more pics from the bending process....

7) first bending: the part that slips into the coindoor. Two steps: bend as far as possible, then take it out and press it with the machine
8 ) don't press too hard, leave a slot
9) bend here to limit the part straight away from the coindoor
10) this bending limits the part where the switch is installed
11) going downwards and straight back to the coindoor
12) tadaaa
13) pile o'brackets keeps growing :)

200 switches arrived yesterday....now I have to cut the wires and solder them to the switches  ::)


I found out that the brackets have sopme 'dirt' along the edges if you peel the protection layer. I think it's molded foilage or glue from the laser cutting. The former pieces had been cut the old-fashioned way, there was no dirt.

You can simply rub it away or use some window cleaner.

FYI :)

People complain about everything. Once a guy from UK complained about some remains of polishing stuff on a hollow joystick shaft...all he had to do is use a soft tissue to remove it and it shines like a mirror  ::)  So better tell the people in advance that there MIGHT be some dirt from the laser cutting ;)

OK, all the brackets have been sent (last 4 'letters' left on Saturday).

Hope you guys will be happy with them :)

If there's a problem, let me know.


Oh, one word about the switches....it's hard to get them in decent quality these days and I had some of those switches not working.
If it happens that you cannot get credits after installing the bracket and the switch, don't forget to check if the switch works!! ;)
Let me know if you have any non-workers and I will send replacement :)
