Title: Coin Mechanism
Post by: simplesi on January 08, 2012, 11:53:17 AM

I have a coin door (Taito Space Invaders... thanks Liquidx), it has all the internal mechanisms, light bulbs, eject, etc. However there are no coin mechs. There are chutes to lead into something. Can anyone please advise me on what I need. I think it is an S10.

I will post pics shortly.

Hi Ully,

I would love any UK denomination... think 20p is the best. I only want it for one of the doors as I do not need two. I am just confused on the fitting and fixture of them. Can you tell me if it is an S10 mech?

Thanks,

Si

As you can see the chutes, eject, etc are all there. I just need to know what mech would fit.

I posted a bunch of pics from my SI here (http://www.thisisbang.com/arcade/spaceinvaders_coinmech.zip).
Hope this helps!

You're welcome.
I was very careful not to show any part of the gameroom in the pics because atm it's really a mess in there. I'm too ashamed to show that to the world :)
Do you want me to make repro key of mine for you? Not sure this will work.

Does anyone have one or two spare screw-type things that hold a coin acceptor into the mechanism?
