Have a look at T-molding.com  This page in particular tells you the exact slot cutter size you need for the "spine" size of the t-molding:

I need some opinions...

I put my 4p vendetta cab on craigslist for 250, Ive had alot of $150 offers.
Debating if I should sell it or keep it for the coin doors.
It has 2 dual coin door/mechs , and 2 of the doors for accessing the coin buckets, and 2 coin buckets.
.
I see coin mechs are pricey.Could these be used on my mame cab?
Are the coin doors just for looks/novelty more than function?
I mean dont most cabs with coin doors also have coin buttons on cp?


selling it would give me a little cash to throw at the 32" tv i need , but if coin doors are desireable than id probably save money using these than buying new.

Whats your thoughts on coin doors? Do you actually use them? Or does the quarter feeding get old and eventually bypassed?

Yes. Unless they have been abused and the switch doesn't work on them. (But then you can just replace that too)

I love the look of coin doors because they add to the charm and authentic look. But they can also function just the same.

Yes, but even that is up to you. I'd definitely put coin buttons on the cp. You will disappoint yourself later if you don't.

Feeding quarters gets old very quickly and using a coin button is the way to go. However, it's fun sometimes to show a friend that the coin mech works just like a real arcade.

As far as coin doors go, I have a friend who's reserved an over/under setup for me (not sure if the mechs work, but I'll fix them or get new), and whenver I get my stuff together, my goal is to have my kids earn tokens which they can then spend on the machine.

I, of course, get freeplay  >:D

Coin doors on any arcade project. Otherwise, it's just a piece of furniture that can play video games. :cheers:
