Does anyone own a metal typer? I've had this for a few years and I could never get it to work. The left arm is jammed and there were two tokens jammed on top of each other. I popped them out but the stamping arm will not engage the hammer. I'm looking for an internal video so I can figure out what's wrong. Nothing on Youtube. Manuals are no help. This is not my machine. This was on the net. This one is in excellent condition, mines not as nice.
Thanks,
Larry.

Thanks. I have that manual and a few others that were on the web. What I really would like to see is a video of the insides working.
I tried to remove the front plate, but it seems that the sides over lap them. There has to be an easier way of seeing the innards.

Yes, the back door comes off and there is a small front door too that can be removed. I just can't see what I need to see. That's why I tried to remove the front plate. It looks like there is a large rod that needs to slide over to the right. I'm guessing this because the rod has a point and there is a metal plate with a hole. My guess is that it engages this plate through the hole and that's what will allow this to move the rest of it. Too hard to see it with my eyes.  I will have to examine it further. |

I remember those machines.
I take a hi-res macro photo of things to compensate for my failing eyes, which can't see as well anymore. It helps immensely in some situation,
Is the left arm mechanics a mirror image of the right?
About all the help I can give Larry - sorry! Good luck!

No the left side raises a hammer and stamps the coin. The right side dispenses the coin. I figure there should be three steps. Step one the coin loads, step two the coin is stamped, and step three the coin is dispensed. I'm trying to figure out step one how the coin loads. Does it load after the coin is dispensed or does it load when the hammer is engaged? The 25c used to run the machine just energizes a solenoid which releases a lock on the left arm allowing the left arm to engage the hammer. Otherwise the left arm just moves back and forth with no resistance. I can get the left arm engaged but the mechanical parts are not moving. I didn't work on it this weekend. Maybe next weekend I will get into it more. A video is what I need to see what part moves what. Then I can figure out the sequence.
I use the phone in my camera to see behind corners. I just wish the front would've come off without dismantling the sides.

Does it eject the tokens when you pull the right lever? I think that action may be what loads the next token for stamping

Yes, I believe so. I know the right arm ejects the finished token. My guess is that the right arm ejects the old token, feeds the new, and locks out the left handle. But when I load the tokens into their chutes and pull the right arm, nothing loads.

There's a metal slide that should allow the next disc to drop down after ejecting the stamped one, it is labeled D in the photo. This view is looking from the top down, you can see the back side of the slide when looking in from the back of the machine, just behind the token hopper. Is the slide moving freely and allowing the token to drop in? There is an adjustment screw on the front, B, that should allow the slide to be moved forward or back.

I found some gizmo jammed on the bottom. Pushed with screwdriver and the spring/dog ear released. It was part of the coin eject arm. The slide was half way. Couldn't tell with the columns in the way but when the piece reset, the slide mech popped out. It was jammed when I got it from two coins but the arm would not release until that jammed piece popped. I tried a few and failed and the fourth one seemed to work. Pretty cool.
I thought every coin in the column would be used before the columns would rotate, but the columns rotate after each release of the coin.

That might be the best response to getting a problem fixed I have seen! Glad you got it working, seems like a cool machine.

Haha took me a minute to realize what you did with the coin.  Glad to hear it's fixed. |
