DK(jr.)/Popeye etc. owners question for you....

[level42]

....do you guys know if the carriage bolts on the control panel are the same size as those that hold the coin-mech ? (M3)

[level42]

.....and following this (if correct) does anybody know a European (or even Dutch maybe) source for M3 carriage bolts ? I'm looking everywhere but they never go below M5 it seems....

[Etienne MacGyver]

Goodluck on that !

I have searched the world for M4, and also those where almost impossible to find...

But....., now macgyver is thinking again...    maybe some model shop carries such small bolts

(modelbouw in dutch...) 

[level42]

I had already found them but I'd prefer a European source, for God's sake, I refuse to order METRIC bolts in the US of A !

However, that was _not_ my question and so I still need an answer

I also couldn't find them and I only need 1

Yeah I need 4 for my Galaxian coin mech. But I might need more once I'll convert my MB to DK.

I am very glad I still got the Asahi Seiko parts when Nerdtendo had them available. He's almost completely out of stuff now. Only solution is to buy complete mechs at mikesarcade for a whopping 65 USD....but those are the "DK" mechs with the flat faceplates.

Asahi Seiko stopped production of coin-mechs, not a big surprise since everything "coin" operated switches to swipe cards etc.

However, you can answer my question Gyruss......are they the same ? (In diameter, you can compare the "heads" you can see)

[gyruss]

Don't know because the cab is in storage at my job..

[Q*ris]

Not sure they are the same but they look like the ones on my Taito SI.
I've been to several shops here in Belgium to find new ones and they told me they don't have such small size.
