Help with Jennings "Today" Slot Machine
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2018 4:21 pm
Hi all,
I am hoping to find someone who has some knowledge about about a Jennings "Today" Vendor Slot Machine.
Purchased a Jennings "Today" Slot Machine about two months ago. I have spent about 200 hours restoring the machine and have everything working except the correct operations with the tokens. Originally it was set up to play with a nickel, which allowed you to play the machine and get a roll of mints. When you won, you would get paid with tokens. These tokens could be used to play the machine but you would not dispense a roll of mints. Instructions indicate that the machine knows the difference between a nickel and a token due to the hole in the token. These instructions further indicate that the plunger that detects a coin should pass through the hole in the token. If it does not pass through the hole, the vending mechanism would be tripped the same as on a nickel and a roll of mints dispensed.
The problem I am having is that if I adjust the plunger to go through the hole in the token, the machine doesn't realize that a token is there and you can't pull the handle. Hopefully, someone can tell me where I'm going wrong. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards, Robert
