Coin Return as a button?

(1/2) > >>

FrizzleFried:
Has anyone wired up the coin return as a button? 

I was considering wiring the left and right coin returns as buttons and then using them as the "credit 1" and "credit 2" buttons for my mame cabinet...

...nevermind...found a couple links!   That said...if you have a good way of accomplishing this,  please speak up.

Borkunit:
I was thinking about doing the same... Can you post the links you found on the topic?

Thanks!

squirrellydw:
yes please post.  I have seen posts on it but nothing saying how to do it.

Yup.....
The method I used without adding an extra microswitch is a mechanical one.... This is what I did with mine, which actually has no mech at all.



The brass wire running from the red reject lever down to the bottom microswitch, acivates the switch, when you press the reject, just as though a coin had passed it. So you can either put a coin in which gives you 1 Credit or push the reject button which also gives you 1 credit. I don't usually tell my friends about the reject button till they've stuck a few coins in there,  >:D >:D >:D....

You might have to route the wire differently to avoid your coin mech, if you have one installed.

Sorry the picture is a bit rough. it's the only one I have from before it was installed.

Are you talking about that brass wire in the middle of the coin door?  If so any idea where you got it?  That seems to easy, no wiring or anything.  How is it connected to the reject button?
