Quoted from KenLayton:Yes, use the Evapo-Rust on it. You'd be surprised what it can do.
I use Rust-Oleum # 7213 Silver Hammered spray paint (barcode 020066721381) on that type of door. It matches the original color very well.
The color was my next question. Whether it was gray or chrome. IPDB has one with a chrome door but everywhere else they appear gray. It’s tough to tell in some pictures. But I thought they were gray on most games.

Quoted from Poida:I got this rusted Meteor door to come up well. Sandblasted then painted the main door parts, and the rest was zinc plated. The coin entry surround was badly pitted so didn't turn out well. Can live with it but will swap it out with a better one, if I can find one.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Nice work. Is that coin entry plate in AUD or USD? I was just trying to figure out cost comparison at that time to play a game.
Quoted from Poida:Yes thats 20c Aussie.
That’s a deal then. If you were to break it down with inflation it cost about 5 cents USD per game. At that time in the US quarters were already being jammed into machines.
Quoted from Manny65:At the start of 1980 the exchange rate was AUD$1 = USD$1.1, so a game on that pin cost the equivalent of 22 US cents (assuming it only required one coin for a credit).
Makes sense. I just looked at inflation as a whole I didn’t consider looking at exchange rates at the time. Dumb on my part.

Quoted from Vandy89:After the EvapoRust I wet sanded up to a grit of 2000. It is still far from perfect but better than what I started with.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
there is hope for one of my trashed doors. I want to try evaporust in my ultrasonic cleaner. It says right on the bottle that you can use it in one.
