Hi;
I'm restoring a Galaga and need the Midway plate that is glued to the
center of the coin door. I came across it a couple of weeks ago but
forgot to bookmark it. Does anyone have the link?
Thanks
Jeff

Arcadeshop carries them. There is 2 or 3 different styles.

arcadeshop.com has them... Also, Rich from ThisOldGame.com sells them
as well.

I think thisoldgame.com are aluminum where arcadeshops.com is metal/
formica or something. Arcadeshops is the one that I have on my Ms. Pac
that I restored and they look great IMHO. TOG wasn't producing them at
the time I needed them but I'm sure they look great like his other
projects. Can't really go wrong either way.

What did you use to fasten it to the coin door with? I am about to put the
original one back on my Wacko.

Arcadeshop.com's come w/ double faced tape and I think it looks fine.
Some people just NEED the rivets because they feel it looks better w/
them. I believe you can get thisoldgame.com's coin door plate w/ and w/
o holes. If you saved the old rivets you could double faced tape
(foam) then use some 5 minute epoxy on the back of the rivet to hold
them in. This is assuming you drilled them out from the back. I am
about ready to restore two coin doors. For the door that is going on
my machine I'll use a plate w/o holes and double faced tape. For the
door I'm selling installed on a cabinet I'll be reusing the rivets and
the nicer of the two name plates.

Maybe someone sells new rivets. Or you could find some SMALL screws.
