Adjust a Gold Mech acceptor for a US quarter

Steps

• Set the acceptor upright and level.
• Loosen the hex lock screw on the magnet holder and back out the slotted hex screw.
• With a real US 25 cent piece in the entry, wind the diameter adjuster clockwise until the coin drops into the cradle, the cradle tips, and the coin leans on the magnet.
• Now wind the slotted screw in until the coin only just passes the magnet, then give it half a turn more.
• Tighten the lock nut.
