Shout out to Love For Claw Machines and Xtreme Vending - they did it first and we never would have figured out how to do this without them having their own videos out there on the subject.

Great job and very informative video! I always place the antenna out the back of the machine and outside onto the top of the mega prize box for the best reception.

Thanks for watching! We have also considered doing that with our antenna recently with some of our locations having issues getting signals.

One pointer with the delicate wires, it's usually a bit easier to hold the blade on the wire and then push in slightly with your finger while rolling the wire along the blade so you make a small incision around the entire wire. Hopefully, that makes sense what I'm trying to say haha, and it is still a bit difficult to do (easier said than done) but might be beneficial in the future.

We'll give this a try next time! Someone recommended wire strippers too but I'm not sure how they would do with just thin wires. 😬

Great video TTH :)

Rainny makes it easy the hard part is connecting the wires

She really did make the whole process super straightforward for those who want to do it themselves! The shrink tubing helped to keep the wires together thankfully. 😅

Thanks you two, just received my 6 new minis and will be trying my luck with installing CC readers soon. Keep it up!

Of course! It's been on the back burner for longer than we'd like to admit, we got so caught up in placing the other minis that we forgot this was on our to do list! Glad it was helpful!

22:40 I was hoping you guys would have tested it lastly

We meant to! :( Realized while editing that we didn't have any footage, but luckily things are up and running!

Absolutely amazing video, question that mega mini is it a 12 inch or 14 inch? Thank you.
