I have an Ice Cold Beer and Crazy Climber.

Please tell me the link to get the coin door lock that fits these games.

Everything I buy is too small the the coin door hole.

Just bought Arcadeshop locks. Don't fit. Driving me nuts!

Also, where can I get matching .25cent inserts.

Thanksssssssssssssssss

chips4sle sells all kinds of locks. I don't know about Taito Uprights but my Trimlines both take the 5/8" locks in the front and the 1 1/8" lock in the back.
 
Really? I have "regular" locks in my CC that has that same coin door. Mine are Bob Roberts locks. Maybe I filed the hole a bit? I don't recall doing anything special but if the locks don't fit that's what I'd do. I used a regular lock for the coin box door too, although I remember I did have to mod the lock in some way to get that to work (I don't recall offhand, but it had to do with the cam, not the hole).

Hey, what's the yellow thing made of that mounts into/behind the big round hole? Mine just has some unpainted sheet metal or something, and I'd like to make it look more stock. Maybe I just need to paint the metal yellow. Or maybe I should paint it orange to match CC :D. Anyway, if you have time to post a close up pic of that yellow thing from the inside, I'd appreciate it.
 
here are the pics you requested

It is plastic.

Thanks for the pix, Mr Do.

My Lock 'n Chase has this coin door, and is missing some parts.

Is there a souce for the green 25c plastics? and for the Taito overlay?

I also need a complete set of coin mechanisms for this door (everything that attaches to the back of the door). Are these parts shared with any other door? Any idea what i need to look for (manufacturer, part #, etc.)?

thanks!

I redid the lock on this coin door about a month ago. I had to file the SH!T out of the hole to get a standard lock to fit. Good luck.
 
Credit button

Those doors resemble a door I saw once on a pin...I know Taito did not make pins, but maybe the door supplier was the same and the hole was for a pin credit button?

Just a thought...

I always wondered that too. My Stratovox had it and I could never figure out why.

Taito used to (still does!) make electromechanical games, and probably like Midway's old coin doors, used to have the "Start/Credit" button on the door itself.

EDIT: Huh, that's the first time I've ever seen that coin door with TAITO AMERICA CORPORATION sticker on it.

Taito Brazil did make some pins, but they used a Gottlieb style coin door.
