I want to scratch build a Ms. Pac-Man for my next project.
For my last project, I used a "Wells Gardner style pinball door" from Twisted Quarter. It was a good match for the original item.
The Midway coin doors are kind of unique.
My preferred route would be to buy a repo door with mechs and just use that. I can't seem to find anyone that makes/sells Midway-style reproduction doors. Lots of parts, but not the whole kit. Are there any that I'm missing?
I dunno if I want to refurb an old one. I mean, I guess I would if I had to, but the perfectionist in me would turn it into a huge project with sandblasting, polishing and powder coating.
I see other people's projects were they just use your run of the mill door. I'm sure 95 percent of the people who encountered my machine wouldn't know any better, but I don't know if I could get over it.
