Looks like he means the coin acceptor at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Roll-Down-Quarter-Acceptor-25-US-Coin-Mech-Mechanism-/380941027453
(There was a period after the URL)

. . . and the pinball machine at http://www.walmart.com/ip/Star-Wars-Space-Battle-Free-Standing-Pinball-Game/43847906.
(Based on item #43847906 in the URL)

IMHO doesn't look promising.

Yeah if that's right, I wouldn't think so either.

I'm sure you could rig something up using a small coin mech or something and maybe pulse the power on signal from a coin but it would take some modifying.

I would think main problem would be finding a place to fit it. Also the plastic would have to be able to support it
