Post by: paigeoliver on April 28, 2003, 11:42:04 pm: Several prices. Depending. Do you want mechs inside, or just the door?

And do you want it in the condition I have it, or do you want it cleaned up/repainted? I have at least one of these. Maybe two or three.

I've been watching ebay for a decent over-under door for awhile. Do you have any of that style, and can you take some pictures? I'm now starting to consider getting one that needs work and repainting it. I want a 2 player over/under style with mechs. I don't care too much about the storage bin. You can reply to wadelanham at hotmail dot com if you want. Otherwise I'll check back here periodically.

Here's a good looking coin door I found on ebay, its out of a Mortal Kombat 2 machine. Its the same one that I just got from a guy in Canadia. Its at $10.49 right now and he wants $20 for shipping with 1 day left on the auction.

Post by: GSXRMovistar on April 29, 2003, 09:20:45 am: Rhoelsch, thats the extact tupe of door I'm after, pity they don't come up on ebay over here (UK), really don't fancy paying Happs for a new one.
Title: Re:decent coin doors
Post by: paigeoliver on April 29, 2003, 09:23:55 am: I don't have any over/unders. All I have are Midway ones. (The square ones from Ms. Galaxipac and friends).

Post by: Wade on April 29, 2003, 09:27:46 am: Okay, thanks!
Title: Re:decent coin doors
Post by: rhoelsch on April 29, 2003, 11:07:39 pm: BTW, as of this posting that coin door alluded to in this post is up to $30...still not a bad deal if anyone's interested. I'm experiencing some cash flow challenges, so I'm out, but it looks to be in outstanding shape, and I'd be snapping it up if I had the dough...

Post by: SirPoonga on April 29, 2003, 11:22:50 pm: It's explained on my site:) I got two coin doors from ebay, combined the good parts, stripped and repainted.
