midway replica... which (new) coin door to get?
« on: May 30, 2008, 04:51:34 pm »
i'm building a midway (galaga/ms pac type cab) replica and i haven't looked into coin doors yet...
i don't want to restore, so which coin door would be anywhere near the original?
thanks.

A "pinball" coin door is the modern equivalent to the original Midway door.

I have been wondering the same. I was looking at these 2:
- Happ: Multi-Player Door ($103.90)
- Happ: Pinball Door ($66.45)

Not sure why the first one costs so much more, but might be the use of aluminum. Which actually might make it cheaper in the end when shipping is calculated.
