I'd love to get my hands on an Owl-eye Coin door: I think they look awesome, and so different from the norm! There are a lot of styles of coin doors you can go for. They all use the same type of mechs...my suggestion would be to find one that suits your taste in terms of looks and refurbish/restore it. |

Owl eye doors rock ... wait a minute ... that looks like my countertop, but it can't be ... :dizzy: There are a couple of articles about refurbing old coin doors in the Restoration page of the BYOACWiki. |

I took the impatient route and got a new 4 player door, and put in four Canadian quarter mechs. One thing I learned doing this, is that the mechs are easy to swap in and out. And the switch that fires when a coin is accepted is independent of the mechs (it comes as part of the door itself). It's much like the switches in most buttons, and under most joysticks, in that it has a common, NO, and NC. This makes it really easy to wire these to your keyboard encoder and trigger Mame. If I had to do it all over again, I'd consider token mechs. While I do have a bucket of quarters ready to be used, I can imagine a day when a group of younger ones want to play, and decide that the quarters have more appeal than the games. Tokens would be far less likely to walk away en masse - I'm guessing. And those BYOAC tokens look cool - if you can get them. |

There's no need to buy multiple mechs, unless you want to have a bunch of pre-configured ones that you can pop in and out... |
