Title: Happ Coin Door "Enclosure" purpose
Post by: Boz on July 07, 2006, 04:40:10 am: My guess is that this is just a "cover" to hide the coin mechs -- a visual asthetic. Am I right? Do I ***NEED*** it to have the coin door work properly? Will I run into any trouble without it?

Thanks

Hmmm... If I'd have just analyzed the picture a little longer I would have found my answer. Looks like the enclosure is for the cash drawer only.

That little box is almost half the cost of the coin door. :o

Yeah... that's what I was thinking. I'm certain the sound of coins or tokens hitting the bottom of the cash drawer when there *is* an enclosure provides that all-too-familiar muffled "jingle". But I can probably make one out of ventilation ducting for a little cheaper. :)

Yeah, but two doors are useless if you can just open the top and reach down into the money. Hence, the enclosure.

Is there something magical that I am just not seeing about that thing though?

That price, for all that it appears to be, is IN-FREAKIN-SANE.

I know happ isn't exactly known for bargain pricing, but sheesh.

Well DUH! It's the *magical* coin-door-cash-box-enclosure. Can't you see the magic?

Here... Try these on.

You don't really need one but you do get that great sound when the coin falls into the box.......
