Seeking advice regarding changing a coin mech - Williams Teachers Pet

[RonaldPiper]

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure as best etiquette or place to post. I hope this is ok.

I have a Williams teachers pet that currently uses UK 10p coins. I wonder if it's possible to replace the coin mech to use modern 50p, 20p, 10p, £1.
Would it be an easy swop or would it require a rewire etc? It's running on 240v uk

I had a search but didn't see anything that was helpful. Perhaps I'm not searching correctly.
Please let me know if anymore information would be useful.

Kind regards,

Robert

Its S10 coin mechanism. Just remove it and put in a new one that accepts the coin you want.

It will only accept one type of coin. Most new coins will pass through the front insert.

As Chris said

Buy a S/H coin mech that meets your requirements and swap it out

The wiring is basic stuff

Coin mechs are generic not specific to a machine normally might need cosmetics but I don’t think so

It looks like the mech just clips in at the top
The only thing you MIGHT need to swap over is the mounting hardware on each corner

Ah thank you! I'll buy one and see how it goes.

Thanks for all the advice, very much appreciated
