how to install the CP top on the CP box???
xmenxmen:
If you are willing to cut an opening in the bottom of the cp box, you can put in latches. Then whenever you needed to access to the cp, just reach inside the coin door and up the opening and un-latch.
The high height hinge would work for your round cp. Also, as mention, wood block on all 4 side would be an added bonus.
Velcro, I don't know about other, but my luck with them has not been good epecially with mdf. The 2 side sticks to each other nicely, but when I was using them, they tend to peel off the mdf top whenever I left them. Now, on my heavy 4 player one, I use use them clamp thinge like severdhed mention plus a few magnet ones. On my 2 player one, I use a single latch similar to the picture.

i plan to use very long screws screwed from the top, with fixed nut on the other side (dont know th name... leaf nut?
AcidArmitage:
Tee nut?

thats probably it ... still learning your language :)
i would have visible screw heads though... still open to ideas for an invisible soution - the clip picture above seem like a good solution - how hard is it to pul open, and how do you call this type of clip?
i have to go buy some supplies at home depot anyway.. ill check for those there :)
is this hobby fun or what? ;)
Sir Auros:
severdhed - Where in Lowes did you find those brackets? I still need something more secure than velcro and magnetic cabinet catches to secure my unconventional CP top. I've looked in Lowes before, but never saw something like that.
