Looking to buy Atari Coin Doors to replace these. Could use a couple Williams or Taito too.

I sent a bunch of Atari and Williams Coin Doors to be stripped for powder coating and they came back like this:

Warped and bubbling!!! The bubbles are actually hard metal and can't be sanded down so the coin bezels are all shot too.

So... do tell how that happened? Was it a local place or someone here? How... I mean HOW did they warp them that bad? Geeze... I hope you're getting some compensation at least.

Good luck.
 
It was a new guy, the regular guy wasn't there. He put them in some heated chemicals or something. I thought i was looking at props for a new Tim Burton or Dr Suess movie. I got $450 credit for future strip/powdercoating jobs.

Figure shipping might get expensive. So you might want to go local. Since you in LA, I would probably try to vist gene at vintage amusements. I would be he has a pile of doors you could look through/grab. hopefully he would be reasonable. Gene is in glendale.


There is another operator who was crushing a bunch of cabs last time I was down there. I think he might be cheaper than gene. I think their shop is in burbank.. Can't remember the name..
