    Default How do you dump the hopper contents?

    Hi all,

    I am trying to empty the hoppers on my Pachislo machines. I have removed most of the tokens by hand, but there are still a few in the hopper - is there an easy way to dump the remainder of the contents?

    I need to do this for the following machines:
    Popeye
    Sindbad adventure
    Super Black Jack.

    Any advice much appreciated!

    Cheers,

    Mark

    some machines have a dump switch or just reach in and turn the token dispenser wheel by hand, it will spit out the left over tokens.

    Another idea if you don't have a button to automatically dump them:

    Open the door, put a cup below where the tokens normally fall into the hopper, put some tokens into the machine, and then hit the cash out button.

    Dont all machines have the ability to take the hopper out?

    Too many complicated replies to this problem.

    Simply let NASA launch the machine on the next shuttle flight and when it reaches zero gravity all of the tokens will float out!
