First of all, I'm amazed at how low tech some of this stuff is. I had no idea when I was just a lowly player rather than an arcade game owner. I mean a quarter falls through a hole and moves a tiny metal arm to register a "credit" on the game.
Anyway, I was tinkering with my coin mech last night and finally have it set up to accept quarters. The only thing is that the quarter just misses tiny metal actuator arm and doesn't register a credit. If I manually trip the actuator arm the game does register a credit, so I know that bit works.
My actuator arm seems to be bent a little bit, and not quite in the right position. Does anybody have pictures of how it should look?
Do people replace these wire arms? I did see a thread on here about using a paper clip. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks,
Paul
