Help ID this coin door...
AlienInferno:
I've got an over/under coin controls door. Slightly different design on the door itself but it's a good coin door. If you look in my sig at my build thread there are photos of it before, after it was stripped of paint, and after it was painted. Like stated above they are very easy to get in tip-top shape.

But the metal ones are cool-er .... Just because. :)
Seriously though, the plastic ones are easier to maintain and have less problems. Like you said, a good soapy wash is usually all they need.

Very similar to my mech - it's very easy to screw in some microswitches behind the coin return thingy to register a coin when the reject is pressed. I wired it up with the coin slot microswitch as well so either gets you a "credit".
jekbrown:
Good idea on the microswitch, I might have to try that.
You guys say 'clean the plastic ones with soap/water!'....but what do you clean the metal ones with? blast'em in brake cleaner or something?
Also, I think I'm missing a reject coin button return spring. Is this the kind of thing you can find in the hardware section of a good hardware store, or cheap online or...?

Thanks for posting the microswitch pic, eds. I'm still debating how i want my gameroom to run, but it's nice to see an actual picture instead of just a description.
On a side note, both of my cabs have O/U coin doors. One is early 80's Midway and the other is from a mid-90's dart machine (I think). There are subtle differences. That said, it looks more like the later one than the earlier one. The differences may just be due to the operator, though.
