Change machine
Hi everyone,
I bought this old change machine and got it working but it pays 2p coins out at the moment. I want it to work paying 10ps but at present you get 50x10p for £1. Does anyone know if it can be adjusted and what the 3 banks of switches are for on the pcb?

Re: Change machine
Hi, thanks for reply. I tried that but had no reply. Don't think they really bothered unless you spend thousands??

Re: Change machine
Just make a note of how the dip switches are currently set and then start experimenting. Doesn't take long to figure out the options. Back in the '80s and '90s I had to do the same many times with old video game boards that didn't come with paperwork.

Re: Change machine
Yes that's who I emailed. It has a Eurocoin plate on it with s/no but still can't find anything.
Hi, I have played with the switches but nothing seems to change. It takes the old pound and 10p so I'm guessing it's late '80s to early '90s.

Re: Change machine
That is a good point my friend. I will try that. Although with so many I doubt it possible to hit the correct sequence.

Re: Change machine
Tried what you suggested and with a bit of playing, maths and pen and paper, I now have it working correctly. Many thanks
