Coin Head Pneumatic

Attached to the coin-head, there is a long pneumatic(RH-1022), on which are mounted the seven COIN FINGERS (RH-266X). When a horse wins a race, the power is transmitted to this pneumatic; if there is a coin on one or more horses. the fingers contact with the coin and are held out which permits the power to be transmitted to what we term the KICK-OFF VALVES (RH-239), which are a series o fvalves under the flags at the end of the track. If the coin fingers happen to get bent out of adjustment, or do not reseat properly, they will cause a pay-off the same as if a coin were pieced on that particular horse. Press the finger valve gently by hand with no coins in the slot, to determine a leak. On the other hand, if these fingers are seated properly, but not contacting the coin enough to allow the vacuum to be transferred, then the machine will fail to pay off. This can be determined by raising the coin finger by hand. If this trouble arises, bend the upper end of the fingers in towards the coin to get the proper lift on the valve to transfer the vacuum. If the fingers are raising high enough on all 7 coins to transmit the power properly to the kick-off valve, they are working satisfactorily. Your next step is to test the kick-off valve at the end of the track.
