Title: defender coin box pic?
Post by: TheShanMan on October 27, 2008, 09:26:49 am

My defender is missing the coin box. While I can make due with something generic for now, I want to keep my eyes out for a real defender coin box. Can someone snap a pic of one for me so I know what it looks like? I tried googling it and came away with nothing.

So you mean like the coin "bucket" right ?
That catches the coins as they are dropped through the coin mechs.

Here's me trying to post pic. May be too big. Hey it worked. As far as I know this may be an Australian dung bucket but it came with and looks like it belongs in my Defender. It's also currently the most functional part of my game, till I break this too.

Thanks Kevin. I have a saved search set up for "williams defender" and I hoped I'd eventually pick up a coin box with that, but not if "defender" isn't in there! Might have to get one of these! :cheers:
