I have 4 Southern Pride vacs, 8 years old, each on its own circuit with its own breaker. After starting the vac (4 quarters starts the vac), if the customer adds quarters for more time, the first added quarter does not register, the next added quarter shuts the vac off.

The timers are IDX 2 timers with IDX coin acceptors (gemini twin). Any ideas? Other than this, they have been pretty reliable. Confused why all are doing this now. Southern Pride went out of business I think.

As a guess, check the brushes on the motors. I have seen them wear way down and accasionally short out.
