Newbie Coin Door questions: Restoration + Wiring

<< < (2/2)

Arshad:
Thanks for the advice JDurg.  I understand that if I want a proper finish, I have to strip and repaint but I was hoping that minor touch-up would get me 90% of the way there.  I suppose I can experiment a bit and if it doesn't work I can always strip and start over.

Thank you for the detailed description of the wiring.  I've been following your other thread on connecting the counter, but in my case the 12V is going to be an issue.  Once I figure out a solution, I'll post it up...



boogieman:
You could lightly sand the whole thing (just the metal take the other stuff out), clean it with acetone, then paint it with rustoleum hammerite spray paint.  It does a good job of covering up small surface imperfections.  Just put your coin slots and lock back in and you are good to go.

replace it with a 6volt one.....  :P
The 5volt is enough to trip it.

Jdurg:
And most of those 6V ones actually have 4.5V/6V stamped on there so anything in between should work.

DeLuSioNal29:
Based on the picture, I would just remove the square pieces on the front and spray paint those.  Then put them back on.  The trouble is, you have to practically take apart the whole thing to remove them, which means, you might as well paint the door too.  (the door comes off with 4 screws on the inside of the coin door, so you don't have to paint the whole bracket.
