Coin Door thoughts - to wire up or not?
nordemoniac:
I've wired up a CH-924. It can accept 4 types of coins. To bad that two of the four coin-types we have didn't work. (The two has holes in them).
Anyways, it's now configured to accept .984 tokens + coins equal to $2 and $4. These two coins give 10 and 20 credits.
It's nice, because when you have friends over, you put aside the tokens, and you will able to get some payment back on the project. Of course it's not legal, but friends wants to contribute!
Jack Burton:
I wired up my coin door but nobody ever really used it. All my friends are tech-savvy gamer types so they preferred using the credit button.
If I ever built a cab again I'd probably just skip the whole concept of a coin door and acceptor. A nice square LED lit button that says CREDIT on it would suffice.

Or, if you are like me and have mechs that are missing some pieces, just make some paper chutes to direct the coins in the right direction.
My take on this is if you have a coin door, I think people kind of expect it to work. It doesn't really require much in terms of getting it to work either in time or money [assuming you already have the coin door].

There's someone over at KLOV (thought he was here as well) selling 'universal' metal mechs that take anything. I think it's like 10-15 each...
