They are made by several manufacturers and are available at most electronic suppliers. You may want to search for NE555 or LM555. Also, a lot of companies make kits with 555 timers on them - **broken link removed**thanks..it is just two simple small motors but i want them to turn on with the coin mechanism. I did look up cam timers,,,,i will find a 555 timer,,where?
i appreciate the help,
I wouldn’t advice you to even look at 555-timer (or like) based coin-operated system simply because they are not reliable ..
Users try to disconnect power, or re-set it some how, or disrupt power and only microcontroller-based circuits can cope with those manipulations ..
Don’t go backwards and into troubles ..
