Coin Unit from Daytona USA cab? - Pics added

Ok, fewer and smaller images, hopefully this stays up for a while.

I hafta be real honest, I am no coin door expert, but it looks to me like your White/Blue, Yellow/Blue pair is Coin 2's switch and White/Orange Yellow/Orange are your switches, everything else seems to be an accept/reject/counter mechanism.

This is good information, since I know nothing about coin mechs. I guess the accept/reject sensor, upon acceptance drops the coin into the coin box and sends a signal, which I would hook up to an optipac, or whatever device as 5(1 credit) in mame keys?

There isn't really a "sensor", per se - accept/reject is decided by a mechanical device (the actual coin mechanism) that you are missing from that coin door. There would be two of them (one for each slot), and they would mount in the brackets on the back of the door. The actual credit is provided when the coin passes through the mechanism successfully and trips the small black microswitches at the bottom of your assembly there - to wire it up to an I-Pac, Opti-Pac or whatever, you'd just remove the red quick disconnects that are on the switch now and connect the proper terminals from your encoder to the (now vacant) terminals on the switches (just like you'd hook up a pushbutton).
If you're not planning on using the coin counter or (what I assume to be) volume knobs, etc there, the rest of that wiring is incidental. Don't let it confuse you.
If you haven't got it ironed out by the time I get home from work tomorrow, I'll try to take some pics of the same coin door I've got in my Hang-On project to illustrate the point.

I'd really appreciate those pictures, but there's no rush. I'm not going to be building for a while yet. I have a broken leg right now.
I wasn't even aware that the mechs were missing. I realized that a chute of some kind was missing. I'd like to see the picture to see what the coin mech looks like.
I'll have to sit down and read the manual that came inside it to see if there's anything about the coin mech itself.
