Bally coin insert.
« on: July 21, 2014, 10:28:22 PM »
I'm looking for some bally coin inserts.

See pic. But would love one that says

press to start.

Or

Bally

Or

Insert 10cents.

My coin door is a bit naked so I have bought a decal sticker for the door. Plus would like to put inserts in just to spice it up a bit.

Any body have any they would like to sell or no of any online stores that have them.

Yeah I prefer to buy in Australia. Or by second hand.

I have a thing about the postage costs. It does my head in how much it costs.

I found it easier to make them up.
Just cut out a piece of opaque white plastic to match the metal cover plate then print of the coinage you want on see thru plastic a4 sheet and overlay it on top.

I used an old light cover as most of them are white opaque plastic.
As far as the a4 sheet goes I pinched, sorry borrowed from our office. Buy it at newsagents or office works.
It's what they use for overhead projectors.

That's a great idea I will check it out. I have only the one coin slot and the other two are blank I will try and do a

press to start

And a

Press to eject

on the other two. I was looking at the old rub on letter fonts we used to use at school.

The old letraset, I remember it well, searched but can't find it anywhere.
Where getting old...
Also make sure the slot in the steel cover plate is wide enough, if their Europe plates they might have a bump in them that might need filing out.

Made these today. $2 a sheet. Expensive sheets.

But then realised I wrote eject not reject. Lol.

Are these transparencies that you buy and print on? If so I know officeworks offer the same but you provide the artwork and then they print it on A4 for less than a couple of bucks. So if that helps, you will also be able to get them to print colour graphics as well

good point as you could do a say red box with the font in front of it to simulate your desired coin plate and officeworks run transparencies through their photo developer which gives a stronger, truer colour and sharper image. I recently did this for something pin related that I am working on with excellent results.
