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.
DK / DK Jr. Pin-Harness to Card-Edge Adapter This adapter converts the original pin-style cabinet wiring harness found in classic Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. cabinets to the newer card-edge connector used on later Nintendo board sets—making swaps and upgrades fast and reversible. Key Features Direct, plug-in conversion from pin-header harness to card-edge connector. No cutting or permanent changes to the original cabinet wiring. Clean signal routing for power, video, audio, and controls. Keyed/marked orientation to help prevent mis-connection. Compatibility Cabinets: Nintendo DK and DK Jr. with pin-style harness. Boards: Later Nintendo board sets using a card-edge connector (verify your specific PCB before installation). Installation Notes Power off the cabinet before connecting or removing the adapter. Match orientation/keys and seat connectors fully; avoid forcing the edge. No soldering required for standard harnesses. Tip: Check your cabinet’s wiring diagram and the target PCB pinout to confirm signal order before first power-on.
