Hi everybody.
Since we didn't want to buy thousands of tokens that we would need during a 5-hour-party and we also didn't want to have burnt-in screens from the "Press 1-Player or 2-Player..."-screen that most PCBs show in Freeplay-mode, we wanted to add credit buttons. And since we didn't want to drill holes into our beloved original cabs, I designed and made some brackets. They are attached to the edge of the coindoor. The part that slides into the egde can simply be pressed together so it doesn't move anymore. It's not necessary but it can be done. Or I can provide some thin silicon mat to keep the bracket from sliding along the coindoor. This would also protect the coin door.
The brackets have got a hole of 7.5mm. You can add a mini button like in the picture. The cables can go through the coin insert and be attached to the microswitch or directly to the pcb-connector.
I can also provide small black stickers (35x35mm) with a yellow sign "CREDIT".
The brackets are handmade. I cut the stripes from stainless steel. I drill the holes. Then I bend them. Finally I sand them with three grades of sanding paper. I can also polish them (to a decent degree) if you wish.
Just wanted to know if there is interest for such brackets for - let's say - something between 2 and 3 USD each (the bracket with the sticker). I can also provide the switch with 50cm-wires if you wish.
