What is the purpose of a Slam switch?

<< < (4/5) > >>

rohan:
The version I'm referring to was an upright SI, but I think the cocktails had the same coindoors.  I actually feel bad when I do this because arcades make such little money as it is, and games are only one token.  They're pretty cool tokens at that:

whammoed:
Those are cool tokens...If I paypal you some $ will you send me a few (at your leisure)?

here is a picture of the slam switch on my centipede coindoor

the orientation is wrong - should be rotated 90 anticlockwise

the weighted actuator hangs downwards

presumably when the door is slammed it will swing and activate the switch

Ken Layton:
That slam switch with the blue microswitch must be for a foreign coin door. In all my years of coin machine repair, I've never seen one setup like that. All USA coin doors use a leaf switch with a weight on the end as a slam switch.

rchadd:
the coindoor was either from UK or Germany
