Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
In my last post I also forgot to say that I also have a Lord Sega that is missing the 1p coin mechanism - anybody know where I could acquire one? The machine is otherwise working so it would be cool to complete it.

Re: I forgot to ask about coin mechs - Dooh!
Once again, photos of the machine please and the mech showing what's missing.
Re: I forgot to ask about coin mechs - Dooh!
I have one of those somewhere, long time since I have seen it though!
Re: I forgot to ask about coin mechs - Dooh!
They are standard type used till today from the 60's in other machines as well like pinballs. Called the S10.
If you do a search on eBay for S10 mechanism, lots will come up, you need to check the coinage though as most don't list. Difficult to modify coinage without correct weightage levers and aperture parts.
Do not pay more than a fiver for one..
I have loads somewhere, just not sure I can easily get to quickly to see if I have a 1p one

Loads of old 10p S10 mechs about, 1p S10 mechs quite scarce I think.

Still need a 1 p S10 Mechanism.
Post merged - Site Admin.
Hi Folks, I got a 1p mech for me Lord Sega from a well known supplier in the north of this pleasant land of ours but it doesn't work and I can't get the guy to do anything about it. So I still need one - does anybody have one I can buy? I know there is one on the bay of e at the moment but I don't really want to pay nearly 30 quid with postage for one. I would be very grateful to anybody that can help here as I really want the machine running.
1/2er.

Re: Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
What is wrong with the one you got?
I assume the issue is not related to pennies getting stuck, I am sure you are already aware these have magnets in and post 87 pennies are steel so will not pass through. Of course might not be the issue but thought I would state obvious.
Not going to commit to being able to help and although I have a few kicking around, I have no idea where they are which is becoming a common problem these days

Re: Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
There is something strange that happens and it must be to do with the Flux of The Earth .....
It has been noted before that putting a request on here can result in one suddenly appearing on eBay
"treefrog" talks utter sense, tell us why the one you got doesn't work.

Re: Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
Thanks for the replies guys. Most coins are dropping through the first part of the mech - the bit with the weight on the thing that is supposed to rock and allow the coin past the magnet. I know about coins being steel after a certain date so I have a large load of pre magnetic ones that I use. The coins that find their way past the magnet get rejected by the separator. I have tried adjusting it but just can't get them to bounce down the accept path. It's really frustrating, especially as the guy won't respond to voice or email messages. It's the last thing I need to do on the machine so any help would be very much appreciated.

Re: Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
Make sure the coin mech is completely clean. The cradle should be taken off by removing the circlip, and the pivot pin cleaned. Also clean the cradle pivot hole by forcing a matchstick into it and twisting. Reassemble and test.

Re: Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
Thanks for the advice but I don't really want to take it apart and give the bloke I bought it off a reason to not do anything about it. Having paid nearly 20 quid with postage I think he should sort it out, I don't want him to accuse me of breaking it. Just to be clear, the coin is not sticking, it is going straight through and down the reject path. I want to get the thing sorted without having to wait for this person to decide to respond to my various messages, hence trying to source one from a more reliable place.

Re: Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
The bit that swings out when you reject a coin manually, IIRC has a small adjustment screw so you can get the clearance spot on.
Re: Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
These mechs are very reliable when working with the correct coin. Are you sure it started out as a 1p mech?
Hi having troubles with 1p s10 coin mech out of a action line
Hi,
I’ve bought a Bell Fruit action line machine. It has an s10 coin mech with the cradle but the cradle seems to get stuck and doesn't send the penny down. Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Re: Still need a 1p S10 Mechanism
The S10 Coin Mech Instruction Manual here in Resources explains everything you need to know.
The good thing with an S10 is that you can see every movement of the coin as it passes through the mech and see where it's getting stuck and which bit needs slight adjustment. The bad thing is all of the variations of the new penny and it being such a small coin to handle, to the point that many mechs in Action Lines on 1p coin end up with a modified straight chute through the mech bypassing the cradle altogether.
