Major issues at present are trackerball and coin door.

Trackball

--- Quote ---I have the Happs 3" high ball translucent blue and was wondering how to wire it up? the green wire whats that for? i have a theory it might be needed to power the thing so a power supply will be needed but if im wrong then dont want to blow the whole thing?

You're wrong - that's a ground wire for taking static electricity from the ball to ground.  The search function is your friend here.  A search on Trackball ground wire reveals this

--- Quote ---My coin door is the next major issue i got it from happs and i cant work out how the hell i can wire up the thing to my encoder as it doesn't have micro switches like i expected hope fully get a pic up soon so someone can point me in the right direction.

I would have thought it would have microswitches.  You can either have it activate when a coin is inserted, or when the reject switch is pressed, or both.  Search is your friend.

Reject Switch

Fairly complicated detector circuit

You should also be able to just wire the door so a coin (usually) closes a switch and activate the I-PAC input, but I'm not sure how.

--- Quote ---and finally want to light the coin doors and trackerball but not sure how to get the supply from the pc? any pics or guides and if im right about the trackerball can i use the same supply for this??

You probably want twelve volt power - see http://www.dansdata.com/io020.htm  Use the Yellow and black wires.  Computer stores will have adapters to take power out a PCI slot in the case, but it's not required if you're not worried about looks.

Here's the pic of the coin door any ideas people? sorry if there not the best pics

RayB:

The red part is called a "coin mech" (coin mechanism) and it should be removable (not that you need to--I'm just letting you know) but if you look at the very very bottom of it, there SHOULD be a switch with a long thin wire attached to it.

Put a quarter in and check where it comes out. There is no switch there?? Usually coin doors come with the switches attached to them already.
