Summit - Coin-in bell

[mwade109]

Hey, I got this Summit and it is the second one that had had the same problem.  Machine works pretty good but when you insert a coin, sometimes it will ding on every coin and two dings on the 5th coin and sometimes it will ding on just random inserts.  Any idea on this.  I sold the last one doing this but if there is a fairly easy way to correct this I would rather it dinging correctly.  This machine isn't going to be sold for much as it is ugly with the crappy brushed metal panels on the outside, the front door has severe pitting (shines up pretty nice but much pitting) and the handle pretty much un-chromed.  Usually I just part it out on ebay but there is not a lot of interest in the Summit parts and it may take years to get rid of them.

So... enough rambling, any ideas?

Do you have a Summit manual? That would help in troubleshooting.

This is a Summit Systems, not Summit Coin. Different companies altogether.
There used to be a manual out there on this Summit machine.
I have no experience with these but I suspect the switch has doubled output and the one for the bell isn’t working well. Can you follow the wires from the bell and see if they are triggered from the computer board or just a switch?

This is what I recall seeing. You might need to reach out and see if this is the same format. Honestly I don’t know how much a schematic is going to help with an intermittent problem.
