| Need pinouts for Atari (Tempest) Coin Door Harness |
| (1/1) |

As the topic says, I have an original coin door from an Atari Tempest machine. I would like to leave it intact and use in my Cowboy Arcade. I am hoping someone has the pinout diagram for the 24 pin male molex connector on this harness. Thanks!!! |

OK, I borrowed a multi-meter and traced down all the pins: 1 Center Coin Switch 2 Right Coin Switch 3 Left Coin Switch 4 Reset ON & Momentary Switch 5 "Tilt" Switch 6 Switch Common (Coin, Reset, Tilt) 7 Solenoid Common 8 Center Solenoid 9 Right Solenoid 10 Left Solenoid 11 Extra Counter A1 12 Extra Counter A2 13 Top Counter 1 14 Top Counter 2 15 Bottom Counter 1 16 Bottom Couter 2 17 Extra Counter B1 18 Extra Counter B2 19 Coin Return Lights Power 20 Coin Return Lights GND 21 Not Used 22 Not Used 23 Chassis GND 24 Chassis GND Now I have a different question. The Counters operate on 6VDC (I got them to actuate on 5VDC). It does not matter which way you apply power. While it is hard to folow the wiring in the harness, it is obvious that the coin switches are not connected to the counters in any way on the door. So, was there hardware that sent back a 6VDC signal when the board detected a coin drop to increment the counter? Is there any reason I can't just use a pretimed solenoid to provide a short pulse each time the coin switch contact closes? t3 |
