String on a quarter works.
I got 99 credits on a Pacman machine on a Quarter. I played and played then I'm out of time and lots of credits left.
I had to turn Machine off and on to get the credit to dissapear.

Also, the flicking of a penny on the corner of the coin entry works too (only works with Coin Doors like Pacman, Ms.Pacman etc... (midway))

AtomSmasher:
I once saw a guy take a curved wire, stick it in the coin return (possibly the coin slot, but I think it was the return) and trigger the machine so it thought quarters were dropping in.

ChadTower:

As a kid I used to call the operator from payphones, tell her I needed to call home for a ride, but the phone wasn't accepting my dime.  She would tell me to put it in, check something on her end, and then connect me manually to the number I was calling.  I was actually putting in a penny.   Nine cents saved!   :laugh2:


You used to be able to use static discharges to coin up games.  The Tank II I worked on had a loose antenna wire attached to the credit circuit and I couldn't figure out why.  Eventually I found this in a third party service manual:

That involves taking a wine bottle and hitting the coin door as hard as you can. 

I met a guy with a PacMan cabinet... he didn't have the keys... that's how they gave it credits for 20 years.

Who knew that the ability to christen a ship would come in so handy in everyday life.  I'm going to try and hotwire a car with this method!

I'm ready to go back now!

I have my wine bottle, train flattened pennies, wire, and a coin on a string.
