Now for the testing and documentation. ;D
Are you getting chatter on the relay?
You should be able to drop 10 coins and get 10 credits -- test this using an old-school game that only does 1:1 coin/credit ratio.
Also, try putting the zener diode back in -- it should work as a snubber for this setup if you have any chatter.
Do you mind taking a few good pics (side view and front angle view with a contrasting/neutral backdrop) of your coin recognizer for the wiki?

1 coin drop registers a credit :)
I will take pics of everything when Its done and not so crappy looking. Going to solder the relay to the wires from the coin mech and usb encoder.
Right now they are just crudely tied together. (Soldering is another thing I know nothing about, so bear with me lol)
Woodworking.. I am an old pro at that!

Hi InfantSorrow,
I have been reading this thread with great interest because I am struggling to get my coin mech working.
Can you sum up the connexion you did between the pc molex, the relay and the ZD encoder ?
Also can you confirm that the relay I am using is ok http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b508/Smeeters/20140702_083131_zpse4a8cc33.jpg
Thanks!

Sadly, the OP forgot his promise to post a thorough explanation of the final configuration...
As a total beginner in electronics, I could not understand from this thread what to actually do in order to get the ZD to detect the coin drop as a button press.
The problem is that the coin mech that I'm using (ch-268t) outputs an "Open Collector", and does not simply "closes" a circuit.
But, after some tinkering and reading this document I got it, so I'm here sharing for n00bs like myself :)
This is the wiring diagram that I've used:
I hope it is gonna be helpful for the next guy that attempts this :)

Hello.
I have the same problema but in my case, my coin mech is a comestero rm5 light selfprog and the problem is i dont know where is the NO pin, because all i have is a 10-pin cable going to the interior of my cabinet. Can tou help me on that ? Thank you.
I hope it is gonna be helpful for the next guy that attempts this :)

10 Years later, the relay drawing from a_netanel is still the easiest way to make this work with a cheap zero delay encoder.
