cja272 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hi , after reading about all the people making a cabinets at the moment i thought i would have a go myself , to start with i thought i would get a hopper and coin mech and see if i could get them to work first , ive already have an i pac and pacdrive working from my button box which i made last year. so could anyone just quickly check these links and tell me if these are ok and would work before i order please?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265364438392 coin mech https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264420861371?hash=item3d90b625bb:g:VWMAAOSwJqlgGCEN hopper on 12v @No1Stoney Many thanks, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 So coin mech, I have an SR5i. I brought mine from arcade-clearance on eBay and he set it up for me as per my instructions. Looks like he still has some for sale... https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/arcade-clearance/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= ...worth reaching out to him - known seller that does what he says and might help if you tell him what your're doing and that he did one special ( that he sold two of two back in September last year for the Token configuration ). THE HOPPER IS WRONG - YOU NEED A PARALLEL ONE This looks ok... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255305399790?hash=item3b71633dee:g:8mgAAOSwKpphzdg3 ...this was the one I brought. No idea why they've adjusted the listing to that price but that was the listing below. ...but this is the company as I listed and the same by the looks. If you coin for the coin mech I showed, this is how it was setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1Stoney Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hi @cja272, @Reg has already perfectly summed up your questions but just to also confirm, the coin mech you are looking at on ebay is also fine to use. Sr5 are wired up the same way @woodsy yes it is great to see all these new cabinets coming to life. What else is there to do in January anyway??.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cja272 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thanks @Reg and everybody else, so i have the following coin mech -( ordered from Reg recommendation) Hopper - (ordered from Reg recommendation) I pac - Already have one Pacdrive _ already have one Also have working led buttons from the button box i have already. Now as the hopper is 24v i need some sort of 24v power supply ?? Also do i need some connectors to connect the wires to the hopper and coin mech???? As i said already im just going to see if i can get the hopper and coin mech working first before i progress any further. Is there anything else e need please ??? many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1Stoney Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) The 24v azkoyen will still work on 12v albeit marginly slower spin speed. Both mine are running 12v and honestly you can't tell at all https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/620pcs-Dupont-Wire-Pin-Header-Connector-Housing-Kit-M-F-Crimp-Pins-/223621932363?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 the 5x2 connector in this set is perfect for the hopper too. Probably able to find the connector separately though. Edited January 15, 2022 by No1Stoney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cja272 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thanks I have a power supply which 12v so that is sorted too now So what do you use to connect the wires to the coin mech please is there some sort of special connector that will fit ????

Look for dupont kits/wires on ebay. They are quite useful for connecting wires to the pins on the coin mech and the hopper Edited January 15, 2022 by No1Stoney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both mine are running 12v and honestly you can't tell at all @cja272 Worth calling out I think that mine did not work correctly with 12v. You might be unluckly and have to introduce a 24v PSU - but I am probabaly the exception here as more have worked at 12v then have not. The important thing is - if it's not playing ball as you'd expect - just be aware that mine experience was also the same. It is documented elsewhere and is an easy fix if you encounter this. Don't just go thinking something's broken when it's not ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't just go thinking something's broken when it's not ! Ah yes, I do remember yours not working on 12v. Not sure why exactly. I have 4, all different from one another (one says 12v & 24v the others only say 24v) but they all drive from 12v. So yes, @cja272you MAY need a 24v supply if your 12v fails to drive it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 This is the type I've used in my first cab. The second cab as I harvested it to build the MFME cab actually had one inside. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162598314373?epid=22005782050&hash=item25db9d6185:g:11QAAOSwohVcG6Uw The option I marked should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
