Hi me again :) I was just wondering - you use your coin mech with a J-Pac (or I-Pac). The output to Coin 1 (or Coin 2) from the coin mech, is just an Open connection (no volts) which connects to Ground when a coin is inserted - is that right? So the 12volts I'm worrying about frying the J-Pac with, never actually gets involved with the 'Coin 1' connection. The 12volts is purely to power the coin mech. - Is that right? Sorry to sound a bit dim - but I just want a little more confidence before I plug the coin mech into my J-Pac 'Coin 1' pin. The J-Pac instructions are a bit scarey when it comes to coin mechs. Thanks in advance Ian |

I have mine plugged into an ipac-2 & it is currently connected to both coin inputs 1 & 2. As far as I know, all it does is when a coin is inserted into the coin mech, the mech sends a signal to the shefras board (which, I think only has the 12v supply to power its self & the actual coin mech) the shefras board then sends power to a soleniod (sp?) which is just a powered switch. So once the coin is inserted, assuming the mech is set to give say 6 credits for in my case |

I see. So there's no volts on the 'Coin 1' because it is effectively an open switch to ground. OK I'll plug mine in and see if it works :) Cheers Ian |

Hi, currently have a Mars ME126 coin mech, right now though I don't have a credit board and will be planning on getting one of the credit boards from Swallow Amusements. On their site they have listed credit boards for MS/ME series as |
