The wire hanger


Cobra Kai

Recommended Posts

I know for a fact I'm not the only one who did this, because I learned it from someone else during the 80's. Just how widespread was this 'trick' of using a 6" piece of wire hanger to jimmy free credits in very specific holes in the coin slot door? 

 

looking back, I'm fairly certain that a good amount of arcade proprietors either didn't know this was happening, or they did know, but it wasn't an easy thing to find replacement coin slots that were jimmy proof. Eventually, those specific coin slots would disappear from the arcades, smartly.
