    Use the plastic Imonex ones. The metal ones would reject coins unless the game was nearly flat. The plastic Imonex ones are tanks and they hardly ever jam.

    Quoted from Coyote:

    Keep in mind, there's a reason for that -
    The 'plastic' ones are more susceptible to slugs, allowing fake coins in to be credited. The metal ones are tighter on security, hence why they (sometimes/often) need to be adjusted for use in a pinball.
    So, depending on where you're going to be using your game - Is this for home? For a location? If a location, how nice is the neighborhood? - decide accordingly

    I tried adjusting them but it’s the little “weight scale” test where it will tip the coin at one point if it’s good, but often in a pinball machine when the door is closed the angle is too steep and it will always dump into the reject slot. I’ve tried shimming and adjusting and on advice from other operators, just switched to the plastic ones. They take tokens and quarters just fine and have yet to have issues with slugs. It’s only on 50¢ so if they’re that cheap then I can’t help!
