Insert 25 Cent Button

[Yoeddy1]

So I have a MAME cabinet and am not really interested in adding a coin door, coin mechs etc.  Basically i just want 4 buttons that look like the "Insert 25 Cents" buttons (and lit) that I can wire up to my IPAC.  Kinda like a poker machine type of button.  Anybody make anything like this?

Thanks,
Jason

Get an illuminated pushbutton.  Create an image that looks like a coin slot.  Insert it in the button.  Done!

OR, you can get a button like this that's premade...

can this be hooked up as if it were the on off switch of my computer?

Not sure how well putting a power button that looks like a coin-up button will work (especially with people playing your cabinet for the first time) but it is doable. As long as it's not a really, really old computer that has a solid rocker switch to turn on and off. If it's just a pushbutton on the computer for power, you should be good.

It is a momentary (non-latching) button like a typical ATX computer power switch, so yes you can use it as a replacement.

Not sure why you'd want to use a "coin" button as a power button, though.
