Ss bay accept credit cards but coins pass right through. Help...

[MDrost1]

I have a ss bay that accepts credit card fine but when I try to use coins, the coins pass trough without pulsing the timer. I reprogrammed the mutlitron to no avail. Any ideas?

Try replacing the coin acceptor and see if that solves the problem

If this is the same multitron you have, I would try programming it again. They are a little finiky in their programming procedure.

+1.
also: gate stuck? loose wire? coin/something stuck in acceptor? acceptor in need of overhaul/repair?

You guys are great! This thing is in need of an overhaul. Thanks!

Once upon a time we tried the Multitron coin acceptors. They have all gone into the landfill, we had nothing but problems with them. I’d suggest you slowly replace them with the Microcoin or MA-800.

Good advice. Which works best for crazy climate changes?

MicroCoin QL gets my vote. Mine have been nearly flawless...I still have several of the early S5 versions that keep chugging along.
