AngryChris Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Coins keep getting stuck just after inserting them on this machine. There doesn't appear to be any debris. They are just resting on the metal piece that guides them into the chute so you can physically see them through the coin slot from outside the machine. I don't know if the metal piece is scuffed up or what. I don't know how to resolve it other than leaning the machine a little further back. It happens mostly to dimes... Probably because they don't weigh much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm not sure if the metal piece is part of the coin chute or part of something else. I've never replaced this type of part. If necessary, is it easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 AngryChris The display glass just above the slot might be loose and dropped down just enough to block the slot. Mine was doing the same thing. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunCandy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Take off your plastic cover for coin slot and see if it needs cleaning, could have syrup from a can drink that was pored into coin slot, I have no pictures from mine and can't copy and paste here to show what I mean. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I did move the top out of the way so I could feel the chute with my finger but it felt fine, just a little rough like tarnished galvanized steel. Once the coin makes it to the plastic part of the chute, everything works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's a pain to get to, the problem is there once you get it all out the way, you will see what I'm talking about. With no pictures it is tough to explain, cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Chris, Cajun is saying that maybe the credit display is loose and hanging down on top of the coin slot. If you've had the chute top off then you would have seen that. The coin insert is in the coin casting and to replace it means you have to replace the coin casting. Check that your machine is level now and not leaning forward. Leaning it back generally won't fix it as you'd have to lean it way too much to have an effect and then you mess up the vending. Your coin chute body is probably raised up just above the edge of the coin insert and partly blocking the coins. Try loosening the two mounting screws and see if you can lower the front edge of the chute a bit. Also look for an errant dime that might be stuck in there between the coin insert and the chute.

AngryChris Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I uploaded a photo with the coin chute cover on. The coins simply don't slide down the metal piece well. An adjustment to the chute didn't accomplish anything from what I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunCandy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Good picture AngryChris! That piece of metal can be bent down, you would have to take off plastic coin chute and bend it down little at a time until coins flow down like they should. On mine the credit display glass was blocking part of the coin slot on bezel. Be careful and good luck. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 There were a lot of scratch marks on it so I know someone from the previous account used a screwdriver on it while trying to unjam it at some point, so I bet that's the problem. Maybe some fine sandpaper would help? I did try bending it down but the whole piece was getting moved so I stopped. Maybe a hammer will fix it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Because that ramp is part of the coin casting, just use a flat metal file on it to smooth it back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm assuming I should use a fine file. Is that appropriate? By the way. The coin chute cover is a major pain in the golpher to get back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If you think that one's tough to assemble, try a DN coin chute on the newer machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryChris Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Not yet Cajun. I'm going to try using a file as Randy mentioned as I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully that will smooth it all out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I bought that Royal 650, for cheap and had to fix a few things on it before it made it on location. I guess you can call me a tight golpher for doing stuff like that, but I learn how to tear apart and fix stuff! cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 There's a fine line between being considered a tight golpher and being considered "economical". When you're a small business, you gotta do what you gotta do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Update: I got a small file about 1/4" wide and about 4" long. I filed it smooth and the coins go through like a hot knife through butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryChris Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I was so happy about how it turned out, I went to Harbor Freight and bought a 12-piece set of files lol. Now I have enough files for both vehicles and for home so I can make sure that the problem can be quickly addressed should it ever happen again.
