Okay, I must be missing something... I bought a Suzo-Happ Metal Coin Mech:
http://na.suzohapp.com/coindoors/42303900.htmand I have no clue how to wire this thing so that it sends a signal when the proper coin is inserted. I assume there's somewhere I should be attaching a microswitch?
When a coin falls through it, there are two little metal rods that are coiled up that are on a pivot and "kick" up when the coin passes through their area on the mech, but it hardly seems like it would be enough to press a microswitch (and actually, I tried holding a microswitch up to one of the two coiled bits when a coin fell through the mech and all that happened was the coin got stuck trying to pass through the arm, because the coiled bit pressed up against the microswitch but couldn't press it down enough to allow for the coin to go through

)
is there something i'm missing? are my microswitches too "stiff", or is there another way to wire this badboy? Also, I don't see a place to really "mount" the microswitch against the coinmech, either... some help with that would be much appreciated, as there doesn't seem to be any diagrams online for these.
