Title: coin mech
Post by: regor on August 17, 2008, 05:15:59 pm
Hi I have a mars TRC 6000 coin mechanism that just started dumping all the coins to the return. I took it apart, cleaned, and checked connections still nothing. Dollors still work and it will give 50 cent change. Any ideas? regor   :darn:

You may have stuck inventory switch, remove the mech & try to disconnect the wires going to the switch. then plug it back into the machine. if no-go, then you may have a circut-board power supply issue affecting the logic circut.

I assume you mean any coins you put into it are being rejected right? If that is the case the coin mech may need to be tuned. I do have the instructions for tuning but unfortunately they are on my other computer that isn't functioning correctly right now  :censored:. I will have to wait until my new one arrives before I can hook the old hard drive up to the new computer to hopefully get everything off of it  :hopefull:. Maybe someone else here has access to them.

If it's the electronic MARS / MEI coinmech that needs tuning, you can go to the MARS/MEI website & download the tuning instructions too.  google MARS Coinmech & look for M.E.I. ( this is the real name of the MARS coinmech company)
