Your coin switches have been rewired OR the second switch on the wiper
is always closed. These credit units had an option where two quarters
would give extra credit (usually five) and this was controlled by a
second switch that closed when the stepup pawl was at a certain (usually
two credits) position. When there the switch would close and the next
quarter in would trip the 50c coil. This would not happen if you used a
dime (or nickle if enabled).

The coins switches may have been rewired if the quarter solenoid has
burned out and the previous tech simply made the machine always trip the
50c coil for any quarters. In which case the previous owner was likely a
home, not a business...

Manuals are available from us and others...
