I did something similar when I first got my MAME cab going, except I used sheet aluminum. Like Samstag said, it was mising that great sound of the coin making it's way through the mech. Had to switch to mechs to get that nice sound. -s |

The *thunk* at the end of inserting a coin is just the icing on the triple fudge layer cake that is the sound of a quarter making it's way through the mech. If I didn't love that sound so much I would have skipped the coin door altogether. --- End quote --- Put a breadpan or similar metal dish to catch the coins and you have that nice *thunk* noise. --- End quote --- I was assuming they'd have something similar to catch the coins and would only have the *thunk*. That's why I'm comparing it to eating nothing but icing. |

i picked up a low torque microswitch but they require more force than a regular coin to make the switch close. forget this idea. |
