(the day after this thread started I got a dedicated Asteroids).



From now on I'm being nicer to the newbs. ;)

I have to agree though, Mag seems to be trying his best to not do anything at all here. Seriously, how hard is it to hook up your coin mech switches?

mag48 ... in the simplest terms, you are missing the connectors from the white block to the switches in the coin door. Seeing a picture of someone else's wired-up coin door isn't going to help.

So you either need to get a replacement coin door harness OR you need to go through the steps we have been describing.

I think your chances of getting a harness to match the wiring in your machine are pretty darned low, particularly since most people would need to know the answers to the questions we have already asked (in order to verify that they would match).

Cheers.

Actually no. I still have no idea why you know nothing about these machines. What puzzles me is why you seem so unwilling to learn.

Buy Saint's book - and read it. You will learn. Do searches in the forums, you'll learn even more, and see pictures. The best way to learn this stuff is just jump in and start messing around...
