Should I dare ask how thermite happens to ignite on a coin door? Firework platform?

It wasn't much of the stuff. A mere 150 grams.

Arrgh, you left the trim bits on it!

Umm, bit of a waste of a coin door in my opinion, these are expensive to buy here in the UK, oh hum............

Just a simple burn-thru?

Maybe next time you can use ceramic tile shaped to focus the reaction into a pattern.

Bonus points if the pattern is recognizable, perhaps an outline of a bee.

Man, if that's a Happ, I sure could use the coin box chassis thing.

Was it this one?

No worries guys I only torched the bottom door. It was already beat to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and wanted something to torch with the thermite. The rest of it is in great condition. If anyone wants it let me know and I will remove the burned door.

It came out of a Golden Tee cab I am converting that use to be a dragon's lair per the control panel that was under the GT one.

Cory, it almost sounds like are you trying to be the west-coast version of the Arcade Boneyard cab-burning guy.

Anybody really needing a coin door without shelling out $150 for a new Happ over/under just send me a message. I killed a bunch of incomplete dart board cabs and moldy cabs over the last few months and have probably 8 or 10 doors available. They are about evenly split between over/unders and those single doors that are larger than the Williams/Midway style.

If need be I'll even hit them up with a fresh coat of hammered paint and make sure they have working quarter mechs before I ship them out. Prices vary by style and conditional but are reasonable

I also have a nice owl eye door and an import Taito door with separate vault, but those aren't going to be cheap.

It'd certainly end up looking like that in Mame jail.

No worries guys, I have the parts to appease the Arcade gods

Touched up with a little bit of black

Voila!

CoryBee · « **Reply #20 on:** July 07, 2013, 02:23:08 am »

I have no need nor will I buy the parts needed for it to be a full coin door. If anyone wants it let me know and just pay shipping, cheers!

CoryBee · « **Reply #21 on:** July 08, 2013, 04:04:57 am »

Nobody?

Suppose I can check to see if there is any more thermite

paigeoliver · « **Reply #22 on:** July 08, 2013, 08:10:05 am »

The missing bits generally cost more than a complete door does.
