:applaud: That’s looking like a museum quality piece with that final touch. Especially knowing it’s your grail, I can only imagine how happy you must be.

I didn't block you. It was just hard to get a noose around my neck while balancing on a chair ,holding a beer and texting at the same time. |

My machine did not come with a coin box, and the originals are pretty ratty looking. So I'm a little off script in that I made one from some scrap materials laying around the shop. This is left over from a boat I made - its marine grade Okume plywood. Really nice to work with. I created a quick model in Sketchup and put it together over the course of two evenings. A few pics of the parts and getting assembled - Simple box with a 7 deg slope to match the coin box mount in the machine. Here are 2 small strips of aluminum, rounded to the radius of the washer. The were drilled and used as the arms of the handle. Per MikeA - it would not sound right unless there was metal for the coins/tokens to hit. So I give you the MikeA 304 scrap stainless steel sound bar. Every time you feel a little poke in the head - Centipede got a coin. |
