My first skill stop machine for xmas

[antinull]

So, heres another question, i have a lot of smaller tokens (about 2,500) that i use for my arcade machine, is it possible to adapt this machine to take them?

[Meathead]

That depends upon the size of the token and your coin mech in that machine. A few of the coin acceptors have rails that can be adjusted, others are fixed. I wouldn't recommend that route. If you are successful, you must still consider whether the hopper will spit out that size coin reliably.

You might consider changing the arcade machine coin acceptor to fit .984 tokens?



You might consider going the other route and

I've never seen that one.

idylukewild got one with a replacement bellyglass and had to get the real deal from Japan a while back

the arcade mechs used to be for quarters, i rigged it to take any coin (took half of the mechs off) of course dimes rarely register lol, but i had the tokens laying around

[antinull]

Someone mentioned to me that there might be a switch or button that will eject all of the coins, im hard pressed to find one...
any ideas?

[dattia]

It should be the cancel/credit button. Sometimes they have to be held in for a short time before dumping the credits. Unless you mean the hopper. Someone else will have to answer that.

Here is a pic of the smaller tokens i have about 2500 of
they are the starbuck's ones



and yes i meant a button/switch to empty the hopper, i cant find it lol

GAK has dual volume controls , so you would only need 2. you need about 1200 tokins

well i think ive decided to buy 1,500 of the bi-metal tokens from ebay
gonna cost me $80-shipped is there a cheaper way? lol

[antinull]

So, it looks like my hopper has absolutely no problem with the starbucks tokens, i found this out because i was in bonus mode and was getting quite angry about re-filling my 100 tokens
It spat about 300 tokens and didnt jam at all

now, how to credit up with them lol...

[antinull]

looks like the starbucks tokens are 23 mm

[antinull]

Okay, Awesome i figured out how to get it to take the slightly smaller tokens ^_^
YAY i can play with thousands of tokens now yay!

i was wondering if anyone knows where i can have pictures translated from japanese to english?
i want to find out what some of the writing on the machine says now

I'm glad to see your machine is now able to run on those tokens .Its great to see what one can do if you have the resources and a need to do it .Would have been a waste if you had to order new ones .Besides i'm sure your wife is glad their doing something instead of just sitting there . I know mine would be ...
