| Big Ben:
When I was looking through my broken MKII machinen i found a small rectangulat prism type thing in the base of the coin collector. I am assuming that it is some kind of counter b/c it has mechanical digits on it that look like it has somethign to do with the coins. And of course it has teo wires connected to it. Help please. Thanks, BB |

If you move your cabinet around the house for a while, you'll see the digits incrementing. Seriously, you hit it on the head. It counts the number of times the machine is played. |

Ah thank you. That isn't one of the most useless things in the world. How much do they cost? |

They're referred to as meters and they're fairly inexpensive. A new replacement shouldn't cost more than $7. http://www.happcontrols.com/cc/meters.htm |

I worked at an arcade a while back and it was easier to read that than to count the quarters which we just tossed in bags with quarters from all the other machines. |
