Actually mine was purchased on eBay, mostly because I couldn't find the image linked to above. What I ended up with was the newer logo as seen in TRON Legacy:

It was a very high-quality decal and fit the space on the coin door quite well. I would say that mceforsale might want to use the one Scott posted, since the over-under door in the photo doesn't seem to have a wide enough area for the decal I bought.

I agree -- as long as you can also dispel the myth that you HAVE TO NOT have certain buttons on a control panel just because MAME can be configured in a million tricky ways.
Admin Button Nazis suck, no matter which side they are on. >:D

I too, would love to have a black coin button that matched the black inverted 1 player 2 player buttons that are now available.

Um, yeah, but we "admin button Nazis" know that 99% of people aren't making a conscious choice to make their control panel look like someone spilled a bag of giant Skittles on it (just borrowing a phrase from the CrapMAME guy, I'm still not him). I just like to obliterate ignorance anywhere I find it, especially because the ignorant are usually the ones who benefit most from being relieved of their ignorance.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't exactly a conscious choice on my part either. I do have a single "exit" button on my cocktail table, and the mini-PAC for FLYNN'S just arrived today, so I haven't been able to playtest this whole two-buttons-to-exit thing. I'm kind of locked into it because I wanted to get the CPO done, but I don't really think it'll be a problem at all. Certainly no less convenient than just pressing one once you get used to it, and aside from the example you pointed out, actually less likely to be hit by accident. I have accidentally exited games on SGM, even though the exit button is way over on the other side of the control panel. With FLYNN'S I didn't have much of a choice, and I'm glad I never got around to trying to add more buttons after designing the layout for the main ones.
Speaking of which, I was trying to figure out a good way to play Discs of TRON with the limited controls I have, and originally I had thought a button near the joystick would be helpful. I even briefly considered a button-top joystick, but those have always annoyed me, especially when the button isn't being used. Of course it hit me last night that since I was using a trackball instead of a spinner, I wouldn't really need to use buttons to raise and lower TRON's aim... I could just set MAME to use the Y axis of the trackball. So there's another example of how MAME can be configured to eliminate the need for extraneous controls... using an analog control to replace a digital one, and vice-versa. When you're trying to play thousands of games on a single control panel, that comes in handy.
MacGyver:
I'm with Ginsu, put coin wired buttons behind the coin return buttons. Every little kid I have ever seen anywhere near an arcade cabinet had already pushed them both 10 times before I got there, and would be midway through tries 11 and 12 two seconds later. In fact I'm surprised they never made a game of just that for kids.
Especially if they are lit. I mean, who could resist not pressing a glowing red button?
You should only have to show the wife 7 or 8 times. :lol
