Looking for someone with more knowledge on this crane than myself...
Basically this is your typical candy crane, it is currently set for .25 per play and is also set for play till you win.
Here is the issue when you plug it in it runs threw self test just fine, then starts into attract mode with no issues, you can coin it up and play just fine, and I will go ahead and mention at this point the prize detection sensor works perfectly, the problem comes when it sits in attract mode for about 5 minutes...
The machine will stop playing music and start with a siren type sound (kind of like a tilt sensor) and displays the letter E with a backwards 9, in order to get it working again you have to unplug it, let it sit for a few minutes and plug it back in, I will also mention at this point that attempting to hand trip the tilt sensor it does not work...
Now threw my process of elimination I have found that if I turn off the play till you win feature the claw will function perfectly indefinitely...
So the question is how/why is the play till you win function causing this error when all the equipment seems to function fine for the first 5 minutes?
Idea's??
Also the claw has a built in rope light, I assume the control box has burnt up because the rope is no longer working, the bulbs are LED so I highly doubt it's a problem with that, any idea where to find a new control box? It's generic so there is no name on it...
