The plexi painted in grey gives it that metal material effect.

The underside of the cpo. The micro switch's and buttons are held in place with 1/8 thick polycarbonate plexi which I heated to take the shape as seen in the pic. Cheesy but not bad for a Rookie!

The inside part. There was also a key hanging inside the door when I bought it.

The coin door I took apart and restored. Primer and a fresh Semi gloss black paint. The frame is from the electrical board I took apart and cut the edges open to the size of the door.

Ckong here is a link which are close to the measurements, dimensions, shape, and how the cabs in Greece were like. This is what I got and converted into what you see.

Thanks Ckong! The measurements of the cpo, bezel, and marquee were cut to fit an original Pac-Man. Same with the DK cpo, bezel, and marquee were cut to fit the original measurements of DK cab. I haven't measured the cab but it was smaller than what the Bezel, and cpo are that I made so, I had to modify the top half to make it wider.
About the white blocks...I wanted to give the image a matrix effect``just kidding man!`` If I don't have the permission of the legal guardian, then the white blocks would be the explanation for them being their instead.
I will get some more clearer pics when I am back in town, for the time being I used what I had on file.

That's great! Unfortunately for me it wasn't that simple to come by. When your options are limited like mine it's a pretty good alternative.

They are hard to come by here too. All the hardware stores I asked didn't have. What I did was get the Hex headed ones and placed it into the drill in place of the drill bit. I used a hand file and while the drill rotated the screw I smoothed out the Hex edges on the file. Then filed out the top of the head as much as I could to get it close to the Nintendo ones. It's an option to consider, if you like?
