Candy Cab Coin Buttons

[RetroRGB]

I'm not sure what the rules are about self-promotion here, but the project is 100% free and open source, so I figured it's okay to share. It's a simple design, but one I've never seen before, so I wanted to share it with everyone. It should fit all Candy Cabs, but you'll have to measure to be sure: https://www.retrorgb.com/candy-cab-coin-slot-button-replacement.html

Also, it would be awesome to see people's (re)design of the top cover. I bet someone could think up something really cool looking and there should be plenty of room, even with the current spec'd buttons: https://twitter.com/RetroRGB/status/1593989171189878787

Nice one @RetroRGB. That’s a super clean mod.

Definitely a nice way to add additional button functionality on the panel without drilling extra holes or anything.

The ‘rules’ are that if you make enough cool shit you get your own subsection

TRP just made it into a 3D print. I love the bevel version! I'll have some of these made next week to see what they look like in person: https://www.printables.com/model/320668-candy-cab-coin-slot-button-replacement-faceplate

If anyone has a weird or fun design, I'll make that too!

Thanks for this -- super cheap and very useful. I'm going to give it a go on my Blast and Astro!
