I am looking to buy some buttons to add to my arcade games for people to add credits. I am going to mount them on the cab and that way people can just push them in sted of me leaving the coin door open.

I have Road Blaster and Steel Gunner. I was going to mount the buttons on the bottom on where the cab kicks out for the control pannel. I guess I could make up a different coin door out of wood or metal with holes for the buttons, the coin doors need work. This way I could keep the coin doors the way they are and put them back on if I sell them. I did find some on the Paradise arcade web site but thought I might get a betted deal on shipping from someone not on a island.
What about putting them on free play? Or here's another solution if you want to keep the attract modes: http://www.onecircuit.com/node/41
Not sure if they have free play, I have looked at the menu on the Steel Gunner and did not see anything for it. How hard is it to hook up thr switch in you link?

I personally dislike this idea. I have 4 games that don't do freeplay nicely and for those I just keep quarters on the bezel channel. Works great. During a party it's a bit of a hassle as you have to constantly refill the quarters as they are used, but it's not that bad.
If your game has a service panel then wire a button to that. There is usually a pre-existing hole for it. Then just open the coindoor and coin up.
Worse comes to worst, wire a credit button but leave it dangling inside the cabinet with easy access to the coindoor.
I'm also not a fan of the extra credit button drilled into the machine. I've yet to see it done in a way that doesn't make me do a "stank beer face" reaction.
