source for tokens?
mp2526:
I would agree, that eBay is probably the best current way to get some tokens. I currently have about 500 used tokens for my setup at home that came from a guy off eBay, but I forget his username, he sells the nickel plated ones, which I prefer. They work perfect in my altered quarter mechs. I used to have a search on "Tokens" set up in eBay to email me when new stuff comes along and he would pop up every now and then.

I say, for the original problem, get yourself a real coindoor. They're expensive if you get them new from Happ, but you can pick one up on Ebay for what you'll end up paying for a bunch of tokens.
A locking coindoor would not only solve your problem with disappearing quarters, but it would also look quite a bit nicer than a slot cut in the front of your cab.
The biggest downside to tokens, in my opinion, is the loss of the great piggybank a coindoor makes. Just bite the bullet and buy one, and then tell your wife that every quarter that gets dropped in the door will go toward paying off the coindoor for the next however long that takes. There...it paid for itself ;)

btw, if they get too expensive...
you can always get lots of 50 at chucky cheeses for about 20 bucks :)
If anyone is serious about getting mame tokens... I would be up for getting some. I think it would be over my pricerange...
but If enought of us get together, it might be doable... and sudo-cheap.
And it might be a good additional item to sell for Andy or Oscar. They might be able to sell a few hundred with ever few encoders / spinners... If they are looking for more items to sell..

Not that I'm promising anything in the real immediate future, but if I where to buy a quantity of tokens, what is the typical diameter most of you would like to have. I'm partial to .984 but some like .900. Also, what designs would you like to see on them? I would guess the Mame logo would be an obvious choice. Does anyone hold a copyright on the logo that I would need to get permission to use before putting them on a token?

What makes you think they won't take the tokens also? ;)
