Is the DCE 'Y' chute above the coin mech wired up? If so the sensors possibly either want cleaning or may be faulty.

yeh all wired up i wil try cleaning it again is the part to give a good clean the section that is on a spring which you can pull back theres a small silver plate under there

i do have a spare one brought second hand which also does not work either 2 faulty / dirty units or could be another fault

and advice on best spots to look ?

thanks

The DCE 'Y' chute is clipped in position just behind the coin slots, above and seperate from the coin mech.After insertion of coins they roll down this chute and if wired up pass a sensor before dropping into the coin mech,If this sensor is wired and as said dirty or faulty then that will cause a coin mech to stop working.
The part you are cleaning is the coin mech to which the 'Y' chute is NOT attached.

im a fruity tech-----do you know that little silver thing you talk about---sometimes i remove this and the mech works fine--try it ,it will not harm it

i have found how to it looks like put the machine into test mode by holding in the red button on the main board to flick through lamps reels etc

it comes up on one stage of it saying 7.1 edc/rs232 when i hit collect button it says RX ERROR

would this have anything to do with coin reader not working
