Coin Door Question

Hi,

I have an arcade cabinet that's just about finished and I'm looking into getting a coin-door for it. My arcade is going to support 4 players so I'm wondering if I should try to find a 4 player coin door or would it work if I bought two, 2 Player coin doors? I could really use some advice on what would be good to buy(I'm not looking for something expensive here either). Also, what would be a good source to purchase one from? If anyone could give me any suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Also, I'm looking for the illuminated, coin reject style coin door. Thanks.

4 Player coin doors can be hard to come by.

It would probably be easier to buy two over/under 2 player doors.  I've seen a few 4 player games do it that way.  Or you could use a single 2 player door and a shift key to determine when the 3rd and 4th player would receive credit.



I do have a few new 2 player Happ's type over/under coin doors I'm selling for $50 each plus $15 each shipping if you're interested, or you could find some used ones on eBay for probably around $30 that would be in decent condition.  My doors do come with 2 coin mechs, coin tub and two sets of keys for each door.  If you are interested let me know.

Bgnome:

theres a link in the FAQ that has a 4 player coin door selling for about ~$50.  its an old link so i cant tell you whether or not the offer is still valid..

EDIT:  this is the link for those of you who dont actually read the FAQ..

Rocky:

My answer to the 4 player coin door issue was to rig 2 extra coin switches for them:

I added 2 microswitches so that the coin reject buttons would trip them. These were intended for player 3 and 4 coin input.

In reality, I've reprogrammed my Ipac so that the reject buttons mirror the coin slots.   I don't really play 4 player games that often (I haven't finished my 4 player panel yet  :-\)

As far as lighting the coin rejects. You just have to get 5v or 12v (depending on the bulbs you use) to the lights.

Good luck,

Rocky
