Title: HAVE COIN DOOR....NEED TO BUY EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!!
Post by: marknetwork on March 23, 2004, 07:33:22 pm: Hello,

I just got an old arcade cabinet with a coindoor identical to this one: (http://www.arcadecontrols.com/files/Uploads/9a_1_b.jpg)

But there are no coin mechs and the wires have been cut or they're messed up. Either way all I have is the coindoor and I need everything else.

I want to set this up to any coin can add a credit and will need microswitches to do this....where can I get them and how do I power them?

Thanks everyone!!
Mark

Yes I read them but now I finally have the coindoor and am finally ready to buy. :D Are coin mechs even needed if I want to accept any size coin?

Thanks,
Mark

Post by: marknetwork on March 23, 2004, 07:48:00 pm: Hmm I dont think I'll need a coin mech after all since I am going to accept any size coin. I guess it's just the microswitches that I need but how do they get setup?

It is just a switch like any other ones you have now. It does not need POWER, all it need is for you to hook it up just like any other push buttons you have in X-Arcade.
