Cool story, PH. Rooter is exhibit one when proving that the spirit of Christmas is alive and well. :cheers: --- Quote from: Pixelhugger on December 29, 2012, 05:23:35 pm ---I'm trying to figure out how to wire a touch sensitive switch to my iPac so I can use it to actually insert credits. Running a wire to it is no problem, it's the circuit and voltages that baffle me. --- End quote --- Is a PCB mount or SMT microswitch out of the question here? I figure that you can make a wood 1-position rack similar to Happ's plastic 8-position "The Competitor" rack. The switch can be hidden behind a layer of wood so that pressing the token causes the rack to compress some foam weatherstripping (gray) and press the microswitch. Scott |

Cheese token from the location I went to as a kid. (This was back when it was called Pizza Time Theater, and had a dark almost bar like vibe to it… not the day care center it has since become.) --- End quote --- This is how I remember it being when I went to one as a kid. It was certainly not like it is today. |

I guess the business model had to change after the crash. Their market certainly shifted from teens to kiddies. |
