Coin op mechanism

[bondi]

Hi There.
I was hoping someone might have a little advice for me.
I Currently have a table where the coin op system runs on the old 5p does anyone know someone who can convert this to run on pound coins?

Cheers.

Hi bondi and welcome to the Forum.

Re: your query on adapting to accept a different-size coin, I believe it will be possible for you to do this for yourself.

Have a look at the thread on this (Table Maintenance & Repair) board called "Coin Mech Question" which deals with how to make a table 'freeplay' and gives a link to a moving graphic of a standard timer.

Basically, there are two floating screws which can be moved backwards or forwards to accommodate different coin sizes. The 'prongs' (controlled by the screws) form the back end of the coin 'bed'  which the coin rests in when dropped through the slot. Then when the handle is pulled the prongs are lifted slightly, the coin drops, the bar lifts and the timer is activated.

I hope I've got this right, and if I haven't I'm sure that Sav (our Forum Owner) will be in shortly to give a more precise instruction !
