Are all coin mechs the same?
« on: September 23, 2008, 11:33:08 am »
Just curious as I have a midway coin door I might get the mechs for but I'm not sure if the ones it uses are the same that you would find in an over and under type of coin door.

Thanks

No. Some brands/models don't fit. Stay away from Coin Controls ones as they will not work in the Midway door.

Guaranteed to work 100% are Coin Mechanisms, Inc. (a.k.a. Coin Mech) brand since that's who designed the door in the first place. The all metal "100 series" from Coin Mech is what the door was designed for.
