Sorry about duplicating your question, my computer just did a very biazzre thing; anyway- check the outboard payout counter wipers to make sure they are not hitting on the zero stop switch metal block. It is a little square block that holds the zero stop rubber bumper. If it is hitting on a large pay, tighten the screw on the spiral cam to bring the wipers in (but don't tighten too much) also your Spring may need adjusting on your rachet (the white round piece having 100 teeth), if it too tight, the hopper will run away, if it is too loose, it won't pay at all. You might want to back it off just a turn (the spring) and see what happens. 1st, maually step up your payout counter 100 times and see if the wiper arms are hitting anything. Then retract the wipers by pressing on the reset lever, it should go back to zero on your payout disc. If it is not hitting anything, I would adjust the tension spring, it may be wound too tight. (thus a runaway hopper)

Thanks Bob I tried all that nothing changed how ever what I did find is a little cherry micro switch that connects to another gear attached to the gear with the teeth that was not working this is the older style hopper the cherry switch operates a silonoid in the front of the hopper I have not replaced it yet as it is going to be hard to find however I connected a new micro switch to the leads held it in my hand and hit it as it paid out like the gear would do and nothing changed. Any idea what this switch is suppose to do? or that silonoid?
