ok so here is the deal... as many of you know I am restoring an Exidy Death Race...
Well now that it is almost all back together - I have gotten to the point of installing the coin door slot on the front door. Well mine (that came with the machine) is rusty in places, is dented, and is missing the coin retainer at the return portion of the slot (someone has installed a U-Hook in its place)

Well I wasnt sure what to do about this...

Last night my wife and I went to a local pizza place (hole in the wall type place) and in the corner is a Chicken redemption game called "Big Chicken." Anyway after dinner I went over and looked at this thing that I could see from across the room. When I got up close to it I was shocked to find the Coin Door slot is the EXACT one that I am looking for!
Were these used in all different types of games? Does anyone know where I can find one?

Check out the pics of mine and the Chicken machine

I see your dilema.. setting up a heist to rob the coin slot from the Big Chicken may not be in your comfort zone, but we're talking about a Death Race resto here!

You are speakin my language buddy... What's a guy to do? I mean seriously we ARE talking about a Death Race restore here!!!!
 
Sure looks like the one on my Donkey Kong JR....or maybe my frogger. I dunno, would have to take a look. If its like the one on the frogger I have a few nos ones.
 
i have the exact same faceplate but it also has a u hook and no coin mechs.
 
Well, here's the door I have. I can pull one of the mechs off for you if you want. the face should be in great shape because it has been behind the door its whole life. The other parts should clean up fine. LMK if interested.
