Hi Guys,
Just thought I would clarify a few things about the doors. Originally, you had a traditonal single slot in the middle of the door. With Ac/dc being a huge seller, with both operators and the home market, it was decided with the Ac/Dc pinball championships happening and a big demands from oprearators, that the machines have note reader capability. Hence, the change in the door. As the yanks already have note reader doors and two slots, this is this door was fitted to all Australian machines from about May onwards whilst a new door was redesigned and manufactured. We now have new doors on the machines arriving which have the coin slot on the far right hand side and the bill acceptor plate on the left hand side. the middle of the door will not be blanked off like the previous one.
I have arriving in my container on Friday a few new older style doors with the single slot in the middle and no bill acceptor plates.If it really bothers you and I can see how it might, let me know and I will see what I can do. You can also remove the centre plates from the door and fit the top and bottom slots and it will look like a two slot American door.
I hope this explains the reasons why the doors were changed. It only affected a small number of machines during the transitional stages of the new door being manufactured.
Regards Joe
