I have a restored arcade cabinet which I've converted to be a MAME machine.
I'm using an I-PAC to link up the controls to the PC within.
One thing that I don't currently have, however, is a working coin mechanism.
I've never been particularly bothered by this, but lately I've been thinking
that it would be a nice thing to have if I could pick one up cheap.
But I'm not sure how I'd go about wiring this into my cabinet. I know
there's a connection on the I-PAC for the coin input, but is it actually
feasible to connect this up to a real coin mechanism? Would the coin
mechanism need to be powered, and if so how would I achieve this?
I don't really know anything about the mechanism at the moment so any advice
or information anyone can provide would be gratefully received.
My thanks in advance,
