I have been on the hunt for a chicken/egg machine for quite some time. One came up in a consignment auction an hour away and I won it for $50! The information that the auction had was that it was fully functional, circuit board worked but needed a new coin mechanism. I got it home, plugged her up (is it a her?) and the lights came on. Seems like a good sign. I tried manually pressing the coin switch but nothing else happened. I also tried unhooking the coin switch and touching the ends together, in case the switch was broken. I checked the fuse and it was fine, but I assume if it was blown the lights wouldn't have came on.
I am not sure where to start with seeing what is broken. I have taken a bunch of pictures and maybe some of you can point me towards things to try to see what might be wrong. I have no electrical skills, but I can use a voltmeter
and have built a mame machine from a Mace cabinet. Tomorrow I'll start tracing the wires and checking the cables with my voltmeter.
My goal here is to get it up and running, maybe fancy it up cosmetically and have a cool thing for my sons to play with.
