I had a crack at "servicing" my hoppers. Only took 10 minutes. Not sure if I did it right as I was just trying to work it out as I went but thought I'd post it here in case anyone else finds it useful. I used a couple of alcohol wipes, a couple of cotton buds and a lint-free cloth with some furniture polish on it. I took photos as I went and annotated them so that you can see what I did. If you have more knowledge and can add other steps to these or correct me if I've gone wrong then I'm all ears.

Thanks for the link. I've got a quite a few of those touchscreen-type games (albeit the mouse controlled ones as I don't have a touchscreen) but didn't know we had a section here with them in. Will have a browse through. Cheers

Nice one. I'll check those out then. Cheers.

Hi all, I really like the old quiz machines that everyone used to gather around in a pub and shout "It's D mate" and then... "Christ Jim!! Only shout out if you definitely know it!!!" I know that we have Barquest, and Strike It Lucky. I wondered if anyone knew of any others? Cheers

Yep I prefer silicon oil. I did use to use WD40 a lot until someone told me that it isn't actually a lubricant. But I'll get the hopper out the machine on Friday and have a proper look at them. It might obvious what to do. If I need to strip them down then so be it. It might even be that they don't really need maintenance but I doubt that. Thanks

Yep that was my first instinct but ideally wanted someone to confirm. I'll probably give it until Friday and then give that a go mate. As the old saying goes... If it doesn't move and it should then use WD4O. If it moves and it shouldn't use gaffer tape.

Thanks for that. Yep, I may need to clean up a lot of the 10p's as they have become very oxidised. I also could probably do with cleaning the coin mech as well but that will be the next question!
