Title: WTB: DK original blue button and coin return catches [US/OR/Hillsboro]
Post by: TheShanMan on July 29, 2009, 04:16:48 pm

Just got a DK, and the P2 button is broken. Would rather not go the repro route since the color isn't the same.

Also missing both of those "U" shaped coin return catches.

Good luck on the buttons Jeff, they are ridiculously hard to find. I found a used set that is discolored last year, but that is as close as I have been able to get. The company that makes the coin mechs still sells them and the parts for them. http://www.asahiseikousa.com/product_info.php/cPath/2/products_id/28

Unfortunately they have a $50 minimum order for new customers now (new policy) so the hunt for "bugles" (as he said they're called) continues.

I will try to remember to call them one of these days. If they have a storefront at their Vegas location, I can pick up a few next time I'm down there. My DK has the other, impossible to actually grab the quarter out of type, and I need to grab a couple of those.

I may have a lead on a pair, and I'll post back one way or another once I know (probably in a few days). Thanks Paul!
