HI all

I have just had my coin mech returned after getting it sent off to be updated for new £1

I can no for the life of me get it back in..it has one connection on the back but when i plug this in it will not click back into place in the fruit machine (pac man power up barcrest mpu6) and as such alarm 10 code error pops up

Is there a nack to doing this?

Thanks

Chris

As titlw says, its estimated that 85% of vending machines will acccept the new £1.  I am not sure if that means that 85% have been converted to accepr it or it they will accep it anyway as its very similar!

Wouldnt it be lovely it tomorrow comes and we put a new coin into our machines and it just works!!...yea i know probably not but nice to dream :-)

Hi all

I have a barcrest pacman powerup that has has been working great for over a year until tonight.

I went to switch it on and it didnt boot up apart from the cashpot sign at the top..when i opened it up it was saying mpu battery low

Here is a video of it

Is this an easy fix? bare in mind i am useless at things like this and if it involves solder etc i know it will be out of my depth.

Thanks all for any help

Chris

HI

I have sent a few e-mails out to various companies as i am trying to get my fruit machine updated to accept the new £1 when it comes out later this month.

anyways this is the email i sent

Hi

I have a Pac Man Power up fruit machine by Barcrest that i use at home,

Obviously with the new pound coin imminent i am trying to get my coin mech updated to accept the new pound coin

Is this something you would be able to do? or ir not could you reccomend a place locally where i could get this done? (i am in stockton on tees)

The fruit machine is Barcrest pacman power up MPU 6 board and has a sr5e coin mech

Many Thanks for your help

And this is the reply i got from one

Hi, we can reprogram the coin acceptor for you but there is a chance that your machine will reject the new coin sets. We have had other Barcrest machines in the past when we updated them for the new 5p / 10p a few years ago and they just alarm when your turn them on as they don't recognise the new coin set. If you want to try, you can send us you SR5e and we can update it for £45 including return postage back to you. If it does not work we can revert it back for £10 (just to cover postage).

My question is, has anyone managed to update a varcrest machine to accept the new pound coin yet? (i know its not out but i am curious to know if anyone has a coin mech that is ready and fitted and not alarming out?)

Thanks all

Chris
