Coin Buckets
« on: September 02, 2014, 05:03:13 pm »
I don't own an original Cab so I'm wondering if those that do can provide some insight on this.

When a quarter drops through the coin mech, does the coin get collected in a coin bucket that is locked in a box?  In other words the coin falls through a slot in the box, which is locked.
Thanks

Is there a chute then from the coin mech exit down to the slot into the locked coin box?

Typically there is just a hole above the coin box the coin will fall through.

Thanks guys.  I think for my cab I"ll rig up something to make it as authentic as I can by making a coin box with 2 slots and a lock :). Thanks for the pics!
