I'm restoring a coin door from a Bosconian. I've disassembled the door and I am going to have to have the coin reject buttons plated (or something). I can't figure out how they come off the frame. I don't want to bugger it up trying so I decided to tap the infinite knowledge that is KLOV (My Google-Fu isn't working today).
Can someone help me out?
(I would upload a picture but for some reason the upload fails. I'll check that out later)

Thanks!

After you remove the coin mechs, the coin chutes, etc...I don't even think you need to remove the coin mech holders on a midway door, you should be able to see how they are held on. It's all 1/4 hex nuts and nut-head screws.

I don't think that it's the case in this instance. I really wish I could upload a picture... perhaps I will figure out why I can't soon.

Basically, I pulled the frame that holds the coin mech and the button is attached to that frame. There isn't a nut screwing it on but it almost looks like it could be screwed into the frame however I can't see any threads. I've twisted on it a bit but if I do more I will damage the coin return button.

Yeah it's hard to see without a picture but the midway circular coin rejects are not screwed on. They simple go through the the hole on the door. Is it possible yours is rusted corroded and just stuck?

I added a link to pictures in the original post. They are "before" pictures and have since been de-rusted and cleaned. The mechanism in picture three has been removed and the push button came right out easily. The part that I can't figure out is the barrel that the push button slides into.

Thanks for the help. Sorry it took so long to get pictures up.

I just took a look at mine, and it looks like it's permanently pressed in.

The castle-like knurling on the back distorts the metal enough to hold it in. My guess would be that you could probably dremel that off, and the barrel will come off. You could have it plated, and then reattach it with a careful epoxy job.

Aw man... Darn. Don't want to grind it off so I'll just do the best I can with it while it's still on there. I'll update the thread if I find a good way to fix 'er up. Thanks for the help!

If you don't want to remove it, I'd try polishing it with Mother's Mag Polish.

Also, if it's rusted, you can soak the whole thing in white vinegar for 24-48 hours first, then lightly hit it with a small wire brush. That will knock off all of the rust, and then the polish will clean it up.

Both the polish and wire brush can be obtained at any auto parts place. The brushes usually are in the detailing section and come in packs of 3 (one each, stainless, brass, and nylon). I use them for all sorts of arcade cleaning tasks.

Post pics after! :)
