Had to look up "Skill Stop machine". It is basically a slot machine with 3 reels and 3 buttons that stop the reels, hence the "skill" part of the equation. Also called "Pachislo". Many companies advertise that such a machine can be converted to accept quarters. Some machines are designed to be easily converted, others may be more expensive. So, it depends entirely on what model machine you have. A quick search of google will reveal many such companies. http://www.google.com/search?q=Pachislo+quarters Note that converting the machine to accept quarters may be illegal, even if intended for home use only, in your state.

Funny that the top answer had to "Look it up" - it saddens me that Morons are allowed to provide answers...This is a fairly fine motor skill related task and is clearly defined in this link: http://www.gameroomslots.com/book.pdf Now, fix your machine and tell the other two chaps who answered that you question, at no time, requested a comment on the legal position of your state and that they should both go molest farm animals and refrain from attempting to enlighten us with poor knowledge.

i have had two skill stops and a few pinballs and arcade games. they generally run on the same type of coin op mechanism. as the coin travels through the shoot they pass three gates. one measures weight, one height, and one width. tokens are similar in all three to quarters but vary slightly. the coin mechanisms vary from machine to machine also, so you will have to play with it to figure out its workings. any time a coin does not fit the gate it is thrown into an eject shoot. or it gets stuck. pushing the eject or return button opens the gate allowing the coin to return to a tray. sometimes a simple minor tweek of a gate will work. other times you may have to add metal to hold a smaller coin in place until it passes the gate. one machine i did not have luck with had electronic sensors. i got the coin to pass the mechanical gate but the sensors threw the game into error mode. i have not found a way to bypass this system as of yet.
