[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 279271, member: 134"] Picked up some rusty legs (probably just paint them or spray with a bedliner type material), a well worn Bally coin door (no hinges, missing lock mechanism and start button, some rust), a Williams plunger assembly (will need some new springs and some polishing), and 4 arcade buttons for relatively cheap. [IMG]https://image.ibb.co/dFC2Mp/9_E4050_D4_DA97_4_E1_C_BBBE_05_B62_BD8_A8_B5.jpg[/IMG] Not 100% on if I'll use the coin door or not, but I'd like to. It's not just a matter of if I can find a hinge that'll work at the hardware store, but how the hell am I going to do that metal surround? [IMG]https://image.ibb.co/iUFdu9/4080_C00_B_8124_43_B9_85_F2_2_CF7437_BB77_C.jpg[/IMG] That's from my Eight Ball Deluxe which uses the exact same coin door. For reference, here's what the full door should look like... [IMG]https://image.ibb.co/kAdEZ9/2_D497_F41_E2_AF_4_AEC_898_A_78_A7120_E6_D82.jpg[/IMG] So I don't know.
