Well I got it to recognize when the switch is pushed down but now I have another prob: When I push it down with my finger the controller inputs it but when a quarter goes through it does pick it up? Is the 25 cent piece not heavy enough lol?

There should be a small metal bar that looks like a bent out of shape paperclip coming out of the microswitch that when you move back and forth will register as a button press.  The quarter needs to pass over this wire to register.  You may have to do some bending of that wire since your door looks a little old.

My advice, had I caught this thread earlier, would have been to connect the coin mech to the coin buttons on the x-arcade. You could wire it up so that either would have worked!

Good luck getting the coin mech going - shouldn't be too hard to get quarters to register.
