Adjust Nintendo coin mechs, USA to Canadian quarters?

[PaddyB]

 
Hi guys,
I just got a set of fresh new Nintendo coin mechs from mikes arcade. But, I can't figure out how to adjust them to accept Canadian quarters. I found a magnet I had to move for starters, but I think there is still more to it. Please help...

The "roll down" style mechs can be adjusted by refering to this document:

Granted, it's for a different brand, but they adjust the same way. You probably need to adjust the "rail" downward slightly to the correct height of a Canadian quarter.

Thanks a lot ken, I'll give it another whirl with this doc. I'm surprised mikes arcade wouldn't supply this... All the best, thanks again,
Pat

The key to it is moving the rail *equally* to the same height as what you need for your coins.
