Product Description
This is a basic mechanical acceptor. The coin is measured for diameter, width and metal content. If the coin is accepted it passes a microswitch with Common, Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts, which in turn will give a credit to your game. Ideal for home arcade cabinet builds or as a replacement mech for older machines. This mech can be used for a wide variety of applications that require a coin input to operate and it is very reliable compared to the more advanced coin mechs.
Some of our customers have used these for operating snooker table lights, model trains, public toilets and kiddie rides.
The mech will also connect to a Mini-PAC or I-PAC. It is very easy to install - just take the coin signal wire from your appliance and connect to the NO (Normally Open) microswitch terminal on the back of the mech. Connect the ground wire to the CO (Common Ground) terminal on the microswitch and that's it! It is an ideal mech for first time cabinet builders and more experienced arcade cab builders. This is the same mech that many of the arcade machines in the 80's used. Give your home arcade cabinet a real retro feel and turn your machine into a giant money box at the same time!
