Title: Coin Door light - options?
Post by: Richardgregory on March 09, 2013, 09:02:47 pm: Hi folks:

I picked up an old cabinet that has a coin door, but it's been gutted. I'm in the process of rebuilding it.

I'm curious to know what options I have in terms of wiring some lights to the coin door to illuminute the 25 cents logo. I'm thinking of a JAMMA board, and not a PC, so the power will need to come from the power supply of the PCB.

Thanks!

if you don't have sockets, you can get "wedge" style holders that just clip on to the coin runner on the top or on a tab built onto the top or you can retrofit one and attach with a screw (depends on your door style and how old it is.)

Coin Control tab style are Happ number 891-1117-00
runner style lampholders are Happ number 42-0351-00D

I bought a bunch of USB powered flex-lights off amazon and use that to light both coin buttons and my marquee. They are low power consumption/low heat, required no fancy wiring, and look great.
