: Picked up a coinco coin door on ebay for cheap, but it needs some work. First, it was *very* badly painted; I need to know the best way to remove all of the old paint so I can re-finish it properly. Second, what is the best paint to use for this thing?
: Internally, the door is pretty sound - one of the mechs is in great shape, the other is pretty much thrashed. Was thinking of replacing it with an Imonex mech from Happ; are these mechs pretty much universal?
: Thanks!
The Imonex coin mechs are really nice. No moving parts (when you get it and look at it you will say Is this it??). I got the "Imonex $.25, .882 & .900" Token Mech" from Happ so that I could use quarters or tokens. I even loosened the size restrictor (the triangle where the coin enters the mech) and slid it over and it accepts even bigger tokens (like the Chuck E. Cheese ones which are bigger than a quarter).
