[QUOTE="FurVid, post: 5662, member: 19"] Not sure then. Have an earlier System 11 (high speed), but think most of this stuff should be pretty similar. Mine also came with just two working displays (which weren't even alphanumeric), so I went through some similar problems a while back. I just tried turning free play off on mine and found that I could toggle it simply by going to "Ad 23" and pressing the credit button (we're talking about the big button on the front of the cabinet to the left side of the coin door, right?) once and then turning the machine off and back on with the switch underneath the front right. I also tried switching from US to UK coinage, and everything still worked fine. Those settings just affect the number of coins needed for a credit - the coin door mech itself decides when coins are valid or not. Can you add credits by pressing the appropriate place on the coin mech? Basically, what the operator would do if you told them it ate your money... On mine it's a thin plastic button on the back of the mech that you press downward, but I know on some earlier coin mechs you had to poke your finger up from underneath to hit a metal switch. By the way, since the coin country (US, UK, etc.) displays on the top row, if that's not changing it does seem to suggest that the problem might be with the credit switch itself.
