There is anywhere from about ten to fifteen bucks worth of quarters in the Street Fighter II cab I acquired recently but I can't get to the dough. It's one of those Dynamo cabs that has the PCB tray that pulls out with the control panel. The money is at the bottom of the cabinet in the back corner... There is no way to "reach" the bottom... any ideas?

...and no, quarters aren't magnetic.
 
All I did was take 4 screws out from the back of the cabinet.I opened the control panel and slid it forward.Then I got a stick and pushed all the quarters to the back of the cab.Then I just grabbed them from the back.It was not easy but I got 7.50 from Caveman Ninja :)
 
just take off the coin door and collect away
i just retrived enough tokens from a cut corner dynamo to fill an entire hopper on my change machine that way

i guess if you have really short arm syour scrwed but i had no problem doing it that way

Unplug the tray and it comes right out
 
Put a piece of chewed-up bubble gum on the end of your pecker... you should have plenty of reach that way....
 
If its got a standard AT style power supply at the bottom..4 screws and push in the power supply, then use a shop vac with a long hose to suck em up, or lean the cab back to roll them all towards the back.
 
Clean out your shop vac, then vacuum them up, then empty the shop vac.


Or - lay the game on it's side, then roll it to the front, then back to the same side, then reach in through the coin door and pick them up from the front corner....

Heres what I used to do with those.

Remove the tray from the game, remove the glass from the game, remove anything else thats not screwed down! Then, put the game on its FACE on the floor then lift it up until the bottom is up in the air. All of the crap thats in the cab will come sliding out of the opening where the tray was.

I pulled about $400.00 out of the bottom of one of those red Street Fighter II cabs doing that.

Or while it's on it's side, get your 3" hole saw and cut a drain hole in the back corner. Then just stand it up and play tilt the money out.

That should be good for working a couple of pounds off if the weather is warm. :D

I had a bunch of shit in my cut corner dynamo...

Tokens, ball pit balls etct...

I got the tokens out by simply reaching around through the coin door.

Then maybe giving it a good shake to loosen more and get them where i could reach.
