Hi Everyone, I've just starting on a Mame conversion for my Zacharria Pheonix cab & would like to hear if anyone has any ideas relating to DIY coin label inserts. The original labels are for German deutschmark which i want to replace with UK 10p, 20p etc. The labels are sandwiched between two layers of plastic which i assume have been melted together therefore making it impossible to take apart & print new labels so I'm hoping to replicate them. I've tried a few things like using the clear plastic from DVD cases but it's not thick enough. I also need to cut out a slot in the plastic so that the coin can be inserted. Another problem is how to attach the paper coin label to the plastic. I've tried various glues but this just makes a mess & leaves watermarks on the paper (which looks ugly when lit up) Does anyone have any ideas ?? |

Maybe the mamemarquees.com guy can make you something custom to fit. If it lights up from behind then you'd need special printing for it to look the best. |

Have you tried to take the slots apart? I can not tell from the picture, but are they screwed on in the back? There should be some way to access the slot from the inside of the coin door then you can just print on transparency paper and drop the new one in. Good luck, Patrick |

Hello again, Thanks for the responses so far. When i get home from work i'll upload a photo of the actual coin inserts so you'll get a better upderstanding of what i'm trying to replicate. Thanks again |
