POLL: Do you REALLY use your coin chutes?
<< < (5/10) > >>
TurboC--:
Hopefully my machine will be functioning in like a week, and yes, I will use my coin mechs.  I even have an official Bally/Midway Pac-man hologram cup I've had since '80 or '81, for holding the quarters.  :D  I think I might try to use only 1980 quarters.  ;D
Mr. Dude:
Unfortunatley I've been to lazy to hook up my coin mechs.  I just use the coin buttons on my CP for now.  Hopefully down the road I'll ger around to hooking up the mechs, it would be a nice touch to have that real arcade feel.
HaRuMaN:
I use real quarters... and use the machine as a big piggy bank.  I just pulled $85 out of there the other day to add to the Christmas fund, which was pretty cool.
Crowquill:
I'm just completing my cab (wired up coin slot lights last night), and I'm still debating this as well. As my new toy I'm trying lots of new games and using a credit button for the time being (the "flipper" buttons on the side). There are three things I keep thinking about:

1. Challenge...see how far I can get through a game on a limited amount of credits.
2. Winding down at the end of the day..empty out my pockets and play a few games before bed.
3. Nostalgia...What would the experience be without the coin drop noise? The cabinet I have had a working coin door from the start and I found myself just dropping quarters in it just to hear the noise (even before the cab was working).

I brought my coin mechs in to work with me tonight and modified them. Now the take both quartes and tokens
