My Fire Queen has worked flawlessly for a long time. Yesterday it stopped adding credits when coins are inserted. I do have a switch to make it free play, so it isn’t a huge issue. It works fine, except for the coin issue.

When a coin is inserted, the motor spins a third of a rotation and the “W” relay activates. Nothing else happens. I have a manual and schematics, but the description in the manual says the “S” relay is supposed to activate. It isn’t moving.

It wouldn’t be a huge deal, but I donate its use during car shows to collect money for local charities. I like to have the coin operation working.

Any ideas? Or does anyone have a Fire Queen that can tell me what relays should be firing?

Thanks!!

Your schematic looks identical.

I've reseated the coin door jones plug several times, and checked the coin switches.

The replay button works correctly.

I'm starting to wonder if it's one of the other jones plugs...

Thanks! I’ll give that a try this week.

I did that. The ohmmeter drops to pretty much 0

Weird thing is, the W relay is activated by the coin switch. Not the S

Thank you Rolf. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Finally got around to looking at it. Rolf nailed it. One of the switches on 1A was out of line and not making contact.

Thanks Rolf and Mark for the responses!
