Title: Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga reunion cocktail
Post by: OSCAR on April 18, 2002, 09:18:39 pm

Is anyone familiar with the coin door for a new Ms Pac/Galaga reunion cocktail, particularly the size?

The reason I ask is because a local distributor is giving me this cab because he has an extra one.  The cab is bare... no coin door, monitor, glass, board, etc.

I would like to put a coin door back in it, but he mentioned that the coin door on these are a non-standard size and unique to these cabs, but I'm not really sure.  Somehow I find it hard to believe that the manufacturer would make a special coin door that fits only this cabinet, but I've heard of stranger things.  Can anyone confirm/deny this?  Thanks!

I don't know the dimensions, but I do know that since this cabinet was made in 2000, that they have made it allow dollar bills, and dollar coins, so there is extra hardware there. However, I don't know if that hardware affects the dimensions of a "standard" over/under coin door.

In any case, the one that is in there should be bigger than the standard size.. so you might be able to "fill" the hole with something..

The pic on KLOV gives a little bit of an idea.

From the picture, it looks like the one on KLOV is missing the dollar bill acceptor.

Thanks for the pic.  That coin door looks a lot like http://www.happcontrols.com/coindoors/40040625.htm

I'll check the hole dimensions when the guy drops off the cab this weekend.  Thanks again!

Well, if it's not going to work for you since the coin door doesn't look standard, let me know.  I will take it off your hands for you  ;D
