Sorry for so many questions! My machine is under paying out usually buy a few quid, I've had the hopper get jammed when dumping out the coins and had to move the coins around to clear it. Is this common...can I service it? Motor seems to spin ok and I can't see any debris or such. What's likely to go wrong with it?
Cheers

You can unclip the top plastic bowl part from the base, this frees the disk and motor unit from in between. You can clean inside with furniture polish - spray it onto a rag though, not into the workings!

Hi mate did what you said, found a stray £1 jamming the 10p hopper...may do it if it try's to pay in 10p's? I hovered and cleaned them out added some Polish then really lightly sprayed 10 quid with wd and fed them in direct into the hopper and dumped it a few times and that's sorted it out. Cheers.
When it's empty it says H 350 F 000...is the H 350 defo right? Is that just saying the hopper size? Nearly out of questions mate!

Does it have a note acceptor?

[Twostroker]

No its just a coin mech, £1 and 10p hoppers. Has had a note accepted fitted at some point in its life as it has recorded 'notes in'. I'm not sure what h350 means. I thought it should read h000f045?

H is for hopper (current) so 000 will mean its empty. F will be capacity, so 350 will mean it will take 350 to be 'full'. 350 hoppers usually have note acceptor, but I had a machine without a note acceptor and said you 'insert coins or notes to play' in attract mode, but a dip switch sorted that out. You could put your own amount in, say £100 and just select 'hoppers filled/hopper topped up' so the machine is filled and backs.

 

reading what you have put, I'm presuming you have a Bellfruit type machine

no H is the capacity and F is the float level

[Twostroker]

Hi thanks that would make sense. I found the 10p hopper level display and that read H25f00 which made me think it must be capacity.

I was playing an emulator the H level seemed to be going up...think that's why mine was confusing me. Guess it reads a different way on each type of machine.

Thanks for all the help now I'm getting my head round the basics. I'll look at the metering next

Cheers

Yes I got it the wrong way round, sorry
