Title: Coin Mech for MAME cab help.
Post by: ShoryuKeith on July 20, 2009, 05:44:00 am

Hi all, i'm new to this site, and pretty much a noob to the Cabinet building process.

I have a question about coin doors. The one i'm really interested in purchasing for my cab is this one:-

http://www.arcadeshop.de/Coin-Mech-Coin-Door-344x285-2-Entry_849.html

My question is. Would this be ready to fit into the cab and start using straight away? Or would i have to purchase anything else with it. It states on the description "Medium coin door suitable for all mechanical and electronic 3.5" built-in coin-acceptor units." ...what does this mean??

thanks for your help

ok thanks for that, i understand now i need the actual mechs.

I've noticed on their site the coins are in Euros. It says coin selector for 0.5-EUR-coins. Does anyone know if these are the same size as a 10p coin, will it accept UK 10p coins??

No,

the coin mech does it on size and weight.

you can try to find a token maker in the UK and ask them so make you tokens just give them a 50 euro cent piece.
but i will be cheaper just to get some 50 euro cent pieces at your local currency shop
