Who has the biggest coin door?

<< < (7/7)

Well, it took me 5 months to cut 2 slots, drill 16 holes, screw some screws, & paint 2 square inches.

I'll get back to you in another 5 month with an update. :]

I did some rough measurements & think it will work out fine.

Actually, my brother is great with woodworking. I'm going to have him help me mount the door & figure out in-cab controller storage during his next visit, so I hope to have it squared away much sooner than 5 months... :]

Thanks,

DOOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coin door installed. It was the same width as my old one, so I had only to cut down to extend the hole down...
and temporarily undo some wires that I didn't want to cut...
and clean up lots of sawdust...
and put a little wood filler in 2 places...
and repaint the Rust-Oleum hammered black paint around some spots (the outer flange on this door sticks out less than that on the old door) & re-attach my monitor controls to the new door...
and wire the 5V & GND wires to the 4 LEDs in the coin return slots...
and then finally add the kick panel art that I've had in my hands for just over a year, waiting for this moment...
and then trim the kick panel art so it wouldn't overlap the coin door...
and then do some barrel lock swaps so that my cab's back panel & coin door both use the same key & that I have a dummy impotent lock filling the hole on the bottom coin door...
that's all...

All controls fit handily through the door.

Now, I need to mount them in the cab in a semi-accessible, semi-protected fashion. I bought a set of garage hooks (rubberized big hoopy hooks) the other day--those should help. You can see my SWYM Star Wars yoke peeking out on the right--that will probably be shifted.


Thanks,

Did a few tests--assigned controls to games, rebooted, checked controls, etc. Seem to be sticking...as long as nothing comes unplugged in there...
