Title: Do you know where I could get a coin slot like this? Or how I could make one?
Post by: EightBySix on June 18, 2012, 08:07:41 am

Been googling around for one for ages. Then I saw an example of what I wanted on a vending machine.

from that vending machines manufacturer??

find out who makes it and contact them. they almost certainly produce that piece. it would be a matter of drilling/making the appropriately sized hole to fit it in.

likely it made by them for that machine and not by a supplier. contacting them directly would be the best bet for something like that.

I'm assuming this is for your coffee table, and you're mostly just interested in the coin entry slot. I couldn't find what you have pictured, but this is pretty close: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Round-Coin-Slot-for-Amusement-Arcade-Vending-Cherry-Master-Pot-O-Gold-/350490538216?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item519add30e8 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Round-Coin-Slot-for-Amusement-Arcade-Vending-Cherry-Master-Pot-O-Gold-/350490538216?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item519add30e8)

Those are freaking awesome.  :notworthy:

Especially #1 and #3 but I do like the OP's request over #1. I had to shelf an entire CP project because I could never find a satisfactory solution to the coin slot, but it looks like I'll be revisiting that design again.
