Why not use a keyswitch ? Seems the simplest option of alll IMHO. |

I need to search around, though, to find one that could mount thru 3/4". The keyswitch I saw at Radio Shack didn't have long enough threaded portion of the neck. |

I agree, you can get multi circuit key switches that would turn on/off multiple coin switches at once, useful for multiple coin slots. Plus you wouldn't have to hide it, put it someplace convenient and just remember where you kept the key. |

i did this in my mame cab for exactly the same reasons 8) my method ( i wish i snapped a pic, i'll try tonight after work) i have my ipac mounted to a piece of plastic so i can take it out to work on it if needed. when i mounted the ipac i found a really cheap on/off switch at radio shack, cut the ground wires, wired them through the switch and mounted said swith to the plastic that the ipac is mounted too, you flick the switch and the coin buttons work flick it again and nothing, works perfectly and is simple yet elegant solution... |

That is similar to what I was thinking. I was going to wire the Coin 1/2 of the coin door to the Coin 1/2 of the IPAC4. Then I was going to go from the Coin1/2 Buttons on the CP to the Player 1/2 Button 8 ports in the IPAC - through a switch. The IPAC's Windows config utility will allow me to assign the Player1/2 Button 8 slots as Coin 1/2. That way when I flip the switch, the coin buttons don't work, just the coin slots. |
