hi guys,
i know nothing about these, zero, nada.
i bought one - a Return of the Count by Mazooma - and put it in the corner of the room, looking nice, then plugged it in. lights came on, a welcome message, and it gave a message about wanting to be filled. fair enough, so turned my attention to the bunch of keys, saw 3 keyholes, and decided to try to locate all the bits and bobs.
the first keyhole doesn't open anything, it just turns to allow refilling, and show audits. the second keyhole allows you to slide a sort of lock-down-bar so you can open up the top of the machine to see reels etc. the third keyhole lets you open the bottom half of the machine, where the money goes (behind another locked door). i had a look around, took the cash hoppers out, put them back, locked up behind me as i left the building.
the damn machine now keeps on making a loud shrill screaming noise, and telling me 'alarm 48, on/off' and 'door unlocked'. i have to presume it means the bottom half of the machine, right? there's a door-closed switch that seems functional, and behind the cash hopper door there is another switch that i don't know what it does.
a bit of googling told me a couple of things - it might be just from lots of turning on and off, and i may just need to wait for it to sort itself out. but man, it screams really loud and sounds like someone being murdered! someone else suggested it might be a battery issue, and someone else said a power supply may be responsible.
anyone here who knows fruit machines and is willing to help?
thankyou
