Real Coin Door Vs Fake Coin Door

(1/9) > >>

wordsworth:
Your thoughts on putting an actual working coin door in a Mame cabinet versus a completely fake setup consisting of only push buttons or any variation in-between.

Le Chuck:
Doesn't matter in the slightest. Go with what makes you happy. Even a real coin door on a home machine in a red herring.

bulbousbeard:
If you're building a cabinet as opposed to converting an existing one, I'd argue that fake coin door push buttons are objectively the superior option.

Not only does the cabinet look authentic, but they're actually functional and useful buttons for the few games that don't have free play.

JDFan:
Only reason I can see for a real coin door in a home build is if you have kids and want to limit the game play (ie. give them x number of coins for chores, etc. and when those are gone the only way to get more is other tasks you come up with  :cheers:)

Le Chuck:
It's too easy to use a real coin door and modify non-permantly the returns into push buttons also so if you have one... Also you can plug a small rat shack push button into the lock cylinder hole as well. Food for thought.
