cleaning sensortron

[txheat]

couple of sensortron mech. is getting coin jammed lately. Coins are flawless (without bents nor sticky). Once i clear everything and drop the coin that got jam, it goes through fine. How do we fix this? How do we clean them?

Here a link to Ginsan’s web site http://www.ginsan.com/techspecs/tg-283 - Sensorton with Cleaning Instructions.pdf

We’ve been tossing the Sensorton’s and replacing them with Parker Slugbuster P-47 http://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-1216-slugbuster-i-old-style-quarters-only.aspx The problem with the sensortons are they can be fooled into starting with a magnet.

wow, nice to know. So we need only replace the insert or does it have to use their housing?

This is not true anymore. Any units produced since early 2008 have a magnet proof output.

The inserts and frames are pretty standard. You can put an IDX, a Sensortron, a Slugbuster or a coin mech all in the same frames.

Dan that’s all well and good. But how many hundreds or thousands of Sensortrons coin acceptors where made with Ginsan knowing that there was a problem and they continued to make them. Has Ginsan ever offered to swap out the Sensortrons that can be manipulated with a magnet for the newer model that can’t be manipulated.

I've sent older ones in that could be fooled by a magnet and for $35 Ginsan modified them to the magnet proof version.

The Slugbuster frame is slightly different from the Sensortron frame. I'd use the Slugbuster frame or housing
