| BYOAC Custom tokens - optical coin mech? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| saint:
For those contemplating tokens but concerned about the size of the token vs. their coin mech -- anyone thought about building one of these circuits? http://www.oscarcontrols.com/coinswitch/ |

Doesn't this just replace the coin switch? Wouldn'y you still need the mech unless of course you replaced it with sometype of straight shoot? |

You keep the coin mech....it's just that coin size doesn't matter anymore. Hell, ANY coin you put it will register since all your doing is breaking a light beam. |

If the coin ends up in the reject chute it won't break the beam. |

The mech adjustment is really the hard part, although I do like the idea of an optical switch. |
