I'd also vote for brass. Perhaps a vote could be taken for brass vs nickel and then the winner is minted at potentially a bit of a savings (due to economies of scale)? BTW - Is the nickel version nickel plated brass? And, more importantly, will the nickel perform IDENTICALLY as brass in a mech? I'm guessing that the 'magnet deceleration' feature of the mech would be the part that may cause the issue (if there is one). (or do I not fully understand the operation of a mech...) Rick |

Personally if I am going to have custom tokens I think that they would look cooler/more retro/more like tokens if they were brass. Am I way off base here. If I wanted silver color I'd use quarters. I also like the idea of brass probably being cheaper since my to cabs have quarter mechs right now and in addition to the tokens I'd have to buy 3 token mechs if I want these darn things, and I probably will since there are at least 3 designs I'd be willing to use. --- End quote --- bfauska you may be able to hack your coin mechs to accept tokens and quarters. I hacked my mechs and they seem to work well.... except for the fact that my cabinet isn't finished, but dry run test of the mechs proved that once hacked they were able to accept both. There is a tutorial thread somewhere on this site and I believe Santoro has links to other token hack tutorials.... ahhh here's the page that might help..... http://www.arcadereplay.com/content/ So unless your coindoor is the special type that need to have the hole the quarter goes in dremmeled out a bit, the hack should be fairly easy. I still need to drimmel out the quarter slots on my pin though..... |

I've always said I want to get some BYOAC tokens, and then never pull the trigger... Mr. C's in Brass would be the end of that trend for sure. Beautiful. :cheers: |
