On a serious note, the happ over under coin door is not as large as you think. And you would have to cut the lower "box" out to access inside the machine. Could you make a square tunnel going through each side panel as a cubby to keep your items? Seems like a better option as I wouldn't want anyone going inside my machine, and I wouldn't want to open it every time some one wants a Nintendo controller to plug in or some thing.

Happ Controls sells some "access" doors in their coin door line:

I always thought the "who has the bigger dick"-contest between arcaders is who has better/more machines or the games with not so usual controls and a larger game room.
Now it is all reduced to the size of the coin door? This hurts my feelings :cry:

Thanks, Keil & Ken. I wish I could get a hard number on the over-under, more than "not as large as you think." Since I'm striking out getting help from Happ, I'll try to take pictures of my door & compare it against the over-under & try to scale them the same by overlaying the coin insert & coin return rectangles. That should give me a decent idea of its size.
Keil, I'm not sure what you mean by a square tunnel through each side panel. If you're referring to the cabinet, then those will be hard to access, disrupt the side art, & because of the PC & other existing cab internals, still access the same volume that a front panel would access. I rarely have company on my machine, & I rarely use these extra controllers, so no worry about annoying frequent access headaches.
I pulled out my 4 occasional-use controllers & took rough measurements of their outer envelopes:
P2 Trackball (X-Arcade w/ different feet & red T-molding): 17" x 11" x 6"
Virtual On Sega Saturn Twin Stick w/ custom cable: 16" x 13" x 9"
Logitech Steering Wheel (w/ custom center hub & power override switch on force feedback) & Pedals: 14" x 10" x 10" & 13" x 7" x 10"
SWYM (Star Wars Yoke Mount): 14" x 10" x 6"
So, Ken, I did look at those 3 doors to which you linked, & the 2 skinny ones won't really accept any 1 of those controllers without some gyrations. The 3rd one, the blank pinball door, seems to be a size match for my current door, while the over-under that I'm eyeing looks to be bigger, especially if I can combine the over with the under. As a little bonus, if I extend my current coin door cutout left & down, it might absorb a simple blanking plate that I installed to cover big rough coin door lock bar holes that were in the cab when I bought it.
Thanks,
-Jason

Picture this:
The entirety of the front of your cabinet is something that can be opened. Imagine that your normal sized coin door stays in place, but when you unlock one particular lock, you can open the whole thing, but the coin door stays where it is, as if your coin door has a bezel over it.
