Using mounting feet keeps the board stable while also allowing airflow beneath the PCB, which can help reduce heat buildup during operation. Kit Includes 4 white PCB mounting feet 4 mounting screws Installation Notes Designed to raise the PCB off the mounting surface for protection Helps prevent shorts and accidental contact with cabinet hardware Recommended for arcade PCB installations, repairs, and restorations We recommend using these mounting feet whenever installing or replacing an arcade PCB to ensure the board is properly supported and secured inside the cabinet.
Easy CoinUp (E.C.U.) — Quarter-Style Coin-Up Switch It Just Makes Sense! We’ve all seen it: a loose switch dangling from the coin door, or a hole drilled in the cabinet just to add credits. Many games offer a Free Play mode, but some disable attract sounds or visuals—so passers-by never see or hear the game in action. Easy CoinUp fixes that. It’s a pushbutton that looks like a quarter, so everyone knows exactly what it does: add a credit. Installation is simple and causes no permanent damage beyond applying adhesive to the metal coin door. Installation Instructions (Quick & Easy) Peel the backing liner and apply the E.C.U. where you want it mounted. Wrap the “tail” around the coin door, pressing firmly so the adhesive bonds (industrial 3M 300LSE—once it sticks, it sticks). Peel the second liner and apply the “Quarter” overlay to the front of the switch. Solder two wires from the tail’s solder pads to the machine’s coin switch. The E.C.U. is a membrane SPST switch; your machine must expect a single circuit closure (typical for most arcade and pinball machines). Insulate the E.C.U. pins with electrical tape after soldering so they can’t touch grounded metal or other circuits. Note: Installation requires basic soldering. Tips & Tricks Thoroughly clean the mounting area; finish with rubbing alcohol and let it evaporate. Mount near the “Insert Coin” slots so players find it quickly. Avoid high-friction spots on the coin door; look for rubbed paint or scratches and choose a smoother area. If the conductive circuit in the tail is worn through, the switch will stop working—route and secure it thoughtfully. Keep out of reach of children—they may peel or try to swallow the parts.

8035 8-Bit Microcontroller (Sound CPU, 40-Pin DIP) The 8035 is an 8-bit microcontroller from the Intel MCS-48 family that was commonly used as the sound CPU on classic arcade PCBs. This processor manages audio control, timing signals, and communication with the sound hardware that generates music and sound effects during gameplay. In many arcade boards, the 8035 operates alongside the main game processor and is dedicated to handling audio-related tasks. By separating sound processing from the main CPU, arcade hardware was able to deliver more complex sound effects and music while maintaining smooth gameplay performance. The chip uses a standard 40-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) and installs into a compatible socket on the arcade PCB. Because the sound CPU is critical for proper audio operation, the 8035 is often replaced during troubleshooting and restoration of classic arcade boards.
