What do you use for a cash box?
« on: June 04, 2012, 09:50:18 am »
I was just wondering what you guys are using for your cash box?  My over/under came without the cash box, so I'm looking for other alternatives.

Anyone make one?

Anyone re-purpose something else (like tupperware)?

Old shoebox?

Spitoon?

Tupperware with a layer of quarter's already on the bottom, so you get that satisfying 'clink!'.

I use tupperware it is the only thing I have low enough for the pinball machine.  I will eventualy make a custom box but that is low on the priority list.

Bob Roberts sells the cash boxes for over/under doors for $6. Picked up one from him recently.

When I had a coin door installed, I used a small metal loaf pan. Like $1 at a Salvation Army, I think?

Yep. That's what I ended up with. Loaf pan from dollar general. 1 buck and it is the exact dimensions as a happ except the height. I'm going to glue down some post 86 pennies on the bottom for a better "thunk".

the dynamo I bought had a laundry detergent bottle cut in half.  I replaced it with a normal coin door tub

I believe the PONG prototype originally used a loaf pan, so you may be onto something.

Boomstick, I love your coin box assembly.  No mechs to worry about :D

What I have done is purchased a 8" cake/loaf pan and drilled a hole in it near the top. I swapped out the bottom bolt on my coin door for a longer one that goes through both the coin door and the cake pan, holding it in place. Since it isn't touching the ground it has a nice ring to it even with the first coin dropped. And as it fills up it totally has "that sound"
