So.. the quarter just hits the switch which which causes the switch to touch some metal on the microswitch?

Chris:

The microswitch has a long thing metal wire lever that should pass under the coin mech.  As a quarter falls through, it trips this wire and sets off the switch.  This type of microswitch is not going to have a regular plunger like you're used to.

Just flip the wire down with your finger and you'll hear/feel the click and it will all make sense to you. The wire doesn't "touch metal", it just clicks the internal switch, like a joystick switch or button switch.


DreamWeb:

I see it now!  And it works, I think.  I don't have it hooked up to the Keywiz yet.. but, it looks like it should be working.  Thanks guys!

I should also add that the sound of a quarter going through coin mechs is one heck of a satisfying sound.  All kinds of nostalgia attached to that for me.
