Meh.... it's only worth like one million dollars. 


Ok, maybe not.
See if this helps.

For those of us who are stupid and don't have the value of every piece of arcade hardware memorized and just want to relive those memories of being a kid without any quarters, pretending to play the machine, could you just tell us what about the coinbox makes it so remarkable or 'worth a million'?  The guessing games arn't any fun here.

Was just poking a bit of fun at an oddity I had noticed on that particular cab.
Yes, many of the earlier Williams Defenders came with Williams pinball coin doors when they first started cranking them out on the assembly line. The chrome/stainless doors which most of us had seen before and then they went to the generic black coin doors.
But it was odd to not only see a pinball door on this machine...... but a BALLY pinball door.
So it makes we wonder who/why someone had changed it or what the story was behind it being on this machine.
And it is yet another rather important piece that would have to be replaced in order to "restore" this one. Honestly, it looks fine, just not original is all.
Heck, maybe they did use these doors on some of the machines and I'm just not aware of it. But that would make it even that much more unusual and rare of a machine I would think.

Eh, was just something to chew on is all.
