Level42:
Nice work !

TheShanMan:
I was working on the coin door last night... it has a LOT of rust. Took it apart and cleaned the coin return door and "cup", which looked horrible. The door was completely rusted, but I got all the rust off and it looks quite nice now. Cleaned up the inside area too, but to a lesser degree. I didn't want it to feel quite so gross to the touch, but didn't care quite as much about how it looks since it's all "behind closed doors". :laugh:

Right now the coin lights don't work because I don't have translucent 25¢ squares in there - they're just filled with black plastic. And the center SBA slot is blocked entirely. I'd like to put whatever is supposed to be in those squares so I can get the lights working again, and also make the center slot work on tokens too. So where can I find the art for those squares, and any suggestions on how to get or make the plastic chute that goes right behind the coin slot? I don't even know what the squares should look like, so if anyone is willing to post some close up pics, or point me to some, that would be nice.

EDIT: Added pics. See the missing plastic part in the red circle, vs. the plastic parts that are there in the green circles?

RetroACTIVE:
Saaaay cheese  ;D

I also found the metal entry slot... not shown in pic... I'll send it too. :cheers:

TheShanMan:
Awesome! Thanks Jim! I can get the quarter inserts from pinball resource, so it looks like I'm going to be all set! :cheers:
