Heh. When I first bought my house I had plans to build a full arcade cabinet using a coin-mech and everything. I bought a whole bunch of joysticks, spinners, trackballs, buttons, etc. before I realized that I don't have space in my house to put one. Heh. I bought a beat-up coin door with coin-mechs, coin counter, etc. for about $10-$20 on E-Bay. Spent some time hammering the dents out, removing rust, then spraying the thing with Hammered Black Spray Paint. Thing looks brand new now. Though I don't have a cabinet to put it in, it works AMAZING as a piggy bank of sorts and anytime I get a quarter I still get a nice bolus of nostalgia as I pop the quarter in there.
