Road Hog Mad Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 So rather than pay for a pay out tray (£15 off eBay) and have it sticking out, why not make one from the wood left over? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy it when the wife watches series. Not so sure about what she watched though 'my lover is a killer' lol. Need some cheap hoppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Hog Mad Posted January 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Installed coin mech today, literally a fag papers thickness for gaps lol, so either extreme good luck or I'm an expert measurer. I had no coin mech holder so had to make my own, the coin mech is held in via 2 screws going through the side of the cab. Easily removable. I had to do a bit of hacking but have some black type of filler from the Taliban Shop (probably plastic explosive lol), but when it's glossed you won't notice A BIG thank you to BF74 (Ron) from the Mecca for re-programming the mech and giving me the black coin entry facer. Highly recommended this guy! *As there is a little gap at the bottom of the coin mech facer I may add a little sticker showing £1, 50p, 20p & 10p (this machine accepts.....) @Reg @woodsy @cja272 May do a cat video in a few days for you all Edited January 29, 2022 by Road Hog Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsy Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Would you recommend I made a mfme keyboard before cabinet? That’s what I’m thinking as I don’t want to ruin my laptop as a start point haha living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m thinking as I don’t want to ruin my laptop as a start point haha Yes, definitely. Especially if you have some cheap materials that you can use for the project. The buttons and everything else you buy can be transferrable to a new cab later. By doing this, you can make sure you figure out how the ipac and pacdrive get wired up and test all that first. I made a button box for my friend who was really keen to get a cab like mine but didn't have the space for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
