I got a Safecracker yesterday & it has 3 error msgs. & credit dot , had to have it shipped so wondering if perhaps it getting jostled around could have caused this issue but IDK anyhow all three errors have to do with the token mech. 1st one says "check token tube for jam or empty" 2nd. one "check left token mech." and 3rd. one "check right token mech." ///// I looked at the mechs. & tube & cant find anything obvious that could be wrong , yes it has some coins in it....... has anyone else ever seen this or have any pointers as to what I should be checking ??

Thanks gweempose for the reply... I just ran the tube test & no coin came out

also I have looked very carefully at all the dispenser mechs & they work fine when the coil rod is moved manually on either side to dispense a coin from the tube

Thanks schudel5 I ran the switch edge test & I looked through the test menu in diagnostics & I cannot find a coil test of any type when I scroll through all of them ?? I do not have a manual for the game but looked at the operators manual pdf file xmission index & I don't see a coil test listed under the test menu there either? when I run the token test & it tells me to push enter to dispense token ... nothing happens

I think perhaps something came unplugged somewhere but I have yet to find anything

Ok Thanks Schudel I did not know the door/switches had to be closed , I will be checking again when I get home from work

Fixed!!! Thanks again to Gweempose & Schudel for weighing in here ... as far as I can discern a token came loose during shipping as I did find one stuck behind a drop target upon delivery & I think perhaps a switch in token dispenser assy. may have been part way open or closed when I first turned game on anyways I had to run the Token test (with coin door buttons depressed) twice to clear both sides & now its working as it should ... confirmed token release during game play & no more error messages or credit dot <3 Pinside

Everyone should turn on their safe cracker today to hear the Easter egg birthday message that plays only on October 24 ... I discovered it by accident myself today

had a very similar issue with mine after shipping/arrival ... glad to hear you got it fixed ... just finished playing a few games on mine minutes ago

Mine arrived yesterday & while am very happy to get them I must admit I am a bit nervous about installing these .... I sure hope my playfield isn't warped 1/2 inch or more as I cant imagine me removing the playfield to install these ..... any recommendation on what type of clamp you used ? a carpenter's type I assume ? .... don't suppose anyone has made a video of the installation???

Big Thanks to Sonic!! providing me with over the phone advice , & tips that helped me get these installed over the weekend my game had quite a bit of warpage more than most perhaps nevertheless was able to get them clamped down & installed Very Pleased ...Great product! Thanks also to Paul Drabik for getting them made

I'm sure it will play different/better but I haven't put playfield down as yet because now waiting for a slingshot linkage that I noticed was broke while under there to arrive (later next week)& probably ok to just let it stand up straight for a few days but I will report back here after I put some time on it

Yeah 1" measured on the left side a lot less on right side ... took 4 clamps to get left side down & straight left it for several hours before screwing it down then left clamps on overnight & installed right side the next morning

Just a reminder....... mark October 24 as a day to turn on your Safe Cracker for the Easter egg that is only coded for that day

mine did this same thing too when I got it , I think moving this game , head down etc.. can cause switch errors for the coin mech. if you go back a few pages you can find my posts & how it was remedied , basically run it through switch test WITH COIN DOOR CLOSED or switch depressed , do that a couple of times & see if it doesn't clear

& after you hear the coin register you then push start & nothing happens ??

does you coin door look like this ?

Just a couple ideas. A graphic of a giant Spring or plunger mechanism? , A cannon ?

Just had another idea but would require an artist. The mechanical robot guard dog , a view from above as if he is looking down that lane ready to pounce

Cant post picture now

I have a friend looking for a set of the Paul Drabik play field support rails if anyone has a lead. His play field needs them desperately.
