: 5 through 8 for coins unless you plan on using a coin door.
: I had thought of something similar in terms of having a "fixed" area and a swappable panel. How are you planning to do this? The reason I thought about it is that I like racing games and would like to a swappable steering wheel/shifter.. I've seen several ways of making interchangable panels and was wondering what direction you're going.
I've got a coin door... Happs 4-position over/under. Big but functional. (I've got a shot of it on my web page) I thought about having coin-in buttons, but decided against it. If you wanna play a game on my cab, either beg me for the key or fork over a quarter :)
I asked here a couple of weeks ago for suggestions for how to implement a removable/interchangeable control panel, and got several useful ideas. I'm still not 100% certain which way I'll go, but I'm leaning towards one of the simplest, cheapest suggestions I got: Velcro. It sounds cheesy, but that stuff can really hold.
The other solution I'm considering is using window sash locks. Home Depot has some nice low-profile ones in anodized black.
