Defender Coin Door w/Working Mechs
« on: August 27, 2007, 02:19:44 pm »
Anyone know where I can get a Defender coin door for my cabinet?  Will any upright Williams coin door fit?  I have just the door but I'm looking for a full replacement with working mechs.  Or I'd be willing to just buy the mechs if they were available.  I checked Ebay and saw 2 pinball Williams coin doors for sale but I'm not sure if they'll fit my upright cab.  Still waiting for email responses from the sellers.  Any help would be appreciated.  Cheers!

coin mech are quite universal.

Here's some:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260146193804&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016


For a defender cab, look for midway coin door on ebay if you need one.  If yours is fully working just without the mech, I would just grab some mechs.

Would an original Williams pinball coin door work to replace a Williams arcade Defender door?  There are two on Ebay that look just like a Defender door but I have no clue if they would work.  I emailed both sellers but neither has got back to me yet.  Maybe one of you out there know the answer.  Cheers!

I'm assuming and pointing out that everyone is talking about a stainless steel style door, right?  Just to clairify, early Defender's came with a SS style door, while later Defender's came with the black 'pinball' style Coin Control's door, right?

Coin mechs are pretty much universal.  If the door from Williams pinball looks the same (almost the same), I would assume it would fit.  Defender was Williams as well, so I think they would use the same parts.  My Midway Omega Race coin door is exactly the same as Pac-man door, for example.

yes....
and
yes

Interesting...because I got an email back from the seller stating it would not fit.  You think maybe he doesn't know much about these?

Well... Williams used similar parts on many many things... and pinball coin doors crossed over into the Defender design... initially.  Eventually they were replaced by the black door.

Pretty darn sure only thing different between the pin and video is the fact that Defender had a center coin slot for SBA dollar coins... still pretty sure thats the only diff...
