First off, thanks for the encouragement. We’re glad that you have learned a lot from the videos and we hope that you continue to use our website as a learning tool.

Now to your question. Let’s just start off by saying that it’s the board, not the coin mechs, that control the amount of coins that the game requires per play. Coin mechs only determine what type of coin the game takes. With that said, you will need to adjust the dip switches on your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles board to set the game on free play. Check our our post on Adjusting Dip Switch Setting On A Board for more information. According to KLOV, you will need to switch the first four switches to the ON position on your first set of dip switches in order to set it to free play.

We have also featured your question on episode 22 of our Q&A podcast. Please listen to it for more of our thoughts on your question. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

While HAPP Controls is a great supplier, it’s possible that they sent you the wrong coin mechs. If you have tried adjusting them like we show in the video you might contact HAPP to see if they have a solution. You can also take a picture of it and email it to us if you would like us to assist you further.

Thanks for your compliments and let us know if there is anything more we can do to help you in the future.

It came with 2 Asahi coin mechs that were supposedly $0.25 mechs, but I think they are not. The cradle is much to wide, and a quarter slips right through to the return every time. A Canadian Loonie, by contrast, is just slightly too large in diameter for the cradle. I fear they may be set up for a large token or possibly Japanese currency.

Would you happen to have any advice on whether or not I can adjust the coin mech for quarters? Short of replacing or altering the cradle I can’t conceive of any solution myself.

Great website, thanks!
Dave

This is definitely something that we’re looking at doing in the future. Before we take on that project, however, we want to make sure that people have firm grasp on the basics of arcade repair. It’s good to know how an arcade game works with a board before moving on to using a computer.

Please watch for this topic in future posts and thank you for your interest in our site.

Could you please tell me how to construct a arcade machine using a computer tower and other necessary gadgets such as coinslots to work as one coin equals one credit, especially with the controls as up should function as up, down as down and so forth. Help would be much appreciated.
