By the way, it really helps to be as specific as possible with all aspects of what is happening when a malfunction occurs. Everything observable is a clue for someone trying to troubleshoot a problem from a remote location. Case in point: I had a location that would call almost every day to complain that the jukebox only gave 3 songs for a dollar, instead of the 5 songs showing on the pricing card. I would run dollar bills through the DBV until I was blue in the face and it would give 5 credits every time. I made about seven service calls before asking the ditzy barmaid to explain exactly how they were being short-changed. As it turned out, they were getting 5 credits, but the write-in sequence was not always setting the selection pin ( dirty write-in contact ring connection).

Let me know more, if possible.

Respectfully,

David
