Lighting coin door

Pages: (1/7) > >>

BrianP:

I have the Happ coin door for my cabinet:
http://happcontrols.com/pc/accessories/40071300.htm

It has no mech (which is fine) or lights (bummer).  I was hoping to put some lights behind to coin slots for looks.  Any idea how?  I would rather not have to get another controller just for this.  Don't care too much if they blink or not when coins are added.

Perhaps get a lighted case fan and rip the lights out of it?  There has to be a better way, right?

Just wire up a couple of LEDs to a spare molex etc from your PC and point them at the rejects.

I'm not sure why you would go to the trouble of mounting a coin door to your cab when you can't even put coins in though.  ???

For the genuine look.

That is exactly why I did it.  It looks cool and didn't cost too much (relative to the entire project).

Any idea where to get a couple of LEDs?  I would have no idea about the amp/watt/resistance requirements...
