Bulletin

 

 

Issue:

 

Some MoD BoX jukeboxes were built with the coin acceptor installed 
incorrectly. 

Games affected:

 

Only MoD BoX jukeboxes are affected. 

Symptoms:

 

If the coin acceptor is installed incorrectly, coin jams may occur. 

Solution:  

If your MoD BoX is experiencing coin jams, follow the instructions below 
to check the seating of the coin mech. 

1.  Unlock and open the jukebox door and press the 

SERVICE

 button on the communications 

controller to enter Service Mode. 

2. Touch 

Shutdown Jukebox

 and confirm that you want to shut it down.  When the computer 

system has turned itself off, turn the power switch OFF. 

3.  Using Figures 1 and 2 below, check to see if the pin on the coin mech is properly inserted 

through the hole in the metal bracket and then through the hole in the door boss.  If the pin on the 
coin mech is visible as shown in Figure 1, loosen the 3 screws securing the coin mech assembly 
to the door. 

4.  Seat the top pin on the coin acceptor into the hole in the metal bracket and then through the hole 

in the door boss.  Seat the bottom pin on the coin mech into the hole in the door boss. 

5.  Make sure that the coin acceptor is sitting flat against the metal bracket, which is sitting flat 

against the door boss (see Figure 2). 

6.  While applying some pressure to hold the coin mech assembly in place, retighten the 3 screws 

securing the coin mech assembly. 

7.  Make sure that the coin acceptor is flush to the coin chute guide and door.
