Post by: mogse on September 14, 2004, 03:55:25 pm

hi
i'm a newbie to mame so please forgive my basic questions

i'm looking to fit an inexpensive coin mech to the cocktail cab i'm building.
but i'm confused to what i need and the best place to source a cheap one in the UK?

i had alook at this

is this all i need to accept UK coins and have it register a credit through an ipac adapter?

or do i need a front bit and this

usually when you buy form HAPPS the COIN DOOR, it usually comes with a coin mech just make sure you get  the right one. If the price however is too much, you can look for cheaper used coin door (here or e-gay) and come coin mechs and you can hack it to accept any tokens/coins etc...Here is my tutotrial of how to hack a certain coin mech to accept any tokens/coins you shove in the hole.
