| EssexMame:
I'm not so sure. I actually access the volume a fair bit (different games seem to run at very different volumes) and the headphone socket from the volume control wouldn't work so well through a door - it'd be left open? I'm also not sure about taking it apart or sawing as-is to add the door. I would like a working coin door, but probably on my next cab rather than this one at this stage I think. |

So you do it once and then forget about it. Headphones would be another issue... could you use bluetooth for that? As for cutting the coin door... you can be unbelievable sloppy with it. There is a 1/4"-1/2" lip around most of them so the hole just has to kind of be close. |

Can't tell for sure with those teeny tiny thumbnails, but it appears that you could use a simple 3d printed holder that clips onto the door like a remix of this car cup holder -- or make one for the light switch and another for the volume control. If hanging it on the door doesn't work, turn it upside down and add a screw hole on the back of the clip so it hangs above the door. ;D It should be simple to design a 3d model (or two) for this application if you're interested.

You could use a wireless mini keyboard that has volume up/down buttons. |

I may be able to use a bluetooth dongle that plugs into the earphone socket but PC isn't bluetooth (it's old!). I probably won't use the earphones much/at all it just seemed like a nice to have |
