RAN INTO A HUGE PROBLEM!
the3eyedblindman:
its a ultimate arcade 2 cab, it goes up from the floor, then like goes out, and up again, then the control panel sits on top of that.

Oh, why do people continue to build those, it looks very little like any actual machine ever made.
You could put the door on the side.

Here's a wacky plan...
Take the over/under to a metal shop and have them section about an inch out of the "under" half. That door is only to get the coin tub out, so as long as you similarly modify your coin tub, it shouldn't matter how big it is.
If you wanted to, you really could have the entire "under" part removed, and have a small coin door, and access the tub like you would with a midway or pinball coindoor.

I bought a beautiful over under coin door that looks great, and it just so happens its about 1/4 inches shorter than the door its going on! :( What am i going to do? i cant rebuilt the whole thing, and im afraid the mdf will just crack in half with only a tiny peice of wood holding it together (the coin door will basically cut the wood in half) what am i going to do, i really like the over under door better than a normal coin door.

I built the ultimate arcade II as well and I put in an over under coin door. Like you I though aww crap it's longer than the space provided... but it's not that bad the outer frame of the coin door goes right from the very bottom of the cabinet and I had to cut some of the angled upper portion out to 'tuck' it under but it fits and it's so nice that the coin bucket slides right in on the bottom and fits like it should. I'll take some pics and post em. It looks real good IMHO.

True it doesn't look like a 'real' arcade cabinet, but it is stylish and if we were building real arcade cabinets then what the heck are they doing running 5000 Games with keyboards and computers in them running windblows?
