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.

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.
