: The coin ejector button is for when a coin gets stuck in the mech. If the coin is the wrong size the mech will drop it into the "coin return" automatically. Since the coin switch is only activated after a coin is accepted by the mech and drops out the botton, there is nothing done when the coin is rejected. It isn't counted and doesn't trip any switch.

That makes sense. Once a coin is accepted it isn't returned! I guess you can tell it's been a while since I've been in an arcade :-D

: Actually I would recommend the Imonex $.25, .882 & .900" Token Mech (part #42-6901-00) instead. It will accept tokens smaller than a quarter and will also accept them a bit larger (like the Chuck E Cheese tokens). You can find cheap used tokens on Ebay as well. I have a pair of these coin mechs and they work flawlessly. The Imonex mechs will accept either tokens or quarters (no changing stuff to get them to work).

Sounds like this Imonex is the way to go.

Thanks again for your help. Hopefully someone will put one in good condition up on eBay so I won't have to break down and buy a brand new one.
