Bay timing issue

[Steve B.]

Anyone have suggestions, I have a self serve bay that takes (6) quarters to start, but when an additional quarter is inserted it sends (6) more pulses. I have tried switching the face plate and the timer with a bay that is working correctly with no luck. Would love any further suggestions. Thanks.

What type of timer is it could you have some kind of bonus time turned on?

As Jeff said what make & model timer is it. Could be that the timer is programed for Bonus Time

Using a GS-75, which doesn't have bonus time feature, and a sensotron.

If the problem gose with the door to another bay with a different timer i would start with replacing the sensotron.

That's my problem, faceplate works fine in other bay, I have also switched out timer from a bay that is operating correctly. There's something just in this bay. Is there any way that the last coin alert box would do this? Or something else could short the signal? It truly has me baffled.

If you have a spare wire in the cable between the bay and equipment room, use it to swap out the coin switch wire (red/green in Ginsan wiring). If that wire is somehow shorting to the load you can see multiple pulses when a coin drops because you would be putting AC directly into the coin input.
