Speed Loading

[Tulsa]

Speed loading - the art of loading your slot with as many tokens as possible as quickly as possible. Some machine have larger token slots to allow more to be put into at a time but are they accepting the tokens as quickly as others?

What manufacturer's machine speed loads the best for you?

[Tony Junior]

Yamasa, no kidding.

[slotter]

Conti 4x by Aruze for me.

Seems to be my Firedrift... (voted Sammy, not that I have much experience...)

[Tony Junior]

Sammy loads well too, but I can't vote twice.

Uh...HUH!?
Is that like holding 10 or 15 tokens up to the slot & then gently pushing as you wiggle your thumb so they drop 1 @ a time!?
You actually pay attention to that? Why?
What am I missing here???

The quicker you get it loaded back up, the quicker you are back to play. Mike : )

You're still too new doo...

The credit mod from Autoslot.. I know... That doesn't count.. Of the three manufacturers I have (Eleco- Pioneer and Net) I like the Eleco best.

I feel I should argue with Si7. It's not Sammy, it's the Aruze/Eleco etc. It's not that I WANT to argue with him, I just like it when he posts a reply...

[luckydog]

the slowest one I have is a Net, only about 6 tokens at a time, baltec is the next slowest.

any machine with a large ramp usually loads very fast.

For me, it's my IGT's. They don't hold a lot of tokens at once but boy do they fly into the chute.

I felt kinda dorky speed-loading my machines while they're turned off, but I like the lip on the token slot of my Elecos (Babel and Outlaw). The lip prevents tokens from spilling onto the ground. Although I think it's been mentioned on other posts, Robert from PachisloUSA told me that a nail emory board can be used for cleaning out any corrosion from the coin slot. It works!

The quicker you get it loaded back up, the quicker you are back to play. Mike : )

Uh, ok! And the quicker I finish mowing the lawn, the quicker I can get back to play too. So?
Im having trouble grasping that it matters how many nano seconds it takes for a machine to understand the coin has dropped & to register it.
In the grand scheme of things, what does it matter?
Somebody larn me sumpin'!?

[minnesotabrad]

Well the worst I have is my IGT machine. It is one of the things I dislike about IGT machines.

I thought I was the only one wanting to Speed Load, My Sinbad Adventure was bad about accepting only perfect tokens and each token had to be just the right size to work.

I took out the coin feeder slot, if you turn it over you will see that the coin slot has been designed in a (V) but the chromed back side that sticks up from the machine is flat. The coin slot on most machines are wider on the top and narrows thin as the coin exits the bottom.
From the bottom use a thin flat fine file to inlarge the lower exit side of the coin slot, do not file the back side of the V that is flat and chrome plated. Take a little metal off at a time and keep checking by feeding tokens and let them drop in your hand. Use fine sand paper after using file. This will increase the speed that tokens can be feed and also accept those little thinker tokens.

Definately eleco you cant get about 20 tokens onto the ramp and push them in quick

[vgc]

doodude, you must have all easy loading machines. i have some that almost accept 2 tokens at a time, causing a jam, and are horrible to load and others I can load 20 in a couple seconds. Not really a matter of Nanoseconds. And yes the quicker you mow your lawn the quicker you can get to doing anything, but will it look as nice ? Why would you want to take longer to do something that gets the exact same results ? Mike : )

[logicprobe]

Some people just like to get loaded quicker than others, that's all.

[doodude]

Ok, Im seeing where youre going with this. I think!?
Yeah, Ive got 2 machines that will jam cuz the slots too large & the coins try to go 2 at a time.

"Why would you want to take longer to do something that gets the exact same results ?" Mike : )

But I gotta ask ya, Grasshopper, looking at the big picture, other than being a little annoying having to correct the coin jam, whats the rush?

Maybe Ive just been too busy lately & had too much going on around me.
I havent really played anyone of the slots in awhile except King Camel. And thats been limited.
I need to tune out the world & become one with the Pachislo.
Ommmmmmmmmmm...
