to make the coin reject buttons move smoothly just take out the coin mech. works like a champ.

But with the coin mechs out, how do you make sure that coins dropped thru the slots A)registers as a credit, and B)goes into the coin box or whatever you have setup to collect coins?
The 1st is semi-sarcastic, but I had a problem with the second since without the mechs, quarters just kinda dropped wherever they wanted

Yeah, some people actually want to USE their coin mechs! I'd rather keep everything as functional as possible, otherwise the coin door is just window dressing. Its also a good way to limit kids play time, or even your own (if you find yourself playing when it's time to go to work... ;) )
Besides, you can set up the switches so that you only have to push the buttons a fraction of an inch to get credits, without having to fight the coin mech. Simple.

I wired my rejects as coin switches around 3 years ago. It was on the Mark I cab. I doubt that I was THE first one to do it, but I was one of the first. I did a lot of brainstorming on that cab and thought it was awesome when it was done....now it still seems neat since it was a mini....but with so few controls it does not rate awesome anymore...
I had a lot more pics of the cab up...but storage got tight....so many had to go...including the coin switch pc....but the roswell cab is very similar. As I recall I used one existing hole and had to drill the other. very easy actually.
