Can you set a coin op to accept dimes? I was looking on happ and saw that they were set up for nickel, quarter, tokens, blah, blah blah. :-[ I just want my coin op to take dimes :-\
Ok, thanks for helping a n00b. :)

diameter = 17.830mm ( 0.700" )

I tried to modify a non-quarter mech (nickel, maybe? Anybody know how I can find out?) to accept any coin, and only succeeded in making sure that no coins were rejected. All the coins fall into the bucket below, but the dimes and pennies are generally not heavy enough to push little token switch. :/

Yes, dime mechs were never very common because people don't tend to have a lot of dimes, and they are so light.
