I'm going to put on the arcadeshop "sticker" and then when (if) thisoldgame gets theirs done, I'll replace it. My wife's uncle owns a nuts and bolts company, so I should be able to get a replica rivit that is pretty close. |

Painted the front sides of the coin box with the rust primer Once that was dry, I lightly sanded with some 220 grit sandpaper to take out any parts that weren't smooth. I then hit it with Hammered black paint. still wet in this picture I also placed an order with arcadeshop today for the replacement Midway plate for the coin door. |

Did you buy or rent the sandblaster box? Either way, may I ask you what it cost? If you do own it, you may make some extra cash sandblasting fellow member restoration coin doors. (hint, hint, wink) |

It's called a snap (I think). Looks pretty much like the original. Only thing I don't like about them is the length - they're pretty short. So I can get them thru the hole just fine, but I haven't tried securing one down yet. |
