For sale;

One Williams pinball coin door from the 1965-1966 era. This is the coin door that uses a three-way (nickle-dime-quarter through one entry slot) vending machine style coin acceptor.

I have completely disassembled the door, sandblasted the door and the trim pieces, and repainted it with Rustoleum hammered paint (Silver gray) # 7213830 which is close to the original Williams factory color. I took each individual bracket & subassembly and scrubbed/cleaned all the rust & dirt off. Coin switch actuators have all been rebuilt to new condition. This door looks brand new again! You should have seen it when I got it. It came from a Williams 8 Ball pinball I found in a junkyard. The machine was totally trashed from literally sitting in a field for over 30 years. The door was completely rusted, miswired, and inoperable. It is wired for an 8 Ball machine (January 1966).

Here is a list of the few Williams machines that used this type of coin door:

A-Go-Go (May 1966, early production run only)
Big League (March 1966)
8 Ball (January 1966)
Full House (March 1966)
Pitch and Bat (February 1966)
Top Hand (April 1966)
Alpine Club (February 1965)
Big Chief (September 1965)
Bowl-A-Strike (November 1965)
Double Play (April 1965)
Eager Beaver (April 1965)
Lucky Strike (August 1965)
Moulin Rouge (May 1965)
Pot "O" Gold (June 1965)
Ski Club (March 1965)
Teacher's Pet (December 1965)

I'd like to get $250 for this door.

LOL..a quarter got you 3 plays! That tells ya how old that bad boy is! Nice resto Ken...

I remember playing pinball games that were 3 plays for a quarter and 1 for a dime or 2 nickles when I was a kid in the 60's.
I also played EM arcade games back then.
