In Figure 4-7 you will note that the coin switch trip
wire is oriented into the "V" of the secondary coin
chute.
The wire should extend to only about 1/8"
beyond the chute.
A retaining clip holds the wire onto the switch ac-
tuating stud. If you should loose a retaining clip, all is
not lost. Just crimp the switch actuating stud over the
trip wire with a pair of
pliers.
.Meehanieal Adjustments on
Coin .Meehanism
Coin mechanisms are adjusted prior to shipment
from the factory and normally will retain these ad-
justments for many months.
If, due to wear or other
causes, it becomes necessary to make new adjustments,
remove the coin mechanism from the coin door. Then
take it to a clean well-lighted area where it can be plac-
ed in a vertical position on a level surface (such as a
bench top). Besides a screwdriver, you will need a set of
several coins, including both new and old, worn ones.
Figure 4-8 shows an exploded view of the mechanism
and gives procedures for adjusting the kicker, separator,
and the magnet gate. These adjustments should only be
done by someone who has experienced in servicing coin
mechanisms and who understands their operation

General Troubleshooting Hints
The first action is to look for jammed coins. After
these have been removed, examine the coin path for
presence of foreign material or loose objects (such as
chewing gum, small metallic objects, paper wads, etc.). In
cases where game usage is heavy, it may be necessary to
clean the entire coin path periodically, in order to pre-
vent build-up of contaminants that can hinder the move-
ment of coins through the mechanisms. Also confirm
that the trip wire on each coin switch is intact, and is
properly adjusted. If troubles still persist, check the con-
ditions and positions of the lock-out wires, and the
mechanical adjustments on the coin mechanisms,
before suspecting the electronics. If a coin mechanism
