Oh, you're in the UK?  Nevermind, then, the shipping would kill it.   :o

Edit. Also how would wiring a coin box to the start button work? I dont want to know how to do it im just wondering how will this make it so i have to pay to play?

Well, it would just make it so you would have to use a coin to "press" the start button.  May not be a good solution.  A coin switch is the same as any other switch, it just has a ground and a signal wire.

Well if you wanted to get really swanky you could rig up a little circuit where coin drops increment a counter, and an arcade-style start button does nothing when the counter is zero, otherwise it sends the actual start button press for the game and decrements the counter...   :lol  It could be done.  Worth the trouble?  Probably not, but might be cool.
