Muzac Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi everyone, I have a wonderful 1978 SS Sinbad pinball machine that I am going to put in my bar in the Adelaide CBD. I currently have a 91 Williams Hurricane in there but it's time for a change. I am going to replace one of the 2 x $20 coin mechs that are a bit dodgy and put a $1 coin mech on it instead. I think for an SS Sinbad it is fair to charge $1 for three credits considering most pinny's these days are $1 for one credit! Does any one know how to wire up a new mech in an old machine and if it is possible? FYI I have a Rotten Dog power supply board, a Pascal CPU & the original power driver board. Any advice would be great! Cheers. Sent from my iPad using Aussie Arcade Sent from my iPad using Aussie Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pinbologist Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 You should be able to find a $1 coin mech that'll clip straight into the coin door.. no need to change anything the machine. In the past when i some of my games sited in pubs/shops i'd actually modified 20c mechs to accept $1 coins, though its a LOT of fart arseing around to do it as it involved reshaping the cradle that catches the coin and changing its counter weight.

wiredoug Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 the manual has all the switches you need to change over. SW19 -> on if you want to make both chutes the 'same'. SW1,2,3,4 -> off, off, on , off is 1 coin 3 credits if you buy rolldowns make sure 10c wont trigger them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I can set them electronically in the Pascal menu. One thing I struggled to find was how to set up the machine so it wasn't on free play, I'll work on that. Would this do the job? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PINBALL-ARCADE-MACHINE-1-00-COIN-MECH-LQQK-/222310739015?hash=item33c2c0ac47:g:crQAAOSwmLlX6R~W Sent from my iPad using Aussie Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I struggled to find was how to set up the machine so it wasn't on free play, you didnt mention the pascal ... read the pascal manual and it will become obvious http://www.flippp.fr/media/manual/manual_PI-1X4_en.pdf bottom of p28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzac Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Cheers mate, missed that paragraph for some reason. Did you happen to have a squizz at that mech I found on eBay? Any good? Sent from my iPad using Aussie Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzac Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 cant comment on that specific model mech but you're on the right track Of course, I was just wondering if it would actually work on my machine at all! Thanks again, really appreciate your time & everyone else's. Cheers! Sent from my iPad using Aussie Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzac Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Sinbad SS coin mech upgrade Just saw this! The bar is called "The Jade" and is at 160 Flinders st, Adelaide. We're in the manse of the old St Pauls Church. When I've got the baby in place I'll let you all know! The Hurricane is there but needs a bit of a fix as the fan belt for the Ferris wheel just broke!
