Ok, since I couldn't find any plans already done I decided to sit down and create my own set.

Updated Plan.

- Added 3rd Hole in the Center (this isn't used on most of the WMS games)

- Added hole for Switch

- Added hole on the back part of box, probably for a security device or something.

- Cleaned up some things, like the left inside 3/4" x 3/4" piece as it wasn't 100% closed.

- Fixed a problem with the slot on the front.

Does anyone know why they might have slotted that board? I don't see a purpose for it since you don't have access to the lower section.

You can access it from the back on some coinboxes. It also gives more surface area for the glue to hold. And finally, quarters are freaking heavy. If you had a butt joint there, it could break under the massive weight of quarters being slugged into the machine.

BTW: great job on the plans. I probably won't tackle one of these anytime soon, but it is great to know the info is out there. :fing02:

Thanks Ken. I'm working on redoing the Defender Cab right now, and I'll probably revise the Coin Box a bit to use Groups to make it easier to work with if someone wants to build one.

The slot I am referring to is the 3" x 2 1/4" slot in the middle of the second board.

I have wondered that myself, since it is the same on the minis (Stargate). I was thinking maybe an overflow, but what kind of sense does that make???

BTW, great plans! Thanks for doing that.
