This post is to help someone who might go through what I did just now and/or just make me look like a dumb ass.
I put a coin mech in Joust, it worked fine all day Saturday. I got a couple extra mechs off a friend and put a second one in. I tried it, it wouldn't take the coin. I tried the other one I put in a couple days ago, no dice. I took them out, I put them back in, took them out again, cleaned them, oiled anything that looked like it could be oiled, put them in again, tried them in another machine... They worked in another machine. They worked when out.
I'm sure many of you know what the problem was:
The Joust machine was off. As soon as I turned it on they worked perfectly. This is only with Joust, none of the other 6 machines I have are effected by the power being on or off so who knew? Not I. argh.
So I spent almost an hour being dumb :/ Not that I feel much smarter at this point.
I hope me telling of this saves someone the same trouble.
