No, I’m not trying to sell you some guru meditation stuff. I just got my hands on a second hand coindoor for one of the machines and I’m happy with what I got at the price I got it!<\/p>\n

The door was complete and in ok condition. Rather dirty, but then agian, why would that door be any different from the others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A new door!<\/p><\/div>\n

As you can see, someone had used paper stickers and electricians tape to cover the original plastic coin fronts. But otherwise, in very good shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fully stocked<\/p><\/div>\n

Except for the middle coin selector, everything is there. Dirty, but there.<\/p>\n

First thing I did was take apart the front bezel and cleared away the paper stickers and electricians tape. Since there were three, I suspected they were the Deutsch Mark ones, like in the Pinball Champ. The Devil Riders has Belgian Frank ones and there are only two.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Uncovered and cleaned<\/p><\/div>\n

To my surprise, these are Belgian Frank ones. With hindsight I should have known. The door is from a Time Machine and they came out when the 10 Fr piece was still in circulation. When Devil Riders came out, it wasn’t.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cleaned and reassembled<\/p><\/div>\n

The picture doesn’t do it justice. The chrome is damaged in two or three places, but it shines a lot. You can actually see my reflection in it.<\/p>\n

At first my idea was to put this door in the Devil Riders, since some nitwit drilled a hole in the door to put a switch in to replace the outhole switch (I still get sick thinking of it). But then I decided to put it in the Pinball Champ. The frame looks a lot better and the door isn’t deformed, so it closes perfectly.<\/p>\n

So after the usual dismantling, cleaning and reassembling, I installed it in the Pinball Champ and it looks great!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Installed and reproduction sticker attached<\/p><\/div>\n

I added the reproduction sticker I got from David Gersic and now the Pinball Champ looks much better!<\/p>\n

When the Devil Riders is finished, I’m going to set the coin selectors to 0.50 \u20ac, so if people really want to donate, they can.<\/p>\n

In the mean time I also got that replacement coil for the popbumper in the Devil Riders and the part is back from the blacksmith waiting for reinstallation. That will be my next post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
