Help ID this coin door...
(1/4) > >>
jekbrown:
Hey gang.  I've recently purchased an old over/under style coin door from a member of this site and was wondering if anyone here could tell me anything about it.  What game, or games, it might have been used on originally...what type of coin mechs they use, or anything else.  It's going to end up being used on my first MAME cab and I like ultra-detailed writeups...so if you know anything at all about this type of door, I'd appreciate it if you could pass on the info.  :)  If the guy who assembled these in Timbuktu only had one leg, and you know it for a fact, I'd like to know it too.   ;)

Anyway, all I know from messing with it is that it has steel main doors and the little reject coin doors are steel also.  It has a cast aluminum frame, reject coin button housing and the frame around where the coin drops down is cast AL also.  It has Atari coin-reject buttons. 





closer up of the coin mechs...



Inside the top door, next to the coin mechs, is a small black sticker that says "Coin Controls Royton Oldham England Checked" on it.  The main door hinges are spot welded to the doors themselves, but attach to the frame with screws.

Can't think of anything else I can add that might help ID the beast.  So....whaddya think?

jekbrown:
oh cool!  If I might ask, what features identify it as such?   ???

It does look like the one in this not-so-good pic from klov...



...and this one too...



Alternatively, it also looks like one off of Star Wars...



which is from Atari.   ???  If it's from a Taito game and not an Atari game, what's the tip off?
Kevin Mullins:
That is about as generic of a Coin Controls style coin door as they come. Used on many,many different games by many different manufacturers.
Vigo:
Yep...very standard. The only thing you probably have to go off of is the Atari logo.
