| Will I ever find a coin door to fit this hole? |

Doesn't work if your kids have a console. |

I put coin doors on every machine I make. They look wrong without them. Particularly lined up next to other machines that have them. --- Quote from: yaksplat on October 10, 2012, 02:27:40 pm --- --- Quote from: pinballjim on October 10, 2012, 10:44:07 am ---There's no need for a coin door on a MAME machine. --- End quote --- There is when you want to control your kids and how much they use the machine. I can give my boys $5 in quarters and when they run out, they're done. I have a feeling it'll become a college fund as well. --- End quote --- |

I think it would look nice if done properly. |

I appreciate all of the ideas for sure! And PL1...That's definitely the one! HOWEVER, now that I see all of these opinions, I'm thinking why compromise? That wide HAPP bill validator door will fit perfectly, but is that really what I want it to look like? I'm not sure I do. It's wicked expensive too. Maybe I could find it cheaper, but I'm kind of on a different train of thought now. I'm thinking of a steel plate (maybe 1/16") cut to bolt over the entire opening. It'll have cutouts for a 4-player coin door and an access door below it laid out and spaced like a dedicated MK2 cabinet, (except for the 4-player instead of 2-player coin door). I'll paint the metal plate and the coin and access doors with a fresh coat of black. Then, do I radius the corners of the plate? Or leave them as sharp 90 degree corners? Do I use a glossy or matte black paint? Textured paint? Also, I say "I", but I don't have the equipment for this. Where can I go to buy this plate and have it cut to my specs? So many questions! I think it's a good plan, but I need to have it cut! I used to know a guy who worked at a sheet metal company. He cut some special pieces for me for a couple of animatronics projects years ago, but I wouldn't even know how to get ahold of him now. Hmmmm.... |
