I seem to remember being able to pinch the edges of the round cradle thing inwards for the newer 10p, so they catch and flip.... Or just use cellotape and cardboard.

They were designed to try and combat a high degree of fraud on S1 coin mechs. Any coin the wrong size that did not fit the cradle at the back would drop out the back,As the front reject plate of the mechs were being levered to one side to gain access to the coin switch from the front so,The metal shield over the coin switch was another anti fraud device then upgraded to the black plastic fitting which completely encapsulated the switch wire arm was another addittion.The black plastic fitting will also spit coins out the back but, As they not used in sevice,as it has been said just block that gap at the back of the unit as shown in picture.

I’ve had this too. I actually wedged a coin partly in there to resolve the issue.

they are designed for the old bigger and weightier old 10p and 5p coins, so they pass through the weighted tip mechanism, the trick is to close the cradle on the tip mechanism so it catches the coin and tips, then adjust the gate so it bounces the right way

I agree. Same with pinball machines. LEDs look a bit too bright

Myself personally I wouldn’t put led’s in an old classic it just wouldn’t look right the fluorescent tubes give it the warm light look as it should have been ,,
