Arcade savings box: possible to modify a coin mech to take any coin?
<< < (2/2)
buick4u2nv:
mine's set so i can put in any coin...(up to the size of a quarter)..and anything smaller dosent count as credits but drops into the box inside...insted of being returned to the user..
vidmouse:
Mine didn't come with coin mechs so I just use cardboard slides for now...
it accepts anything but sometimes has trouble with dimes.


more detail on my coin door page:

maxmix:
Vidmouses idea is a nice and simple route to go.... Either that or some fine adjustments on the mechanical movement of the mech.....

maxmix

Some resistance for the coin going through the cardboard would be better tho.... rather than plop straight through the wire on the micro switch.... Easily to miss a credit that way....

When a normal quarter or 10p UK us gettiing checked for weight and thickness and metal content it is slowed down a bit on it's travel before clicking your switch....

Hope that helps ;)
