    Default Sticky tokens on Gamera High Grade

    My question is pertaining to a Gamera High grade Pachislo.
    On the outside of the machine is a chrome coin Insert slot with a speed loader.
    When I attempt to insert tokens into the slot they drop just fine one at a time. When I use the speed loader ramp they stick together or two coins attempt to drop down the coin slot. They don’t actually get stuck I have to drop them one at a time or they bind at the entrance slot. They don’t drop fast like all of my other Pachislo’s do. Does anyone have the same problem? Is it the same on all Gamera High Grade’s? Do I need to purchase a new a chrome coin Insert slot because perhaps it’s worn?
    Any advice would be helpful!

    make sure the coins are clean...I'm sure they are. With my machines, I have noticed that when i got them (I also had this on my High Grade Gamera) the coin slot itself was dirty down inside the chute. causing coins to slow and get stuck with the next coin. I was able to clean it out fairly well after removing it from the machine. I no longer had the problem. All works well, and the coins drop fast enough to keep there distance from each other.

    Thank you for your responce.
    The Issue is before the coins drop into the slot, Its like the slot may be just a tad oversized? Hum do not know for sure?
    See attached picture. Two coins in same slot.

    put your stack of tokens on the ramp,
    hold very lightly with thumb and move thumb back and forth fast with very little pressure on the tokens.

    Thank You for replying, That’s how I do use the speed loader. But the tokens still want to hang up at the coin slot entrance. I have other machines and use the coin slot ramp with no issues. I just seem to have this issue with Gamera.

    try using a cardboard emery board in the slot to remove any rough edges.

    OK, just checked out my high grade that is set up right behind me here, The slot is wide enough to accept only one coin at a time with about a 1/32 of extra space. Your slot looks the same, and sorry, but i only see one coin going down the slot, Coin number one is still riding on the speed load table. It may just be an issue of your coins being worn down and a little to thin. I use the Bi metal coins on my slot.

    I took the coin slot apart and washed it in warm water. Then used the cardboard. That did the trick. Coins now flow so much easier.
    Thank You again for all your help!
