Bought some Bally coin doors to restore and was tearing them down for an Evaporust bath. One had a corroding block off plate. Upon further examination I noticed the coin micro switch wiring was cut. I guess the switch or coin mech went bad, and the tech was stuck on how to block off that chute. I'd of just flipped the coin entrance plate around so it was blank, but this custom cut block off plate is a first for me.

I pulled a Wico out of a Night Rider and replaced it with a chime unit.

At least that's easily fixable.
Quoted from Markharris2000:Maybe they also put a squeeze of epoxy under each leg to hold those legs in place??? LOL
The unnecessary flat washers in front of the bolts suggest otherwise, but who knows?
Quoted from Mk1Mod0:I want to know how they tightened the screw BEHIND the stand-up target!
Offset Phillips wrench?
