Hey guys, I'm almost done restoring a World Cup Soccer 94, but have a weird request. Some idiot drilled a hole (for no reason?) right where it says "Coin Toss." Can someone take a high res, straight ahead picture of the word coin toss on the front of the machine? Straight ahead, high res, close up and minimal flash. Anyone? I'd really appreciate it. Don't have to take the legs off or anything. :)
 
I can get it for you tomorrow if noone gets it to you before that. I wont be at my father in law's until then.

Thanks. I've asked a few times at RGP, and they didn't reply. It's really just a close up (stright on, so I can get a good copy of it) of the word COIN TOSS. I want to make a high res decal from controlpaneloverlays.com to cover up my messed up one. I've done full side art for arcade machines, so how hard could it be to do a little patch like this?

Anyhow, thank you very much. As high res as your camera will go, please. :)
 
Thanks, but I'm looking for just the word, COIN TOSS. Somebody can do it... all it would take is 3 minutes (if that).
 
Hope these work for you. If you need the original files, let me know and I will e-mail them to you. Unfortunately there is a hole in hos as well, but hopefully it will be enough for you to get what you need. I honestly never noticed the hole until I took these photos tonight :(

Here's some without the flash, so the color is a little off:

Hope this helps.

Hey Chris, I appreciate it. I just went into photo shop, but the picture is just too darn small, and the hole is beyond my ability to fix convincingly. I still need a pic, but thank you so much anyhow. The hole is what I'm trying to fix on mine. :(
 
put a lock bar back on across the coin door?

Or just spackle the hole with poop? Seriously, I'm not putting a god forsaken lock down bar on my machine. I've spent a ton of time and money making the rest of it look awesome, this is the last nagging thing I need to do. I even bought a new coin door. Not about to cover it up.

Chris, thanks so much! The top two were awesome, just not big enough and that hole sort of killed it. So many people own this game, too. Surprised you're the first and only to help me! :)
 
How 'bout this?

If it works for you, PM me and we can figure out a way to get you the full resolution image. I realize the colors are not quite right... but you can fix that with Photoshop/GIMP.

Look! No hole! LOL

Seriously though, the original files are much larger. If they would help, let us know and we can get them to you I'm sure. You could use Altan's image, and mine for the color, then Ta-Da!

Do you have a hold on the left side of the coin door as well? Chance are you do but might be in an easier to cover up area since it is all black. I have the same hole and the previous owner just got a black flat smooth head carriage bolt and nut on the inside to fill it in. That might be the easiest and cheapest route but if perfection is what you are after then fill it with a dowel, sand, repaint and apply a new decal.
 
I like minty fresh stuff as much as the next guy, but in this case I'd go with a black bolt. No one will know it's not standard except you and other pin people.

Yes, but my hole is HUGE. I'm not sure what the hell they thought they were drilling for... oil? It's as big as a push button, and leads nowhere.
 
I think Atlan's got the hookup. He's going to get me a higher res pic of the one he posted, which will be great. Thanks, everyone! :)
