Where does the wire attach to a coin mech to

Alienreb:
Okay, so if the coin mech itself doesn't have a switch for me to attach some "trip wire" to, then what kind of mechanism do I need to supplement the mechanism with so I can wire up my IPAC to it?

dude, it's just a switch.  :)

that's it...nothing complex about it.

You put a coin in the slot...the mech's job is to decide if the coin is good...if it's not, it gets rejected. If it's good, the coin falls out of the chute and trips the "credit" switch as it falls by.

The Ipac doesn't care what you wire to it as a "credit switch", as long as it is a N.O. switch w/ ground on the COMmon. It could be a pushbutton if you want...

how would it work with MAME.
Kr. are the coins here in Denmark :)
