For a start, I would ensue that all of the tubes, assuming there's more than one, are filled with sufficient coins to cover the sensors. Check that all of the solenoids are actually connected, as a common failing is the breaking off of the connectors through metal fatigue after years of use. Have you tried getting the solenoids to pulse it test mode ?
I know this isn't very specific, but you've not given much to go on at the moment. Hope this helps somewhat.

hi
dubble check the fuses on the power supply. If thats dosent work i would trace the wiring back and check any plugs/conections that may be loose. Do the pay tubes slide out of the machine/ if they do there will be a plug just behind them. Failing that i would say it was your main board. i had this problem on an old scorpion 2 bfm machine and it turned out to be the scorp...hope this help....Liam

hi yes i have checked all that it seems fine i was wondering could it be my power supply unit because certain things are run through dif fuses could a section of it be down just a thought

Could be...yes
The fuse for the pay out solonoids is 50V 10A

i think u might be correct about the board because everything else looks fine
thats going to cost ,if i get one do i have to change any thing on the main board
