Title: midway coin door parts question
Post by: mmmPeanutButter on November 25, 2003, 09:51:35 am

I was just wondering how hard it would be to source the metal pieces where the coin goes in.

I think there are (at least) 2 different types - I'd be looking for the one like in the picture (not the one with the two rivits).

Also, were is a good place to get parts in general for the midway coin doors??



Thanks.
Jonathan

Regretably, an old broken Midway door.

Title: Midway coin door history

Happ Controls was the final manufacturer of the Midway coin door. It was called two different names in the Happ catalog: "Flat Door-Double Entry Door" and "Ms. Pacman Door". The last time this door was in the Happ catalog was 1994. The complete coin door was part number 40-0010-00 and sold for $79.00. The original metal entry plate was changed around 1982 or 1983 to a plastic part because of static electricity problems reseting the Ms. Pacman and Pacman video games. Happ shows this plastic entry as part number 42-0061-00. Don't know if any of these parts are still available from Happ, but I think some parts are.
