Chang game from .25 to .05

[IFFV68]

What is the easiest way to change your game from .25 to .05 on a S+ 1994 machine?
Is it, change the coin head to .05 7 replace the hopper from one that gives out .25 to a hopper that gives out .05?
If this is true, then I will have to post on Want to Buy.

You don't need a whole nickel hopper but it would make denomination changes much easier.
To change a hopper from a .25 cent to a .05 cent hopper - all you need is a nickel shelf
and adjust the knife so it sits on top of the shelf to pick up the nickels that travel over it.

Quarters are thinner than nickels so the slot needs to be changed.
They won't slide in...I've seen people stick a thin washer in between
with the screws holding the back plate a touch loose.
I remember someone selling a nickel conversion kit on fleabay but I don't know who.
I'd place an ad in the classifieds section of NLG for this stuff! 

Finally, you need the proper SET chip for your SP game chip to set the denomination to a nickel.

If your machine is a slant top, you'll need a new escalator for the coins, too.

Also, you need the SET chip that Bunker mentioned if you have a bill validator -- you don't need it if there's no validator.
