Title: Can't find a good button for coin on Bartop cabinet anywhere
Post by: Cougar888 on October 26, 2011, 07:02:39 am

Hi guys, I'm looking for an arcade style coin return button to be used for the coin input on my cab. I remember seeing some somewhere that didn't have the coin slot and you could put your own insert in to say eg: 10p or whatever you wanted.
Does anyone know where I can get these and if they come in other colours than Red?
Thanks

I think you mean these:

They come in red green blue and yellow


Here's how I did the coin up buttons for a friend's MAME machine:

there isnt a coin slot, its a big button?  Maybe email them to see if you can get a custom insert printer without the "coinslot" black line?

These do not have a real coin slot.  It is faux.

You realize the insert is just a piece of paper, right?  I made my own in Photoshop, printed them out, cut them to the right size, and dropped them in.  I have an actual coin door, so I was installing these in my coin reject buttons.  However, I have some buttons similar to these that take a graphic and work the same.
