Title: anyone used these push button coin drops and have any info.
Post by: northerngames on March 31, 2007, 02:48:56 pm

I was checking these out and sent a few emails trying to get a reply on these but it is like talking to a wall I get no replies.

I was wondering if anyone used these yet and if so how did they mount becuase from the pictures it does not look like it would fit in normal like mine they screw in where this looks more like a pushbutton mount but I would need like a 2" nut if that were the case so I was wondering if anyone had used them and what you thought of them.

Here is the original thread.

To quote

Ok, some dimensions:

First, it's not the same diameter as a standard pushbutton hole.  The threaded portion of the body is 1" long and .925" diameter, or made for a 15/16" hole.  I think 1" would be fine.

The outside dims are 1.3" wide, by 1.96" tall.  The actual button face is .938" wide by 1.588" tall.

They also have orientation pegs to keep them from spinning, so I guess they could be used with existing holes just by putting the smaller peg holes above and below the existing pushbutton hole and then tightening the nut down.  I don't think it will go anywhere, and it should cover everything fine.
