Newbie asking about Coin Doors
CheffoJeffo:
I would concur with GAJoe as to using a full-size door and sourcing it used -- they're pretty easy to clean up and you can save yourself a lot of money. Consider posting a WTB in Buy/Sell/Trade.
On a related note, Zaxxon was one of the games that used these ... still looks strange to me ...

You guys are absolutely right. It does look weird on a cabinet.
Hmm... ok....I think I will look on ebay and see what I can find. About what price range should I expect a "working" coin mech be ?
Any of you wouldn't know where I could find a used cabinet in Dayton, Oh area....I have been lookin on the net but nothing really turns out !!
Thanks for your help guys....

GAJoe:
A coin mech should sell for 5 or 10 dollars. I've seen them cheaper in some places, way more expensive others. Here's an auction going on now for a mech with free shipping for 9.99. http://cgi.ebay.com/HAPP-Video-Arcade-Game-Pinball-25-Cent-Coin-Mech_W0QQitemZ200226441911QQihZ010QQcategoryZ13727QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
A used coin door, depending on its condition and brand can go for as little as 15 or 20 dollars. Here's a fixer-upper. You'd need to get some mechs to go with it. http://cgi.ebay.com/Midway-Coin-Door-for-Upright-Arcade-Game_W0QQitemZ140235003020QQihZ004QQcategoryZ13718QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Here's an over-under door with mechs included, just needs locks: http://cgi.ebay.com/Coin-Door-Coin-Mechs-Arcade-Machine_W0QQitemZ320255215429QQihZ011QQcategoryZ13718QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD10VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em127
These are things that you can definitely comparison shop for and find deals all over the place. You might want to wait and see about finding a cabinet, first. I got my coin door and my mechs with my empty cabinet.

Well,
Here's the thing.... I am looking to build a MP3 jukebox, coin operated... I am looking to build my own jukebox cabinet. I am just looking for items I need to complete my "parts list" ! :)
But you gave me enough knowledge to know what to look for. Thank you GAJoe.. But all I would need is a coin door/assembly and a mech ? No coin holder or anything like that ? I know Happ has holders under their Coin Door page.
But yes, I will look into those auctions in a bit.....Thanks so much....Man, each time I get on this site, make me want to build a jukebox and a arcade cab !! :)
Thanks again GAJoe !!!
