Real Coin Door Vs Fake Coin Door
Loafmeister:
Almost every guests first time visit to my basement mini-arcade usually have a variation of the same three comments:
- Holy cow, pinballs machines!
- Wow, this multi-arcade cab actually takes quarters? Very cool!
- Where the F is the Tron trigger stick / SW yoke?

I went xtension xarcade route and chose a cabinet door with a coin door sticker. It looks ok. But why couldnt they make a cabinet door annd with a hole for a coin door. I didnt think itd be so easy to push it away from the wall to get behind it. My friends are confused when they try to start the game. I say u cant play without a quarter and make them hit the the 25 cent button. Id have a door but having to add a quarter would slow things down ..maybe if im daring one day ill try and make a hole in it. I though t I could fit all my nintendo powers in the cabinet but I cant. My computer is huge

Definitely going with a real door since it's a authentic-type cabinet. I'll find a place for an exit button. Might even mount an extra button on the door itself.
If/when I do a non-authentic type cabinet I think I'll use one of the cool "fake" coin doors you all have posted here. Ingenious stuff!
As far as the coin door sticker I never thought of putting it on my vehicle. Now that is an idea there!

A lot of people just do a key combination rather than a dedicated exit button. P1 start + P2 start is pretty common.

Most machines just look wrong without a coin door. Used ones are pretty cheap too, so there isn't a lot of reason not to install one. I usually have them available for $20-$30 each for generic styles (Logo and game specific doors are much higher when I even have them).
