| POLL: Do you REALLY use your coin chutes? |
| << < (2/10) > >> |

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. |

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. |

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! |
