I have a very general question,

since I'm continuing to work on a reskin project I'd like to replace the coin door wich is completely bend in.

Did not get this bending removed, so I wan't to eventually replace that coin door.

Since it's a reskin it doesn't neccesarily have to be an original coin door (wich isn't available anyway).

So the question is:
Are all Major Coindoors the same size and would like a Data East Coindoor fit on a Williams machine?
(Just in terms of size and drillholes on the cabinet, not the inside of the door.)

Additional question:
Someone selling cheap coin doors that are... well, just "doors", without the coin part?

(Ideas for bending that door back into shape also appreciated. )

- Looking Forward posting an update in my "Bonkers" Police Force reskin. -

Since you did not link to a game, and referenced Data East - yes - all coin doors, for fitting purposes - interchangeable. At least since the late 80's. (Earlier EM, early SS, coin doors were different and it was hit and miss.)

Wiring and service switches may need to be changed or redone, but the door will fit to the cabinet.

Thx!

Yes working on a police force and can get a reasonably priced data east door.
