So the other day I was browsing ebay and found a seller that's 20 minutes from me. Saw a change machine listed as non working for 99 cents. I figured what the hell, maybe it'll go for $20 or something cheap and I can fix it up. Ended up winning it for 99 cents :D Went to pick it up and grabbed a decent pac man marquee for $10 while I was there. Got it home and it wouldn't accept bills. Took the bill validator apart and reseated a socketed chip that was in there. Started taking bills and spitting out 3 quarters...wtf? There are 2 banks of 8 dip switches in there(wish I could find out what these did) and I thought it was one of them. Realized a quarter got jammed and the solenoid was stuck. Popped it back into place and we now have a working quarter machine for 99 cents!(actually gave the guy a dollar and told him to keep the change :p) Not bad eh?
