Title: Found! Nintendo coin door
Post by: joeks on July 25, 2009, 11:30:01 PM
For my scratch build DK cabinet I am in desperate search of a Nintendo coin door. None on Ebay at the moment, and when there is one they won't ship to the Netherlands most of the time.

Thanks for looking!
Barry

Hi Barry,

I know I know it's not so simple (it took me 2 years  :shock:)

you've tried on klov and arcadecontrols forum?

Thanks for the replies.
No I haven't tried KLOV and Arcadecontrols forum yet, will do that.

After a few months of not working on my scratch-build DK cabinet, I finally picked up this project with which I am busy for quite some time now,
Last week I finally painted the cab blue. Cabinet is almost done now. Just one final coat of blue and a final coat of black and the painting is done.
But I just won't settle with the Happ Coin door I originally bought for this cabinet.
It just wouldn't look right :)

For anyone interested, take a look at my progress so far --> http://donkeykongarcade.blogspot.com/

Thanks to Sonic 1992 I was able to buy this coin door. Seller ships the door to Sonic 1992 in the USA and then he will ship it to me in the Netherlands :) Thanks Barry!

I am so happy! It will be an expensive piece of history when I finally have it in my hands but it's worth it.
So glad I settled for nothing less than original.

Now, maybe it's time to get me a DK board instead of a computer :)

Question for Scr33n or Darth Nuno,
if I use a computer, could you point me in the right direction about using DOS AdvanceMAME? Installing etc?
I have a Windows XP computer running MALA frontend with MAME in my Sega Astro City.
But for this DK project I think I want to try DOS AdvanceMAME. Allready have a homemade VGA->Scart cable like you two build them :).

It is really hard indeed to gather some of those parts. The reproduction art I needed, marquee, cpo, stickers etc. no problem. Most of that I bought off arcadeshops like MikesArcade, Quartercade or Lizzardlick.

This coin door however, a lot of sellers on eBay just won't ship abroad. Found 2-3 other Nintendo coin doors before this one and sellers didn't want to ship it international. Though I never had any problems with things that did got send out overseas. All arrived in good condition.

Hey Scr33n!

Wow, that coin door is like "New Old Stock" :)

Well, mine is crossing the atlantic at the moment I guess. :)
Sonic 1992 here, was so kind to handle the international shipping for me.
I found an original DK joystick I purchased as well so he shipped that all in one parcel from the US to the Netherlands.

Once I recieved it I will let you guys know.

Thanks for asking!
