Coins are just going straight thru please

You probably need a new coin mech

any idea where i can get one

Could try posting an ad on this website, where no doubt someone will offer you a replacement, or try e.bay. I suspect on an old machine like this it's probably fitted with an ME126 or similar.
Sometimes, just un-plugging them, and re-connecting them can sort them out, but not very often.
If yours is fitted with a green or orange "block" on the side of the mech, (most are by now) this was the modification that allowed the acceptance of the newly issued £2 coin back then, fooloing it into thinking 4 x 50p coins had been inserted. I wouls suggest you make sure the replacemant has the same fitting, and then make sure all the pins and links are moved from the old mech to the replacement.

yeah it is a ME126 with the orange block. Initially the alarm was going off and I found a few stuck coins in mechanism but though alarm fault is cleared since then coins go straight thru. Have tried unplugging it to no avail..thanks for help.

i thought this was gonna be a plea for assistance from rafa benitez when i read the thread title.

sharp as a pin Lugsy but the boy will come good

found problem which was blown fuse on power supply which was probably caused when i cleared a coin jam on coin mechanism..electronic plug and socket on validator is not idiot proof and can fit in any of 3 positions..thanks for all who posted
