Are these for some of the machines that you don't own?

Don't forget, it was perfectly normal to put one coin in at a time. The all-mechanical bandits only accepted one coin per play, and the electro-mechanicals simply followed suit.

Removing credit counters for single coin credit on electro's was simply to avoid tube starvation. With the credit counter that could hold a vast amount of credit and the later introduction of the 50p coin for change, if the machine went into a high sequence of payouts there would be the chance of very little amounts of coins going back into the tubes to refill so run empty, Most electro AWPs especially only held £14 in 10p coins. Adding strimming which became a serious problem on the S1 mechs so a credit counter would assist many a scammer. Pub landlords in the 70s were culprits for not helping tube starvation by using the 50p mech for change, the 50p for 1 credit and 40p change was brought in to help deter them. Although good for holding multiple credits, credit counters did have a drawback of regularly sticking either preventing the correct credits being added or the subtract solenoid jamming, even return spring breaking would prevent the count down of credits resulting in free plays. If you wanted to make an electro with single coin entry machine into multiple without adding electronic circuits you would virtually have to either add a relay and timer switch for each credit or a rotary stepper unit.

My homers meltdown did this and it was the PSU😉

here is another good one! see this today in a junk shop type shop! so asked how much!!! (as you do) £2000 as is was the answer! well needless to say I did not buy it! that's the price it would fetch restored! not the price as it stands with all that nasty white mould on the woodwork under the glass!! chrome metalwork on the playfield was rusty! I never bothered to ask if it actually worked! if it did the mpu would be full of battery rot too! so decided to leave it lol!
