Hi I’ve got an American changer ac2221. I’m trying to get it back to life. The hopper boxes are filthy and so is the orange plastic chain. Is that chain something that should be replaced periodically to get the changer to work right or it doesn’t matter?

They sell new hoppers for $99-136 range at suzo-happ. You can replace the belts and clean the hopper, but if its been in service for a while, it might just be easier to get 2 new hoppers than chasing down issues with a worn out hopper. https://na.suzohapp.com/products/coin_hoppers/EV100-001B or https://na.suzohapp.com/products/coin_hoppers/EV100-011B. Both have serial or cctalk parallel interfaces for the new and old control boards. You can definitely try to do a proper cleaning first as well by taking apart the hopper and cleaning thoroughly.
