Pimp my Coin Mech
Ayrk:
Ok, I have this pretty bag of BYOAC tokens and these brand new mechs. The problem is these mechs are set up to take 1.075 tokens and the BYOAC are .984.
I've managed to explore them, but I'm missing what I need to do to make them work. Can someone far more knowledgeable about mechs give me guidance?
I have 3 pics. There is a hinged part on the mech that I can open up and get inside.
Help me BYOAC, you're my only hope.
I've tried to mark where the coin goes in and where I think it should go.
Open a little
Open a little wider
Thanks.

Anyone?
Thenasty:
those are the plastic coin mechs. It will accept only what the size(s) when purchased. Not adjustable to accept any other size. You can probably do something like my Ultimate All in one Coin Mech (check my www, how to build one) but the mechs I used were the metal ones.
Maybe when i run out of my metal ones (a few pairs left), I'll look into modding the plastic ones cause I have some of it.
Ayrk:
Bummer.
Thanks for the info, though.
Stingray:
I have a couple of those. I sort of modded them to accept any coin. All I actually did was cut a drinking straw to the corrct length (about 2.5 inches iirc). Then I opened the part up that hinges, and stuck the straw in there so it will divert the token away from the coin return slot and toward the switch. I had to fiddle with it a bit to get the straw in the correct place. Kind of a bodge, but it does the job.
