How good are these super-cheap coin acceptors?
Marsupial:
is there a way to take those "sampler" coin mech and accept "any coin" for those with various different coins?
I am thinking this might be a cheap alternative to coin doors and still keep a somewhat classy look.
But I think their outsides are made of plastic. :(

For nine bucks, I'd say go for it. That's not much to loose.
Even if it's a plastic front, you could always refinish that in some fashion.

Does anybody else have any experience with them? Or do people here only buy expensive stuff?

lol.. man there ain't nothing wrong with that.. they just look like they've belong on a gumball machine or something.
i dont have a problem with them being made of plastic the style just is'nt what you would expect on a arcade cab.
i know you're on a budget if you could stretch that a little you could probably have gotten a used door for 15-25, plus another 5-10 for sanding/repaint.. maybe less.
but let us know how they work, i heard they're not to bad other then the style i think they'll work for your purpose.
EDIT: i take that back i have no idea what the hell you're building ( i just assumed arcade cab) i think these would look ok on a bartop, wallmount, or maybe a cocktail.

O boy they are fugly! Even if they are 9 bucks. Either you pay zip, nada, noppes, and have no coin (it's illegal to use them for profit anyway, and for personal play I would not want to drop in a coin every play), or pay double and have the decent looking stainless minimalist ones from Jan Fleck for example.
Marsupial:
it is part of the arcade experience to put coins in the machine, profit or not. I woudln't want a machine that doesn't require me to put in some coins even if I know I can open the door and get them back for more games.
that's just me.
I am wondering how good these doors are, for 2 coins they almost compare in price:
