Does anyone know where to find coin reject buttons for a Centuri Phoenix? I'm having no luck. Maybe they just don't exist?
 
A picture of the coin door would help. Do you have a Centuri coin door with the raised Centuri logo in the center of it?
 
Nope, no raised door. Just the regular one. I can post a pic tonight.

In most cases, it's best to check the brand of your door, then search for the proper parts. You are going to have a Coin Controls or CoinCo door, most likely. Can't remember which is on Phoenix. Leaning toward Coin Controls. And if so, twistedquarter.com has what you need.

Ill check mine this weekend to see if I have anything different on my Phoenix. Its in storage, but I plan on moving them back out to the garage on Sunday.
 
I replaced the coin rejects in my Phoenix a couple years ago. It's in my arcade. I'll check my records tomorrow and see if I can find where I got them. I think it was TQ.
 
Thanks for all the help everyone!
Quick question, does anyone know why operators would drill holes through the coin reject button?
Phoenix is the second game that I've bought that had holes drilled through the buttons.
 
Here are some pics of my Phoenix coin door, which looks infinitely better than when I got it. I got it from a pizzeria almost 20 years ago and it had been broken into with a crowbar multiple times. I included a pic of the inside in case you need it for reference as you work on your coin door. Just about 3 years ago I finally got around to replacing the coin rejects, and all the coin door bezels. I also included a pic of some of the parts I replaced. I checked my email receipts and I believe these are the rejects I used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COIN-REJECT-BUTTON-FOR-WELLS-GARDNER-COIN-CONTROLS-/380781167877 and they were indeed from Twisted Quarter. As to the holes drilled in the coin rejects I've seen people put buttons like these: http://www.jaycar.com.au/Electromec...ton/SPST-Pushbutton---Black-Actuator/p/SP0718 right through the rejects to make them coin up. In my Monster Bash someone removed the left reject entirely and hammered a full size button in to use to coin up.

This is the same door I have. Thanks for the bay link I'll give em a shot!
 
FYI, the doors above are CoinCo doors. They're typically the US-made doors, and different from the Coin Controls doors, made in the UK (different company).

CoinCo doors have the push-and-twist metal bulb holders, while the Coin Controls doors have the plastic slide-on bulb sockets, and typically use metric hardware.

This can be a huge pain if you are looking for parts for an incomplete door, as the reject buttons and a lot of other parts look interchangeable, but you will find they are different when you try them in person, and generally not compatible.

And even then, I have also found there are slightly different styles of CoinCo doors, where the reject buttons completely surround the coin slot, while for others the slot is not part of the button, but next to it.

The best thing to do in general is post pics and/or the dimensions for what you are looking for. See here:
