So far, I've got half of my games set up for tokens. Over the last couple years, I've been able to purchase a few thousand tokens from various places and have also been able to procure a Rowe BC-35 locally, for cheap. There is a way to wire most all Rowe machines, regardless of model, so that you push the coin reject button and out spit some tokens(it's tied to the test button feature inside). The plan is to have them all on tokens with the changer setup so that you get the full arcade experience. With the Rowe machines, the hoppers are differently made to accept the different size ranges of tokens/quarters. Each are denoted on the front as to what sizes they are for. Hoppers can easily be swapped out, too. There are tokens that are slightly smaller or slightly larger than quarters and there are coin mechs made specifically for those sizes as well. Fairly easy to go with the smaller token size(.900) and convert the mechs over to that size and use a token changer/dispenser, too. When the time comes for a dispenser, there are lots of auction sites that regularly sell them throughout the year, just takes some Googling to find them. Good luck!

That's the style machine I eventually want to end up with, the BC25. My BC35 is the blue/white kind with the full flat top. It's fine and all, but I'm much more into the mid-'80s and prior look, which means wood appliqué. The more the merrier! The thing I never realized about them is what a heavy beast they are! As for the tokens, that's why I bought the huge lots of old tokens that were either generic to begin with, or don't mean anything to me. So, I'm not really worried if a few of them happen to walk off over time. Besides, I know everybody who comes over to play really well and I know where they live. I shouldn't have any issue recovering them if necessary.
