Title: Coin Door has anyone ever use this one?
Post by: extendedplayarcade on September 20, 2010, 12:16:12 pm: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330449209912&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330449209912&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)

I saw this one on ebay and it says it has a plastic frame but the price is right unless someone here has a better suggestion?

I like the look of this one the best and I could basicly use it as a dummy coin door and use the push buttons for coin credits.

I am always look for suggestions though and lower prices but who isn't these days.

thanks in advance

You might see if there is someplace reasonably close to you that sells/services amusement devices. They might have a used coin door for cheap.

The coin return buttons *should* be the same as used in the standard doors and it looks like the button has the shaft/spring/c clip that the return buttons usually have. It should be able to be depressed and if you rig up some sort of holder for a microswitch it should be able to coin up.
