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.
