Week of 4/13/2014

Skee Ball
I found one lane with a coin jam.  I found a quarter in the mech that looked like someone used a hammer and punch on it.  After clearing the jam, the lane worked fine.
I moved three balls back into the proper lanes.

Cyclone
I found it moved a couple of feet and unplugged.  I moved it back and plugged it and it worked fine.

Jackpot Crossing
I found it with an out of order sign on it.  There was a ticket jam, I cleared the jam and the game worked fine.  I am still looking for a replacement for this one.

Rowe Changer
The out of service light was lit.  I found that there was a huge jam in the bill stacker area.  It is possible that I didn't get the stacker latched last time I installed the stacker.  I cleared the jam and ran several dollars through it and it worked fine.

Collection

While I was doing my collection at the location that the change machine that had the jam was at, I noticed that they had a couple of shredded dollar bills laying on the desk.  They weren't aware of the huge bill jam and apparently the machine was shredding money or the patrons were ripping the bills apart trying to get them out of the acceptor.  I explained where the shredded money had come from.
