Old Hamilton Unit

[JimmyFetner]

Hi, Can someone please advise me concerning this unit? I cannot find a model or serial number. I know it is old and it started getting quarters stuck in the area I marked. I tried making adjustments but the problem kept occuring. I sent it to Hamilton but they sent it back saying it is too old. I purchased a new one but I would really like to repair this one so that I have a back up unit. Does anyone know of an old retired technician who does this on the side or a carwash owner who does his own repairs or maybe just know of an easy fix? Like I said, it isn't my primary unit but man I sure would liek to have a backup. Thanks for the help and please don't laugh too hard when you see these photos!View attachment 9939

You’re most likely wasting your time. As I posted in your other thread, this relic has been discontinued so long, you will be hard pressed to find anything to repair it with.

We discontinued the last one of those we had in 2007, they were dinosaurs then and were becoming very hard to get any parts for.

I'm an old changer technician, but I'm not retired yet. Those were called a "Game Plan" Hopper. They went out of production around 1995. There are no parts available anymore to repair them. The best thing you can do is to dump the Game plan hopper and replace it with a square stainless steel Hopper, you'll have to replace the game plan Hopper harnessing, it's not compatible with the stainless steel Hopper. You might also have to change the software in the controller depending on what controller your using.
