I have given it another clean and it does seem better.. But it still seems to have a problem with 20ps.

But it does seem to be a lot better.. Is there anything that can be done about the 'sensitivity' of specific coins?

Thanks for your help

My worry about cleaning it is that there is a small ribon connector on the 'flap' which i am opening and I am convinced that its going to break.

Do you normally take the coin mech out to clean it, or do you do it in situ?

Jon

I bought it privately, so there is no warantee..

I can live with the problem, I just figured that someone here might be able to help.

Whats a "coin test"?

My HotStuff has started to reject more and more coins. It started being picky with 20ps and now 30% of £1 coins are rejected too.. If I keep putting them in, almost all will eventually work, but its starting to annoy me. I have followed some instructions and 'cleaned' the coin mech by pulling out th...

Phoenixleisure,

Sorry.. I didn't see your post.. I have just sent you a PM.

I was about to buy the one on Ebay, but I will hold out until I hear from you

Cheers

My Hot Stuff makes a strange whining buzz which changes pitch as more/less lights come on.. At first I thought that it was coming from the speaker and it is. But the noise also comes from the reel motors and the PSU. Interestingly, if I touch/move the reels, the noise changes (it gets louder). Is th...

Nope.. It just says "Refill".. if I stick £1, it just goes into the hopper. Everything is working fine.. For example, if I open the cash door and turn the key, it says for example 100x60 If I then close everything up, turn the key and stick in, for the sake of argument £3, when I open the ...

But thats my point.. On my machine, it just says "REFILL".

I tried it out in Weatherspoons last night and all of the machines showed something like "100p x 52".. But on my Hot Stuff, the only way I can get the balance is to turn the key when the lid or cash door is open!!

I have recently bought a Barcrest "HotStuff" and I am trying to work out the technical aspects of it. I noticed when open the door, it says "DOOR 70:00", but I couldn't work out what this ment. But I have now found out that the first number means 70%, which is too low for what I ...

I am the proud owner of "Hot Stuff" courtesy of 'Party Time', but it came without a Refill Key. I managed to get one today and turned it, expecting to see the contents of the hopper (which should be about £80), but all I get is the word "Refill". I was under the impression that I...

I have managed to find a Red Gaming MPU5 service Manual, but would really like the Barcrest version to go with my machine. Where can I get one? I would even be willing to buy one, but I sent a mail to Barcrest asking and it was ignored.. Does anyone know where I can get one? I have no particular nee...

Party Time. I have sent you a PM

I am looking for a one of the Hotstuff clones.. I don't mind which one, but I need it to be in very good condition, as I want it in my dining room.

Anyone know of one for sale?

Jon

Many thanks for that.. I will buy the King Kebab.. Its actually a better deal than I said, as he also has a spare MPU5 unit for it.. So, I could either keep that for spare or sell it on.. So, £100 is quite good.. I have looked at the pics and its actually in VERY good nick.. The only problem is that...

Thansk for the tip about 'King Kebab'. I think I have found a nice one for a good price. I was told to go for Hot Stuff/HellRaiser/Vamp It Up/All Fired Up.. I missed out on a 'Vamp It Up' and looked at a few 'Hot Stuffs' but they were a bit scruffy due to the 'matalic body work'. I have now been off...
