I'm trying to figure out how to make my own decals for my coin return buttons. I so far can't find information on this.

What I want to know is, how do i get the size right to fit on the button, and whats the best material to use? Thanks guys

True restoration is an art form. Like any good artist you have to know what your doing. Painting a single line on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece does not fly in restoring a arcade machine. Do it right

I can explain this ;)

http://na.suzohapp.com/all_catalogs/coin_currency_supplies/42-0517-00D

This is the coin reject button you see on the coin door. If your gets stuck you press the button and the coin comes out to the coin return/reject tray at the bottom.

I'm still trying to get my arcade business going, and I want to remove the happ 25C sticker inside the button which is really easy to do but i can't seem to get the measurements right to do it correctly. I'm also not sure what paper would be translucent enough to do it or if i should make a quality sticker with my logo the right size and attach that instead.

I know its a little thing by all standards but I figure if I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do it all the way.

I made my own for Centuri coin doors. Just take the thing apart and measure it! Smiley

Here's mine:

I was going to ask you, but I didn't want to be a bother. I have this problem though of any time i print something it comes out the wrong size.

some printers have that problem, or you might want to try to print in another program.

I may need to buy a laser jet printer or something more up to date/accurate. the one i have it's not junk or anything im perfectly happy with printing regular letters or something with it. However more often then not when i try to print something smaller with it like these decals they don't turn out very well.

So I just got in my coin door. The door itself is fine, i got it from X-Arcade. There is one fairly large issue. The return slot is fused and i get get there cheap bad looking sticker out of it.

Oh side note i know that the return stickers I made will work great. I used your returns john as a template to make mine, and mine turned out great. I'll Add photos to this topic a little later on.

I did some research on the matter. I found that the happ coin returns have a slot in it that you push the card out of. One of those little things no one bothered to mention so I made a video to explain it . Anyways this is solved.
