Working on my machine Arepachi
Most of my consulting on the mechanics of my machines as everyone knows is done with Mopar and the work is done by Mopar.
My Taiyo Arepachi started acting up and not resetting after you played a game. You at first would have to drop in a coin and it would work and then it took two and then it went up to five before it would reset.
We have an old TV repair shop so I ask the repairman their if he would take a look at it. He said he was extremely busy but if I was willing to wait he would work on it when he got caught up.
A month later about ready to pick it back up and he said no he was looking forward to working on it. Well he called and I went and picked it up.
The problem was a burnt contact in one of the big plugs that plug into the circuit board on the back. He took the plug apart and cleaned it up and kind of serviced the machine. Before when it paid their was a loud klunk now all you here is the coin sliding out and see the payout light blink.
I thought I would post this for your information and Just another way to keep these great machines going.
