Coin Mech

Steve X2

I'm planning on building up an arcade machine of some sort later in the year, I hope.
I was wondering if anyone here has built one that uses a coin mech and how easy is it to adjust the weight of the coins excepted?

Basically I have some arcade tokens from Japan that I want to use and they are fairly light and not as heavy as a normal Euro coin.

Im pretty sure they have a slot on the inside you stick a coin in, and the ones you insert then have to match that one?

Really! That's kind of cool.

Im sure thats how they work, check and make sure though before you buy, there may be different types.

Yeah I will. It will be a while before I get to that stage anyway so was just wondering. Have to decide what type of machine to build first, and how.

I was in the same position as you, albeit with no experience with woodwork etc. Im nearly finished my one now. hopefully be done in the next month.

As Keithgeo said, you place the coin inside to set the size.
