POLL: Do you REALLY use your coin chutes?
<< < (2/10) > >>
JustMichael:
I use the Mame and BYOAC tokens in my cab.  I have a small plastic container to the side of the cabinet that has them in it.  I tried using a button but it just didn't feel right.  To me, feeding the machine is also part of the experience.

Even if you do not use your coin door all the time, you still need it. Why? You always have some friend who says - "You know your arcade machine is ok, but it would be cool if you had a working coin door". But then you install it, and nobody uses it because the free credits is a lot easier!

It's also good to have a working coin door for completeness. It just isn't an arcade machine if you don't have a working coin door at least. If you're not going to have a working coin door, then why not skimp on other parts of the cab?

I agree that you need a coin door even if you wont use it.

I installed switches behind my coin reject buttons and a switch on the inside of the door to turn them off and on (freeplay off/on).  I'm extremely happy with it.
daywane:
My coin doors are working.
key in door
open door and inside is a 2 buttons also
(coin) (power)
I keep my .25 cents in a logenburger basket at each cab.
about $10.00 in each basket

I would not advise on the baskets I use
TO DARN expensive. any old dollar store basket will do.
What in the world was I thinking.

I did the same thing with my coin door.  I put credit switches on the return buttons, and wired them through on/off switches inside the cab.  The cab came with "test" switches on a little panel inside the coin door. 

These let me turn off the "Free Credit" effect of the coin-return buttons, and limit the amount of play to the number of quarters/tokens I have in a jar next to the machine.  This comes in handy when the neices and nephews want to spend all day playing and/or refuse to leave!
