Some progress pics from the past few days.
I took a photo of the coin door before disassembly. Also a mockup pic of my cleaned up parts mounted temporarily on a takeman repro door. I was going to use the repro door and save the original door for another later Midway project, but it appears that the cocktail version of the door has a tiny mounting bracket to aid in mounting the coin counter in between the coin chutes. It's possible to mount the coin counter on Takeman's door, but there's no where to put the top screw. You can see a peek of the top bracket (and the screw) in the before pic above the coin counter. I had no idea this little bracket was there - I wonder if Takeman knows this. I'll wait until my OEM door comes back from the painter.
Also snapped a shot of the mess from control panel teardown.
