Who has the biggest coin door?
jasonbar:
Thanks for the input--my mind is made up. I'll show pics after I execute installation of a bigger coin door.
So there. ;P
Thanks,

The meme I made was so awesome, it got reposted. :cheers:

I heard back from Happ. Hooray. Part of the delay was due to my switching cell phone carriers & not knowing that they'd called for a few days, so let this hereby at least partially clear Happ's customer service record. :]
Happ's excellent & detailed drawing for the over-under coin door is attached.
The outer flange measures 13.63" W x 17.19" H. This over-under door's pass-through hole size, if I combine both doors, is 12.4" W x 15.9" H, which will gain me about 5.5" more of H in my pass-through than I currently have.
I can currently barely & awkwardly pass all of my temporary clamp-on controllers through my coin door--it's just awkward, requires wiggly weaseling, & a bit painful.
Thanks,

Well, it took 5 months, but I finally got around to it...
Tornado Terry once again came through with a good price on a Happ order, as well as coming through with what appears to be an oddball unstocked Happ item.
For those who have normal attention spans, I essentially wanted a bigger pass-through in the front of my cab through which I could insert & remove my 4 rarely used specialty controllers, without needing external storage or needing to scooch the game out to access the back panel, also allowing me to keep all USB items always plugged in so that their IDs don't get fudged up.
I got this: http://na.suzohapp.com/all_catalogs/coin_doors/40-0946-00
And, to turn 2 small doors into 1 big door, I did this:
1 - Looks stock, no?
2 - What's that line on the frame at the left?
3 - And on the right?
4 - Hey, how do the doors swing out together, along w/ the middle frame member?
5 - What a capacious pass-through!
6 - Screw
7 - 3 more screws. 4 total. Nuts too. And washers. Washers not only under screw head & under nut, but as shims between doors & center bar to act as shims & to keep the doors parallel & spaced properly.
8 - Detail of slit by hinge.
Cutting was awkward. I used a hacksaw blade & my fingers. I couldn't use the hacksaw handle or a jab saw handle b/c of clearance. Good thing I had a brand new blade & that the frame is aluminum, not steel. I cut pretty straight. Pretty straight. Then a few relatively carefully marked & not-too-diagonally-drilled holes, some fasteners, & some Rust-Oleum black hammered paint to cover the cuts (but it's more of a steel gray than black...eh, close enough--doesn't really show anyway).
Thanks,
-Jason

So do all the controllers fit through there? I'd hate to hear they didn't.
