I am looking to get a coin door for my cocktail table and have a question of course. I want one that is small and I am looking at this one
http://www.happcontrols.com/coindoors/40094600.htm
My question is do I need this also and if I don't get this where do the quarters go?
42-0769-00 Cashbox for Multi-Player Over/Under Door
I am going to mainly use it as a piggy bank but I might hook it up to work down the road.

You can use any old container. Make one out of cardboard. It's up to you.
-
Empty coffee cans make a very satisfying "ClINK" when a coin is dropped into them, I suggest using one of those. Or maybe fabricate one out of aluminum sheet, rivets and L-brackets.

Slacker solution to getting that nice metallic clink sound. I use a plastic bucket and cut a sheet of aluminum to fit in the bottom of it. It just didn't sound right when the coins thud to a stop in that plastic bucket.

why not use this one:
http://www.happcontrols.com/coindoors/40000800.htm
smaller AND cheaper. Won't get you the over/under functionality if you really wanted that...
-
and that has a build in box?

So I just need that and the cash box holder, nothing else? Thats what I was looking for.

what about depth? most cocktail tables that i know of have a depth problem with coin doors. that's what i'd be worried about...
-
it looks small enough for me, plus its a 27" monitor so its bigger than most.

I wouldn't wast my time with a quad coin door. Lets face it, with a three sided cocktail table , most of your time will be spent on two player games, and even if you play some of the four player games you can find a way around a four coin slot coin door.
For aesthetic reasons and practicality I would search eBay for a clean coin door. For me, I love knowing the fact that my coin door was used for many years as a Space Invaders coin door. Find a door with some history and renovate it. This will add to the nostalgia. :P

its a 2 door

Good choice.
I also used a midway coin door. One big advantage to this style is that the coin mechs are mounted flat against the coin door making the whole unit less than 3 inches wide. Space in a cocktail is always in short supply.

I have a really small double coin door that would be great for a cocktail, you can see pics on this thread:

You would just need to put a box under it. And would be pretty cheap ;)
Let me know, Patrick
