--- Quote from: Crowquill on February 11, 2008, 02:18:13 am ---Retro_SA--Are there any places in South Africa that deal with arcade games? Someplace that might have some old parts laying around? The coin doors are expensive enough but shipping can be really high on these too as they're almost entirely metal. I'm wondering too why you're trying to avoid coin mechs. The mechs are the part of the door that guides the coin between the slot and the switch that "coins up" the game. The mechs themselves are interchangeable between most coin doors and some can be modified to take almost any coin. --- End quote --- The ones I could find either doesn't have the ones I want or they don't sell to the public. How will I know if the ones from Happ can be modified to take different coins? |

Ok, so nowhere else where I can buy this type of coin door except for Happ??? :banghead: Apart from private sellers, I can only pay with credit card, no PayPal or anything like that. |

I know that Level42, and Darth Nuno who live in the EU have had fellow BYOACer's who were kind enough to go ahead and act as third party facilitators to "forward" items to them when companies won't ship Internationally. It worked brilliantly. That is one option you might consider. Let us know if we can help you out. :cheers: |

We can't use something like PayPal in South Africa, so the only option I really have is payment with credit card. I just can't seem to find an online shop with the coin door I need, except for Happ. I actually wanted to order it just now from them, but they want your credit card details before you even have a final price on the parts (because they can't tell you how much shipping will be straight away). Which is a bit worrying. And I can't see why, especially since I bought the rest of my parts from Ultimarc without any problems. It's a pity Ultimarc doesn't have a wider variety of parts, their service is excellent. |

Ok, so I eventually bought this coin door from Happ and managed to modify it to take on of our local coins. Now how do I connect it to my minipac so that it will register a coin in Mame when I insert a coin? I don't have any of those switches that you use with the push buttons left over, so it will have to be a diy solution. Anyone have any ideas? |
