Colnbox control
Utec , Inc ., has announced a new
solid-state coinbox-control system
designed as a plug-in module.
The coin sensor is customer
adjustable for any size coin from 10
cents to a dollar. Magnetic-oriented
slugs are sensed and fail to activate the
control circuit. The standard adjust-
able time cycle is from 30 seconds to
six minutes.
When solid-state sound is incorpo-
rated in the control system, a volume
control is furnished . Small LED lights
indicate the power-on, slugs, and the
time cycle, and an electro-mechanical
counter counts each time cycle. The
power-supply voltage can be either
100 VAC or 12 VAC.
The coinbox is adaptable to and

measuring four by six inches. Welded
to the base of the ride , it requires no
further security covers.
The control system was designed
for Utec kiddie rides , but has other
applications in the coin-op industry.
