Can anybody with a Galaxian style cocktail grab a pic of their coin door where the coin counter mounts ?
This is the style that has the single slot coin door.
Mine was kinda jury rigged mounted and interlock switch wasn't even being used, I want to mount it properly to at least be able to use the interlock correctly. (coin counter pushes in on the switch, etc)

I haven't browsed through the manuals yet to see if it shows it.....
 
Looked through some pics I have of the one I had a while back, but only have a pic of the board that shows the interlock mounted on the left, but doesn't show the neckboard at all. Manual also doesn't show a coin counter.

But since when does that stop me? My Search-Fu has found this:

Other pics can be found here:

Thanks Mod..... that pic is basically how mine was mounted. The fact that the top two holes aren't attached it what concerned me, making me think it was wrong or missing a bracket of sorts.
I wonder what one without the coin counter would look like now, it would still have to activate the interlock somehow.

I'll look through that link you posted also.
Thanks.

The Scramble cocktail (same basic cab shape - even the same control panel shape - but taller) I had in the shop recently had a small bracket that attached to the coin door with a bar that pushed the interlock in when the door was closed.


Hehe.... look at this beauty.

Is that yours? I have one or two of those coin counters if you need one...

Yeah, it's the one I've been piddling with off and on now for a couple weeks.
Did ya notice the numbers on the old one....that thing was worse than a baby rattle. :)
I happened to have a spare Midway door that was otherwise of no use to me, so I had spare parts in much better shape for this one.
I really appreciate the offer though about the counter for sure.

I mounted the coin counter as it was and it actually seemed more solid than I had expected and activates the interlock just fine.
Need to finish tidying things and wire it all up now.
