Title: WTB: Firefox upright coin box
Post by: italiandoh on October 14, 2012, 03:59:39 PM
The coin box of my Firefox upright has been pretty much hacked/beaten up and I would like to replace it. If anyone has a spare one and is willing to sell it, please drop me a message. The dimensions of the Atari coin box are 32,3 x 22,8 x 23,8 cm approximately. It might be the same size and shape of other Atari coin boxes, so please check if you have some spares.
Thanks,

Matteo

Hi Ully,
thanks for checking anyway. In the meantime I've seen http://thearcadeboneyard.com seems to carry them, so if no one comes up I'll order from them.
Bye,

Matteo

I checked with thearcadeboneyard but it costs a fortune to ship it to Italy (> 50 USD!). And it would not be perfect too, so it'll need to be sanded and repainted. So summing all of this it's really not worth it.
The box is this one:

It is used in several Atari arcade games, including Pole Position.
If anyone has a spare one, please let me know.
Thanks,

Matteo

I think it's the same in Pole Position 2 too.
Maybe ask Currycowboy from this forum.
He's totally cool to deal with, is located in UK and was selling PP2 parts recently.

What do these things go for in general? (or a marquee or other parts? beter to strip a cab or sell as a whole when in bad condition?)

sorry forget my question, checked the link of the arcadeboneyard, it's all there (although us prices)  :)
