Bellfruit Cops n Robbers Fruity, just bought this machine and having problems with the coins, it has stopped accepting 10p's the 50's go into one of the £1 tubes instead of down the bottom and the 20's are going into the £1 tube. Please can anyone help it is driving me crazy.

Do I need a new part or is it something else i could fix?

I have changed the tubes around as they were the wrong way round according to the handbook.

Maybe a faulty coin mech or the routing plug on the mech has come loose/out.

One of the engineers i'm sure will sort you out soon.

Hi These are pics attached of the 17 pin Mars Validator of which only 15 are connected the empty ones are plug no. 17 and no. 1. All 15 are connected to the MPU.

It only has one input to the Mars Validator (17 pin one) Not like new coin mechs.

TUBES HAVE SENSORS BUT THE WIRES ARE BROKEN??

From the photo's it looks like you are missing the routing plug,
should plug in near the screw on the left (if you rotate pic 2 so the mech is upright)

HI MATE GREAT SPOT
thanks for that just plugged my spare coins con route plug in and seems to be directing traffic quite well the only slight problem now is that the 20ps are going into £1 overflow tube, unfortunate as the machine pays out in 20 and £1 coins only any ideas how to rectify this??

Just when i thought i had it aswell

As mentioned it looks like you need to sort out the routing plug.

Here is the manual which Vinny over at the MPU Mecca uploaded a while ago which should help you out:)

In the manual it mentions coin a,b etc. On your mech it looks like coin a=£1, b=50p, c=20p and d=10p.

It's best to work it out on paper first before moving all the wires around. Might be worth writing down the original configuration of your spare plug.

Also have a really good look in the machine, chances are the plug is in there somewhere:)

If you get stuck, upload a photo of the tubes with the mech in place then someone can work out which wire should go where:)

speaking of Cops N Robbers Our Club has a problem with Club Cops N Robbers Gold it went heywire so we switched it off and switched it back on again and now thereis no power what do you think the problem is?

[flashash]

have you tried the fuses at the bottom there should be a few there where the power plugs in or if not it could be a faulty power unit.
hope this helps

anyone have any ideas where to get some new routing plug wire ends that plug into the route block??

[LEEHAM]

I've got some of those routing plug wires and a spare plug.

Once I know which coin you want to come out of which exit, I should be able to work out which pins need connecting together.

I think I may have a pin out of the 18 way plug- I'll have a look today:)

A photo of the tubes with the mech in place would be great:)
