Alright, I got my dad to help me cause I didnt want to completely fuck up the coin door, and we figured the easiest way to do this was to just take the metal coin box and put it on the new coin door, since they were DIFFERENT frames, but no by a lot. There were some extra pegs and the sides stuck out a tiny bit further, but it was easy to get them to fit, cause before there was a loop for a padlock on the cabinet itself, but we took it off, and it fit fine. To get the coin box to fit, we just cut the parts of the metal that were being hit by the pegs, and cut the top's because the coin slots were not the same size. One barely fit, the other the quarter would just hit the coin box and chill there. This was an easy fix by just cutting larger holes where the old holes used to be, they were round cuts, since that was the easiest way to do it, but no one can see it from the outside, so it doesnt matter. I screwed on the coin box and pushed it into the cabinet, and there we go, a fully working coin box. (I also dont have any of the keys for the locks, so I just unscrew those long metal strips that are used to lock it, and am gonna put tape on the inside so you just gotta get somethin like a - screwdriver to undo the tape from the outside, no biggy.

: Does anyone know for sure if all coin mechs are interchangeable. Is it an industry standard? I have a Coin Controls door, and I need new mechs and I am wondering if Happs mechs will work/fit in the Coin Controls Mech holders. Anyone who has some experience with this, please post. Thanks.
