Real Coin Door Vs Fake Coin Door
DeLuSioNal29:
I've modded two of my coin doors to have push buttons from GroovyGameGear.com. However, I modified the inserts to be sideways instead. You can grab the Photoshop file from the File Repository section here.
Here's a video of the coin door.

The coindoor decal is indeed one of my creations. Obviously, it's not going to be for everyone. It's there for folks who don't desire, nor need a a real coin door, and who might otherwise just have a big empty spot on the front of their cabinet. I've also had folks tell me that when guests see their machine for the first time, they are surprised when they get a couple of feet away and realize that it's not a real coin door. IMHO, it's better to have a decal which completes the appearance, than to have nothing at all. It's also easier to install, and usually less costly :).
They are also fun for the arcade aficionado to apply to things which wouldn't normally have a coin door on them. I put one on the door of the trailer I use for hauling, to see how they hold up when exposed to extreme conditions (it has held up well). There have been a couple of times when coming out to my vehicle in a parking lot somewhere, when I noticed someone looking at it with a puzzled look on their face. :D

I am really excited to have it up and running and accepting quarters. For me, the nostalgia factor is very high and helps the overall experience. I am hoping to build something that appears to be arcade worthy so a working coin door is a priority for me, otherwise I would probably go for buttons - but not something that looks like a coin door but isn't.

Buy token mechs and some tokens. Problem solved. :cheers:

I agree that there is something about dropping quarters (or tokens) into the coin slot.
