A few units in the field have ex-
perienced coin jams in the auto-
loading coin hopper. After some
troubleshooting, we discovered
three reasons for these jams.

First, The hoppers have an inter-
nal adjustment plate which may
slip if not secured with LocTite.
Repositioning the plate requires
a small adjustment tool which we
are now shipping with all games.
Once the plate is adjusted and
LocTite applied, jams are not a
problem. If you do not have an
adjustment tool, please call our
parts department. They will send
you one immediately.

Second, the new tokens shipped
with each game will wear in dur-
ing the first week of operation.
The tiny shavings produced can
occasionally cause a jam. If this
occurs, remove all the coins from
the hopper and shake them out.
In addition, blow out any debris
remaining in the hopper. All new
tokens are now cycled in the fac-
tory to prevent this problem.

Last, the tokens included with the
game are .984". Locations that
have larger or smaller tokens
have accidentally placed these
coins into the hopper causing the
hopper or the escalator to jam.
To prevent this, do not remove
the hopper cover and advise your
staff of the different coin size.
If you are experiencing any other
problems with Pharaoh's Fantasy
or any of our other games, please
