coin controls partly responsible for industry crash? (i think so)
it is my opinion that coin controls is at least 25% plus responsible for the commercial coin op amusement indusry demise.
thier coin mechs and doors are so horrid its unreal, the mechs work for a short time only, then the quarters get hung up intermittedly in the mech after that for life, (even after clean and adjust) that leads to coin jams up the jing jang, then the door itself and its innards are made of thin pot metal, and thin plastic, it readily bends and or the plastic coin rejects break when a pissed customer kicks the door, or even just hitting the reject button normally, that leads to even more jam ups after the tech clears the existing jam, (since now the alighnment for everything is off, or plastic parts broke) which in turn leads to a never ending circle of coin jams and foul ups
this condition as a whole contributed largely to big decreases in revenue and customer disssatisfaction with coin op.
the coin mech doors and mechs as well as happs are a dream compared to coin controls, (although i think the old style coin mech and its metal mechs are best, i have 15-30 yr old coin mech doors and mechs which perform 20x better than old or new coin controls junk)
thanx manufacterures for outfitting most of the coin doors out there with coin CONTROLS brand, you saved $10 per, but cost yourself and us the whole biz in the process
coin controls doors and mechs are barley acceptable for home use, i never use them when i have a choice for commercial locations.
