BYOAC Tokens!!! Now Accepting Pre-Orders.

Right, you got the only secure door I had for sale.  I have sold so many I forget who has what.  It looks from the pics that it came with Happ (IL) coin mechs.

Here is a quick tutorial that I whipped up explaining what is needed to make these mechs accept 0.984" tokens.

http://www.miavio.com/HappILMech.htm

I have done this to one of my coin doors and it has about a 90-95% success rate of accepting tokens, which is about what alot of old arcades are like for accepting quarters :)

The tokens I used to test this are from a used batch of 1000 0.984" tokens I got off of ebay.  I wouldn't expect that the BYOAC tokens should be much different and should work.  My suggestion is to use those BYOAC tokens as your test token when making the adjustment so that the mech will more likely accept the tokens.

If anyone has any questions let me know and I'll try to clarify anything.

thanks for the tutorial!  this will work for the tokens, but will it work for all other coins?  i.e. nickels, dimes, pennies, etc.??  i know santoro's mechs will accept a crap load (and thats a lot) of different coins....will this hack do the same thing for smaller sizes?

No, unfortunately this just adjusts them to accept 0.984" tokens and quarters.  All smaller coins fall through the cradle and will be rejected.
