Coin Mech for any coin?
coinguy:
I'm with Stingray, THAT sound is part of the experience.
I think the dampner weight or sizing lever are the parts that make
the sound. If one modifed the gate to always move the coin
to the coinbox side you would be ok.
If the coin falls too fast, will your IPAC or other keyboard adapter
see the coins?
Stingray:
TheNasty's instructions work fine for every mech I've tried. There are differences & variations among the different mechs, but once you get a handle on what you're supposed to do you can apply it to pretty much any mech.

I'll give it a shot then, probably won't get the coin door for a couple months but I'll make sure to save those instructions! :)

HOLY BUMP!
I'm looking to do this mod on Nintendo Coin Mechs, and I figure some of you guys have never seen these posts. I'm going to fiddle around with the mechs this week but was wondering if anyone can confirm it works.
Here is a link to instructions

nintendo mechs are a little different than most. i successfully modded mine to accept steel washers i have been using as tokens, but now they dont work with quarters. the way they are designed, it is difficult to make them work with different sizes of coins. they have a little rail that the top of the coin needs to ride on..it has to be adjusted for a specific size of coin, if the coin is too big or too small, it just won't go through. there may be a way to replace that piece with something else in order to accomodate that, but using the standard parts, it is difficult.
