One of my bays has quit on me. No time is displayed or audible tone when I put a coin in, use a credit card, or manually hit my button in the control room. Anyone have any thoughts of what could be going wrong?

- IDX LTT 800 timers (i think)
- GinSan Sensortron coin acceptors
-Nayax Card readers wired for count down.

Everything has been working great until yesterday and it just quit. I feel like it is either the timer or coin acceptor but i'm new to this and still working on figuring everything out.
 
If there is no-display and the Sensortron accepts coins. Then the LTT800 is bad. If it rejects coins check to make sure you have 24volts between the Yellow and Black wires of the timer or acceptor. If you have voltage on the wires you will need to contact KleenRite for the GT200 timer. First make sure the old LTT800- display only or LTT802 timer model.
 
The display is working as advertised with my msg scrolling across it as of right now. It did display out of service briefly yesterday.

If three different signal pulses are failing to produce a result, my first check would be to check the signal input for the timer.
I'd clean the connections at the plug on the timer and check the wiring for corrosion at the wire nuts, terminal blocks or crimp fittings, depending on what you use. . Then I'd swap the timer out with a known good one. I would only do this because you stated it's still powered up and scrolling the welcome message.
You could also disconnect two of the three signal pulse sources and check just the coin accepter, or just the c/c reader, and try to isolate those components to see if one works independent of the others.
Since you're new, you should know there are some people out there that believe spraying water into the faceplate might "jackpot" the timer and give free time.. or they're just f@#%ing a-sholes that like to do things like that for no particular reason. Usually everything in the bay box is pretty resilient but over time could corrode an electrical connection.
 
Thank you all for the responses. I'm going to check all of the connections and clean them up first. I went ahead and ordered a coin acceptor if for nothing else but have one in stock if it turns out that's not it.
