Ive searched but cant find a definative answer.

I've goe a Barcrest Big Cheese displaying the error

"61-91" "cash in meter"

What can i do to resolve the problem and if i need to replace a part which one is it likely to me

[skabaz]

is this a tube based machine or a hopper based machine?

if tube based you need a replacement cash in mechanical 12v meter.
if hopper based then you need an electronic meter (which i can supply)


can you upload a photo.

Hello, thanks for the quick reply.

I only got the machine tuesday off my local landlord, but when i went to pick it up he wasnt in so id didnt get the keys. I will be getting them next week when i go. Ill take a photo and pm you with it when i get it.

When i was talking to him about it he reckoned it was some digital display that wasnt working but ill take pictures and let you know as soon as i get it opened up.

ok
sounds like an electronic meter fault.

pm me when you get the keys and i can sort you out.

That's a bit of a sweeping statement, there are plenty of hopper payout machines that use mechanical meters!
(But yes it does sound like an electronic meter fault from the description.)

mainly maygays used mechanicals for ages but i think bellfruit and barcrest used electronics from day one of the hopper payouts.

Pretty much yep.

I spend too much time in bloody Maygay machines...

[bengildea]

So when i get the keys what pictures will help identify what i have?

[aaamusements]

Mechanical meters have a display that looks a bit like the odometer in a car speedo. They have two wires connecting them. There is usually a row of 2 or more meters.
Electronic meters have an lcd display like in a calculator, they are connected with a plug in the back and have more than 2 wires.

Well yes...
To be honest battery leakage killed most M1 boards, and now it has started on Epoch.
(Not that too many people will be sorry about that.)
