Hi,

I finaly complete my cabinet after 18 years in storge.
But i have a problem with my player and coin buttons.
As you can see the inside is rotating for 3 of them.
I can not find a way to stop them from rotating, does anyone have a solution for this ?
Thanks in advance

Patrick

Step one is to fasten the diffuser to the plunger using four tiny bits of gel superglue on the top, bottom, left, and right sides where the diffuser and plunger meet.  There are small ridges on the diffuser that fit into notches on the plunger.

WARNING: Let the superglue offgas fully (at least a full day) before you reassemble or you might get results like this.   :banghead:





Now that the diffusers are glued to the plungers, that just leaves the inserts.

If you have adhesive inserts, attach them to the diffusers at the desired angle.

If you have non-adhesive inserts either reprint them on Avery Inkjet (8665 or 18665) or Laser (15665) labels or find some adhesive or clear double-sided tape to attach them to the diffusers.
- Test the adhesive or double-sided tape on a test piece to see how noticible the edges are.  You may not like the results.

If you're looking for printable insert files check out these or these or these.
