2. Coin
Mechanism Multipliers
Since early
1980,
Atari has made available its new
coin
door
which
has either two or three
coin mecha-
nisms. All
recent Atari game PCBs identify
the dif-
ferent coin mechanisms in a certain pattern.
The right coin mechs are all the same
to the
game’s logic, regardless of whether
you have two or
three mechs in your door. In addition, the logic
sees
the
left mech in
a 2-mech door and the center mech
in
a
3-mech door
as
the
same
(refer
to
the diagram
to
the
right).
