Coin buttons
TurboJugend:
First post, so take it easy on me if this has been discussed before. Didn't find anything in search.
So anyway, after years of dreaming about building a mame cabinet I'm finally beginning to get serious about it. I've been thinking about my CP layout, and I had an idea which I thought might be kinda cool. You know how people used to line up quarters on the bezel to "call next". Well, I was thinking about putting my coin buttons on the bezel and maybe gluing a quarter on the top of them to replicate this look. Has this been done before? Do you think it would look cheesy? Any potential problems with doing this?
I'm a total noob on this stuff. I don't know electronics or woodworking, but I'm pretty handy and I plan on teaching myself as I go.
spoot:
The quarter ON the button or above the button?
TurboJugend:
On the button. So you would press the quarter to "insert a coin".

It's a cool idea. Something different.

I think Supercade or another popular cabinet had it done this way. If I get time, I'll search for it.
Yep, Supercade.
