WTB: atari coin box... (w/pic)
« on: June 14, 2004, 10:58:51 pm »
I'm looking for an atari coin box like the one pictured below (that's the one from OSCAR's Centipede).  I would need it to include the lid and the handle.  Let me know if you've got anything lying around.

I imagine that there are warehouses (somewhere) with a bunch of these piled in the corner.  [sigh]

So if you've got one, drop me a PM and tell me how much you want for it.  I'm not looking to spend too much.

Also, if you don't have one, but have an idea how much I should be looking to spend on one, that would be helpful.

(I'm in Toronto, but could get anything shipped to a US address)

If you aren't real picky then the midway Pac style coin box should fit in the same place as that one, but it won't have a lid.

Also, USUALLY an "Atari coin box" is the skinny type that goes in an over/under, as only a few Atari titles used the kind you are looking for. I believe they changed to over/under doors sometime in mid 1980.
