OK! Yes you will need a separate interface for that one....

Yes!  the whole thing there (the blue switch and the paperclip type thing) form the Microswitch...

You will need to do some re-wiring though!!  The ground for your coin door lights should not also be used for the microswitches......  This works in a real arcade machine, because it has a comon power supply and voltages at the coin door. But in your case you need to rewire the microswitches separately from the coin door lights.

Imagine those Microswitches (the blue ones) as being the same as the microswitches that are on the bottom of your arcade buttons.  You need to wire one common ground wire to both switches which you should connect to the COM connection on them and run it back to a ground connection on the Keywiz.  Then you need 1 wire from each switch, connected to the NO (normally open) terminal and run each of those wires back to the coin1 and coin2 inputs on the Keywiz. 

The coin mechs you have, will discriminate the correct coin type and if the coin is found to be correct, they will then drop it into that switch otherwise they will drop it out of the reject slot. 

I can't actually see the coin mech type that you have but I suspect from looking at the part I can see, that they may need a 12V power supply as well.

Cool I kind of figured out what you meant, I will run the grounds separate and then attach the coin mechs to the coin 1 and 2 from there where would the 12v power connect to?

Yeah! you've sort of got it..... It's the microswitches you connect to the keywiz though.... Not the coin mechs.

As for the suspected 12V power, I would need to see the actual coin mech,if you can get a good photograph of the mech and I can read the type from it then I might be able to answer that one.  They do look to be a fairly modern mech.  Any idea which machine this came out of??

From the side please... The coin mechs are the two black boxes with the blue and white labels on them.... I need to see the mech and be able to read the label.
