Coin door question

[hughie]

Hi all, been lurking here forever, gradually trying to gather the parts and knowledge to build my own cab.

I've had a coin door for a while now and would be happy just to have it for access to the cab and for the service switches.

Now the question is, would a coin mech fit in to the brackets on the door or am i missing a lot more hardware etc?

Thanks for any help. I am excited about starting my build.

My personal guess is that you would just need a mech. But Don't call me for sure on that. I mean arcades swap out quarter mechs for tokens and nickles and such so I can't see it being too bad.

hughie,

I bought one of these, http://www.xgaming.com/store/arcade-parts-and-accessories/product/arcade-machine-coin-door-led-coin-mech/ and when comparing to the pic of yours, it looks like all you need is the coin mech and associated harness.

Have you checked out this page?

Ok, thanks guys, prices look reasonable so I might as well have a try.

You may see if you have a local arcade. THey may have spare broken mechs and might be able to borrow to see if it fits. I am good friends with a pinball arcade owner and she lets me "borrow" her own personal machines for months at a time.
