Is there a trick to getting a Midway coin door to accept tokens?
I just bought 4 Any Coin mechs to try in 4 of my Midway games (Space Invaders, Pacman, Ms Pacman, and Gorf). I have about 500 used .984 tokens and 500 new, slightly thinner .984 tokens. I'm having limited success with the tokens making it through the coin switch slot without getting stuck. One side of Ms Pac works flawlessly, while the other side won't let the token get past the switch. Comparing both sides, the switch actuators appear to have the exact same bends. What am I missing? I have a party coming up in two weeks and I had hoped to have the games working on tokens so I don't have to worry about little hands going in the coin door to coin up. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I also have two new token mechs that do the same thing, so I'm sure it's an issue with the coin switch itself.
