CoinBlockers

Arcade / on-location games can credit up through various non-traditional means, e.g., paid location entry with all games on free play, swipe card systems, integrated cashless systems, bill collectors, etc. Some locations might switch games between coin drop and free play for tournaments or other events. In these cases, operators may want to cover the coin slots to prevent confusion -- especially from younger clientele who aren't always sure how to operate or credit the games. Locations who do utilize coin drop might experience a coin slot that jams or breaks (without immediate opportunity to repair), so an operator might want to cover one of the two available slots.

In any of the above scenarios, consider Rocket City Pinball's CoinBlockers! These are designed to fit most modern games that use the Universal Pinball Validator Door (P/N 40-0696-30) from Suzo-Happ (reference https://na.suzohapp.com/products/coin_doors/40-0696-30). CoinBlockers are designed to snugly fit over the coin slot frames, and have a textured surface finish to blend in with the finish of the door. Simply press the CoinBlocker firmly in place and the coin slots disappear! To remove, firmly grasp the CoinBlocker and pull/rock it until it pops off.

Q: Could a guest remove this?
A: Only with adequate force -- but why would they? The CoinBlocker blends in with the door and in most cases will be completely ignored. It cannot be removed with an inadvertent bump; they are very snug when installed so removal requires intent.

CoinBlockers are available in Dual-Slot style which covers both slots (ideal for free play or swipe card setups). Broken or jammed slot? Cover it in a flash (until you have time to repair it) with the single-slot style CoinBlocker. One wall on the Single-Slot version is thin enough to fit between the two slot frames. Single-Slot style can also be used on doors with wider slot spacing (e.g., 40-0707-00), or exported games with only a single slot.

Wanna get fancy? CoinBlockers can also be customized with your location's logo! Send a vectorized or layered version of your logo and it can be printed right onto your CoinBlocker. (For customized CoinBlockers, you must add one Customization Fee to your cart, regardless of the number of CoinBlockers you intend to order. This is for the time required to process the logo and integrate it into the CoinBlocker model for printing.)

Total Nuclear Annihilation Start Button

Featuring a radiation warning symbol, whose yellow base and symbol area light up! Button has a rounded surface, pleasing to the touch. Includes a full housing assembly to replace the smaller OEM start button and cover the counterbore in the cabinet.

Did you know -- this symbol is called a "Trefoil" and was actually designed to be magenta on a blue background? The blue background was changed to yellow in 1948, and while magenta is still the design intent for the trefoil, current regulations allow for black as a substitute.

Because of this interesting symbol history, the TNA button with a magenta trefoil or a black trefoil. The choice is yours!

Perfect for Jurassic Park (Stern or DE), Road Show, Alien, Ghostbusters, TNA, Punny Factory, or any other game that brings in caution stripes to its art or accents! These posts are printed with two colors on each layer throughout their entire height, resulting in beautiful 45-degree caution striping.
