or you can just get another coin comparitor, good used ones are not that costly.

when the rake buzz's that usually indicates the voltage in the cc-16 is lower that 19 vdc, and the large cap needs to be replaced. that usually will fix 99% of them.

Winner winner chicken dinner.  Works perfectly now and wasnt a difficult repair.  Thanks DOC!   Now back to the triple diamonds.

What is the triple diamond doing?
