    For that you would have to contact the office or I'll be in breach on contract. But I don't think you would like their labour rates...

    Here's the culprit a blooming great 30mm long screw jammed in one of the chutes down to the payout motor.

    20170814_204018.jpg


    My guess is. There are 2 paths to the motor. Each has a sensor.just before it. It was detecting the empty path so didn't payout. When the power was switched off. Then on. The machine tried to catch up on it's winnings. Turned the motor and got the signal from the first chute but never got the second so stopped.

    Now all working fine.

    Thanks for visiting me last night...without your extensive knowledge, and ability to pinpoint the error, I would have not been able to ever use the machine.
    As you pointed out to me, the screw was one of the same type the cabinet was made of, yet, there were none missing. My guess is that it was dropped into the ball bank at the back by mistake when the cabinet was made and slowly worked it way down the chute.
    I have learned a lot from you watching you working on the machine, I now have a better understanding of how it works.
    I can't thank you enough, also thanks for your Top Gear episode I will Youtube it!

    Just got a fever on new Wanted machine, and it was only paying in 1 lane, and stopped paying halfway through, so I watched to see what was going on, took apart payout motor and found a full size dead moth, so your not the only lucky one to get a machine with something blocking payouts
