So, would this work with MAME and I-PAC?? http://www.happcontrols.com/coindoors/40150000.htm Thanks! Glad to be here! Nicholas --- End quote --- Hi there, I have the coin mechs on my cab hooked up via an IPAC which it sounds like you are trying to do. I do not have the same coin mechs but I'm assuming there are wires which would normally be used to hooking up to a real arcade pcb. I just wired one wire each from one to the '5' key if I remember correctly and the other wires to ground. I did this a few years ago so I maybe getting something wrong. It does work though I just tested it again to make sure. I don't usually put quarters in there unless I'm showing off the cab. :) The key to all this, as it seems to have been mentioned, is having the wires which are attached to switches that trigger when a coin engages them. hth, ~telengard |

I believe that the unit you're looking at does have a built in switch. If it didn't, it would be advertised with a three way timing switch. There's no way to set the timing on an external microswitch. These things do require a 12v power supply though. I can't see any problems using it with an input controller such as iPac. The only issue I do see is that, frankly, these things aren't that pretty. You might be better off contacting some local operators and trying to find some coin mechs that accept kroner. (kroner? Do the danes not like euros?) |

Here in the UK I got lucky and got a mars coin mech and board, so far it has performed perfectly when connected to a Jpac (jamma version of Ipac) |

They're also sold by Ultimarc so I guess the answer is yes. http://www.ultimarc.com/JShopServer/section.php?xSec=9 |
