coin mech compatibility

[f.pelosa]

Hi all,
I'm looking for a comparator coin mechanism that is compatible to the standard coin door we found on the real arcade cabinets.

I see that there are several versions of the comparator mechanism, all of them looking more or less like this:
e.g. http://www.amusementdistributors.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=1030

As these models are very ugly
I wonder if either I can take them apart and attach the mechanism to a coin door (which I doubt it's a possible option)
or if I can buy a mech that is compatible with a standard coin door.

Thanks for your help!

What do you call a standard coin door?

There are several.

Something like this.

There are several different types of coin door.

That looks like a IL mini coin door.
They use the 3.5” snap in mechs I believe but I have never seen a multi one if thats what you are after?

Ime no expert though so hopefully someone else will be able to offer something more solid

or... does anybody sell coin doors with comparator mechanisms?

You can buy doors that fit the type of mech you listed above.

Like this one:

right.. but it will still look very ugly to me.
I am trying to find something that looks like this https://imgur.com/a/koL6O?
but with a comparator mechanism.

* when I say 'that looks like this' I mean a big black metal door with a slot for the coin and a hole for retrieving the coin.
And it may have one or two coin slots, it doesn't really matter.

Sorry I cant suggest anything.
But remember if you get a industrial mech you will need a means to program it!

No arcade games ever used those.

This one fits in normal coin mech slots

I may not be understanding what the OP wants but based on his pictures it sounds like he wants a standard coin mech and door like this:
