I hammered the coin door straight, sanded it and repainted the coin door. It is super smooth, straight and nice.
But I think I have the wrong lock for it and it doesn't close properly.
If you notice from the pictures, there is a gap between the door, and the lock-turn-thing. It flutters about a quarter inch.
Now since I happen to own a robotron, I checked out the same coin door and notice that the lock on that machine, appears to be shorter than my pinball lock. I think this is the descrepancy in the 1/4 inch. I assume, that it means that in the life of the pinball machine, someone has replaced the lock, and they replaced it with the wrong type.
I was thinking I could find a nut about the right distance, and expoxy it onto the lock-turn-thing and that would fill in the gap
What do you think I should do?
