Nice work ! Chroming the coin entry plate will really finish the door off nicely.

Contact Swinks about the plastic coin inserts . Cost around $10 each, but they look good and are 3-D printed.

Well, frustrated at the condition and look for the cabinet next to the freshly refurbished coin door and legs and inspired by this restoration by Mitch http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=5851.15 guess what i'll be doing this long weekend.....

Stay tuned for lots of mishaps while i tackle my very first pinball cabinet restoration!
It's going to be a long week at work while i contemplate the project!
