| How good are these super-cheap coin acceptors? |

is there a way to take those "sampler" coin mech and accept "any coin" for those with various different coins? I am thinking this might be a cheap alternative to coin doors and still keep a somewhat classy look. But I think their outsides are made of plastic. :( |

For nine bucks, I'd say go for it. That's not much to loose. Even if it's a plastic front, you could always refinish that in some fashion. |

Does anybody else have any experience with them? Or do people here only buy expensive stuff? --- End quote --- lol.. man there ain't nothing wrong with that.. they just look like they've belong on a gumball machine or something. i dont have a problem with them being made of plastic the style just is'nt what you would expect on a arcade cab. i know you're on a budget if you could stretch that a little you could probably have gotten a used door for 15-25, plus another 5-10 for sanding/repaint.. maybe less. but let us know how they work, i heard they're not to bad other then the style i think they'll work for your purpose. EDIT: i take that back i have no idea what the hell you're building ( i just assumed arcade cab) i think these would look ok on a bartop, wallmount, or maybe a cocktail. |

O boy they are fugly! Even if they are 9 bucks. Either you pay zip, nada, noppes, and have no coin (it's illegal to use them for profit anyway, and for personal play I would not want to drop in a coin every play), or pay double and have the decent looking stainless minimalist ones from Jan Fleck for example. |

it is part of the arcade experience to put coins in the machine, profit or not. I woudln't want a machine that doesn't require me to put in some coins even if I know I can open the door and get them back for more games. that's just me. I am wondering how good these doors are, for 2 coins they almost compare in price: http://www.arcadeemulator.net/cgi-bin/shop/cp-app.cgi?usr=51F1669456&rnd=3458558&rrc=N&affl=&cip=&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=Small+Door+and+Frame+Assembly+&cat=Coin+Doors&catstr=HOME:Coin+Doors |
