Bally, 1980Where can I get a suitable protection nail/tack thing that is on the front of the cabinet. When you open the coin door enough, the coin return button hits the cabinet face. It is the little shiny circle in the image to the left of the coin door. I have two cabinets I restored and there is nothing except me being careful from damaging my new paint. I cannot find anything like this that looks right.
I've used side rail nails in the past. They're a pretty close replacement, just a tad smaller surface area.
Nickel plated or stainless coin door carriage bolt looks great. If you don't want to drill all the way through the cabinet a McMaster Carr 9563K82 hole plug looks good but it will need epoxied in place.
