| Why the Ms.Pac/Galaga cocktail is so big? |

I found out today when I installed the coin door. The Class of '81 cocktail uses the Entropy Triple Door coindoor and a 19" monitor, and the coin box sticks out so far that it clears the monitor neckboard buy about 1/2" when you swing the monitor panel out. If the cabinet was 1" narrower, the neckboard would definitely interfere with the coin box. It's very close, I thought I was going to have to get creative with my jigsaw on the rear of my new coin door! |

Maybe it's to accomodate those coin doors with bill acceptors with more necessary storage space. |

The Triple Entropy door that is used in these cocktails accepts a bill validator. But even without the bill validator, the monitor still barely clears the coin box. The original Midway cocktails used a wooden enclosure to house the coin box and was much narrower, so that's how those cocktails could be so much smaller. I posted the info because I've seen people speculate that these cocktails used a 25" monitor and that's why they were larger. I can tell you that there is no way a 25" monitor would fit in here! The hinged monitor panel is only about 1/8" wider than the frame of a 19" monitor, so you wouldn't even be able to open the cocktail if it had a 25" monitor in it. |
