    Default stuck tokens

    I own 2 machines, issue of tokens getting stuck in one of them.
    aristocrat, re-glassed kyojin no hoshi, out of "300" tokens ,about 30 ish get stuck. push the return button they go in or pass back out. what should I look for ? seem to be hung up on something.
    yes , the full area has been cleaned by me.
    might it be bent tokens , ,weight less , ???
    these were mixed up with the other machine's tokens recently (new machine) AND no issues on that machine.
    just to cheap to toss out 30 + tokens. this issue has always been present since owning it
    thank you in advance. jeff H

    They may have steel in those 30 or so tokens.
    They may be getting caught by a magnet. 6302_6557190833_52a5f0df85_1.jpg On the back of the coin mechanism is a screw that holds this magnet in. Just unscrew it and pull it out. 6302_6557191261_ee1a202b9d_1.jpg 6302_6557192119_7d3da32a84_1.jpg One end has a magnet on it and the other doesn't. So you could just leave it out or re-insert it with the non-magnet end. 6302_6557191647_32c6db0898_1.jpg This is just one example of one of my coin mechanism. Differant brands of machines have different coin mechanism's but if they got stuck I just looked for that magnet and removed it and the problem was solved.

    1st, thanks again Wayne-Ooo , solved most of the problem But still have a few that got stuck , 1 metal colored one , 1 brass colored ,& 1 bi-metal one. rest = no issues.
    2d) naha 13 , currently Peoria... might change due to the job front.
    found one of these machines a few years back for my mother .did not fully realize it was a re-glassed machine. LAS Vegas decals . any how runs well ect. always had this issue.
    then found one a few weeks ago at a 2d hand store = complete ,keys ,manual,tokens , ect. I made sure it had the key & actually ran. it did ,I bought it.
    never did much research on them before but, paying attention now.
    really have an interest in re working the art on one , ect., ect. = yes have read some of the treads on that.
    need to see what other issues either of these might have & fix them ,via this forum.
    thanks gents. jeff h.

    I have 6 or 7 that just don't work in my machines so they went into the odd things box, sometimes they just will not work in some brands of machine. (I have two tokens that are odd, one only works in the Eva while the other only works in the other machine)
