Hi Guys-- I just recently purchased an RFM that I'm in love with. I never really pay any attention to coin mechs, but since my 3 year old is interested in these things now and enjoys putting quarters in the slot so that he can "buy" a game and hear the noise that it makes when it registers a credit, I noticed that mine doesn't seem to be working. I put a quarter in and nothing. I manually operated the switch at the bottom of the coin mech and still nothing. I've included a photo and I would appreciate if anyone sees anything amiss that they could let me know. It lights up no problem, by the way. I was wondering if the two connections not connected to anything next to the menu buttons have anything to do with it.

Also, it appears that the coin mechs have been updated to newer Happ mechs. The coin takers on the outside look like Stern ones and there is a sticker with an 05 manufacture date.

I really appreciate any direction that I may be given.

Here is where you go into switch edge test and flip each one with your finger and see if they work.

If not start investigating. Easy to have a broken wire common to both of them killing them. Wires run from switches through coin door harness to a board inside.

Pretty easy to check continuity with a meter if need be to find a broken wire.
