starting on a black hole pinball project and notice that there's a ugly rusty plate of metal that blocks 2 coin slots on the coin door plate
i think its spot welded .
what's the easiest way to remove it ? is there somewhere where i can get a placement for this?

You can put up a WTB ad in the marketplace, and it would also be a good idea to monitor ebay's pinball parts category.

You could also check with PBResource.

i did manage to get it off but had to drill holes were the spot welds were to remove it.

Ask a Gottlieb owner for mercy, and respectfully ask if they have a spare they will sell you.

too late now, but a spot weld cutter would have allowed you to remove the plate without going all the way through the "good" part.

well , the front was kind of messed having those welded burn spots on it . so it would not be perfect either way.

Sometimes you can knock those down with a wire brush.
