Coin Door refurb

[MadNat]

Any recommendations for skilled people who do a top notch coin door refurb?

I plan on a jazzy powder coat for my HS2, but the TZ I’m tarting up, could use a more sympathetic factory look.

Recommendations appreciated.

Skilled person who does a top notch refurb!!!! Maybe not me however when I did my TAF coin door I filled the holes with JB Weld and the did a few coats of Hammerite hammered effect black paint.

Top notch refurb throw the old one in the bin and buy a new one

These are the cheapest ones I've found, and they are decent, if not 100 percent correct looks wise

here is an alternative as a number of years ago I reproduced the classic Bally / WMS wide ones to keep the look but with a 1 or 2 or 3 coin slots. They are professional 3D printed in solid nylon. You can pick from any colour or the cheapest and paint over when you paint the door.

I found that coin doors from this era scrub up really well, even ones that look pretty awful.

Lots of photos. Full strip down. Hammer out any dents using a nylon hammer with door resting on a block of wood

Dunno mate by I have some c220s in my spares box I'll check if they fit

 

[Pick Holder]

Buy a new one ! not worth messing about.

Someone with better knowledge than me can chip in what type they are!

I’m going full Chrome!

Getting back box hinges done at the same time.

Will post results.
Very excited

This is the before

 

[biglouieuk]

I have the same door and the same project to start soon! Looking forward to seeing the result.

Do you think the hinge will be ok? That was only bit I thought would be a bit sketchy..

 

[MadNat]

It’s with the metal polisher now.

He didn’t seem to have a problem with the hinge - I had the same concern.

Hopefully will see the results in a week or so (lockdown permitting).

 

[biglouieuk]

So he will strip it down and chrome it up for you? Will look ace!

 

[MadNat]

Oh my... so shiny! Glad I didn’t bin for a NIB on this occasion!

They look even nicer in real life and not on the dirty rug!

But wanted to share the result...

Can’t wait to fit it all together.

Cooooooor
