Title: coin door/tokens
Post by: Flinkly on October 05, 2004, 11:40:47 am

all this talk about byoac tokens has gotten me thinking about my happs coin door and mechs.  i was wondering if it's possibly to change my 25 cent mechs to accept tokens and what size token would be easiest to change to?  i hear that these are the four most common sizes:

.882x.075
.900x.070
.984x.060
1.00x.060

thanks for all the help guys, and like always, i'm looking for someone who can get me cab dimensions for a neo geo mvs cab...

have you seen this "The Ultimate all in one Coin Mech" sounds like whats you looking for. Once you have this, you need no worries what size anymore.

0.984 is just slightly larger than a quarter.  I have converted a few Happs quarter mechs to accept 0.984 tokens.

thanks for the reply mp2526, could you give me a quick overview of what you did?  like did you just bend some of the parts inside with a screwdriver till they wend in?  i just don't want to spend another 50 bucks on coin mechs after spending so much on my cab already...my wife would probably kill me in my sleep.
