one of my next projects is to convert all my games which can't be set on freeplay to accept tokens. to make this project perfect, i want to exchange the labels of the coin insert buttons which normally display the currency to be used :arrow:

i'm pretty sure that there are ready-to-print labels out there already, BUT i have no idea what the exact term of those labels is - which makes looking for them quite difficult. i need labels saying "1 token" and "freeplay" (with the "push to reject" text underneath). so, if anyone has a lead, please let me know ... :-*

I've got Atari one's with 1 Guilder on it. Got JPG but even better EPS file too.
Find it here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=75835.0
To print these .......just print them on a regular printing paper on your ink-jet. It's really amazing, but it looks GREAT.

looking great, but the text doesn't fit my purpose ;). do you know what they are called?

you mean regular paper you use for printing letters and stuff?

I'm still looking for a "1DM red plastic' thing, like those on your picture ::)

Yes sir, the stuff that is already loaded in your printer. Works fine. It totally amazed me, I just printed it to test it, but it looked so good I decided to keep them like that !

we have some space ully; when we are going to print the Jungle king bezel, the monitor part is waste, there fit alot of coin insert plates there... ;)
just give your ideas and measurements to the new vector king and you will be fine soon ;D
ps the font looks like helvetica neue bold ..

hello mr vector king :spaceace:
well, as i've said: i need two different inserts: one saying "TOKEN" (or would you say "1 TOKEN"?) and one saying "FREEPLAY" (perhaps we should divide that word into FREE and PLAY (with a dash?) not sure what looks better). And at the bottom "PUSH TO REJECT" (as you can see on the original inserts). André posted a link to his ESP file, perhaps you could use that. I just measured one my my inserts, dimensions are 3.0 x 1.6 centimeters!

I'll be back ;)

Etienne, you amaze me everytime! ;D

Etienne, you amaze me everytime! ;D
me to, BUT ... 8)
get rid off that atari logo, because i want to use the inserts on all of my machines, not just atari PLUS i prefer the version which just says token (over 1 token) and the freeplay version without the dash. additionally, can you capitalize all the letters in FREEPLAY and make both the token and the freeplay size bigger? this text has to be larger than the push to reject text ...
if you send me the file, i can experiment a little bit myself - my skills are limited, but changing the font size should be doable ;)
one more thing regarding the logo (which just came to my mind): what do you think of putting each manufacturer's logo in there, like williams, sega, atari etc.?

Great idea about the manufacturer logos, it gives a "finish" to it IMHO
I can sen you the file, sure, or you tell me what labels you need.
You call the shots here remember ;)
EDIT:
Text adjusted as requested, and you got email ;)

i'll go over my machines and tell you what i need 8). then we can decide whether it looks kickass or lame ...

Sure, in the meantime i did williams and Sega ;)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/williamscoin.jpg) (http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/segacoin.jpg)
-
what do you guys think? personally, i like it a lot, but i'd prefer simply the williams W without the williams behind it (if you know what i mean). then i think the SEGA logo is too big, width should be the same as TOKEN width (to give it some type of symmetry and conform look). i like the size of FREEPLAY and TOKEN, although i would move TOKEN either up to be on the same line as FREE or down to be right in the middle between FREE and PLAY (if you know what i mean).
one more thing: does it make any sense at all to put the words FREEPLAY and PUSH TO REJECT on a coin insert button label when there are no coins to be inserted? :-[ ???
-
I wouldn't change anything in the last format Eteinne did, the manufacturers logo should be a bit bigger imho then anything else on that label, I think it's perfect.I would also leave that "push to reject" there, it has an old aracde atmosphere. ;)

thx for your input, bela, good point. but what etienne should do is center the SEGA logo, it's too far on the right ;).
we need a totally different version for e.g. midway games (different coin door), i'll post a picture with measures later!
-
these ar just examples guys, to give you a visual idea
when you know what you want, i can make it as you desire ...
keep the things comming , i like these kind of little projects
-
Or how about a combi of your suggestions Ully ? ;)
Token lined up, Williams logo splitted, and made the "w circle" big, and used the text under it:

-

I think you defenetly need to keep that in, since the place where this will insert will be, is in fact a coin insert.
Free play of not, you still can throw a coin in, and that still can be stuck, so you need to "push to reject" it ;D
seriousely, i think that text just simply belongs on a coin insert.
-

agreed!
btw, my wizard of wor needs two of those inserts with the bally midway logo ;) - more info on additional inserts later (hopefully today)

totally cool (and lighning fast), etienne, but i'd like to see a version without the copyright and trademark symbols and without the midway symbol behind the word - keep it simple i'd suggest!
i'll be posting a picture with dimensions of the other insert version i'm looking for soon, so stay tuned! ;D
-
The TM and (R)'s will be way too small to see anyway...
-
ok, here are pictures of "the other version" - let me call it the square one (in contrast to the rectangular one. those inserts are made up of a piece of plexi and the text is printed on the back, but i'm simply going to stick the print to the back. or perhaps someone has another idea ... ?
anyway, the visible area of that insert is 3.0 x 3.0 centimeters - all i need there are the words TOKEN and FREEPLAY - and the manufacturer logos underneath!
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5254/5523194419_38f596e7f8_b_d.jpg)
this is the piece of plexi i was talking about, the size of the entire thing is 3.5 x 3.5 centimeters
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5096/5523786466_518233e4dd_b_d.jpg)
-
and here's what i need (for now):
the rectangular version for atari, bally midway, williams and sega (both FREEPLAY and TOKEN)
the square version for bally midway and centuri - also for FREEPLAY and TOKEN (@etienne: i'm sending you a hires version of the centuri logo via email)
thx so much, mr vectorking!

Euh YES!
what about the waste monitor part i was talking about when we print your jungle king ?
Thats going to be a "backmounted" sticker..... so...

I'd like those STERN insert Ully has, but done in red ;) IF there's still space ;) ;)

extremely slick work, mr vector king, BUT would it be possible to make TOKEN and FREEPLAY the same size (both in the rectangular and in the square versions). PLUS shouldn't FREE PLAY in the square version be just one word (FREEPLAY)?

Yeah yeah i know... in the rectangular the text "token" is not centered in the "middleline" of "freeplay" :twisted:
and the red square bally has still a space between free and play.
When we go in production i'll correct that as you like ;)

Stern ? Like the one's on Ully's Berzerk (maybe he can scan ?)

I got a stern vector, only need the size of the plexi insert & the colorcode of the dots and i can put that in there..
do you want red, of blue ? ;D :
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/sterncoindoor.jpg)
-
Red please :)
-
Red please :)
Ok, consider it done ;D
do you want the additional text of "token" or "freeplay" there too, or just like Ully's; plain "STERN" ?
@Ully , Measurements please for the Bezerk - Stern plexi inlay 8)
-
@Ully , Measurements please for the Bezerk - Stern plexi inlay 8)
once again it's a backprinted plexi 2 millimeters thick, dimensions are 4.45 x 3.5 (i've made the plexi slightly bigger, this way it fits perfectly into the insert), visible area after install is 3.8 x 2.85 centimeters!

i'd L-O-V-E to see a red version with the word TOKEN above, would be cool if you could do that, etienne! thx so much :-*
-
Ok, you asked for it... ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/sterncoindoor2.jpg)

Totally love the one with the TOKEN in STERN style.
But........maybe there's a F 1,- possibility ? ;D ;D ;D
-
(http://images.zaazu.com/img/scratch-head03-idea-animated-animation-smiley-emoticon-000416-large.gif) Let me see if that is within the possibilities...
Sure !
maybe some adjustments needed..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/sterncoindoorfl.jpg)
-
you can definitely add two red stern token inserts (stern and token = same font) to my list! those looks awesome

TOTALLY LOVE the one with F1,- in the Stern font....and since it's not original anyway, I'll go with 2 of those if possible please !!!
Muchas gracias !
-
I think i can squeez it in the "backprint" that i need to make some day..
(if the "customer" agrees ofcourse ;) )
-
ok, all i need now to finish this and to "place my order" are the following coin inserts for williams coin doors (defender etc.). as you can see, they are also backprinted on plexi :arrow:
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5255/5539165883_da7da1b1ef_b_d.jpg)
when installed, you don't see the number on the plate and you only see small parts of the color - i'd say we go with red to match them to the red logo in the center. i will try to get a scan of those plates later in order to match the font. don't know if we should include the logos on this one because we already have it in the center. i'd say simply use the word TOKEN centered and be done with it.
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5059/5539172931_443ab89ccf_b_d.jpg)
i don't want to ruin the original inserts by removing the old print, but luckily i found a shop which sells blank replacement ones. (http://www.pbresource.com/CoinDoor.html) scroll down to "Replacement Clear Spacer/Dummy Plate Coin Entry Plate". those should fit nicely!
i'll get back to you later, mr vector king :-*

that williams thing looks exactly like the zacc's have...

those gulden inserts seem to be exactly the same, size is 4.7 x 4.3 (H x W) - font looks identical as well. don't know if you have the time to compare them to yours. should i scan mine?
-
Well, i dont have them at hand now, the cab lives at my mothers remember..
ill see what i can do tomorow, I did alot of work in my house today and i am a little tired so tonight i am not leaving the house anymore ;)
-
Okay , here we go..
the decals removed from the coindoor..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/coin/los1.jpg)
The decals on top of eachother, which shows the visible area
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/coin/los2.jpg)
Time to take some serious measurements ;D
and yes, i think its the same Ully, 47,3 mm. x 42,9 mm.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/coin/los3.jpg)
Took my superdrawings into illustrator, and started to create both of them.
first the metal one
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/coin/01.jpg)
then the plexi one
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/coin/02.jpg)
And here i stacked the two files so a nice template appeared :D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/coin/03.jpg)
Yellow ?
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/coin/04.jpg)
Or red ?
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/coin/05.jpg)
ps. i thought they looked a bit empty with just "Token" so i took the liberty to add some text...
If you dont want that, i can remove it ofcourse..
-
Hey Ully, reading in your moonpatrol topic that you used the decal, does that mean they passed the quality check ?
if so , if so, then i can release the vector to the public ;)
Thanks

sorry for reviving this thread.
I am in the search for Atari DM Button Labels.
First I tried to edit Etiennes PDF, but the font is missing;-(
I am in the need for 1, 2 and 5 DM.
They look like this:

dont know when though, its a bit busy at the moment

You only need a scan to reprint it? I have one in my tempest, but cant say much now about the condition of them.
-
If you can scan yours and send it to me, i can vector it ;)

Etienne did a great job.
Thanks !!!!
