I've only ever waffled on waffles myself.

Hehe that being said... It'll be on my cab!

Nah, coin reject buttons don't have anything to break.... it's just a plastic coin slot with a spring. The spring might wear out but that's a whole 50 cents to replace.

My coin reject buttons are also wired to be the coin buttons. I also have a cutoff switch to disable this function.
Here's how mine are set up:
The circled additional switches are Happ coin switches with the actuators bent in such a way that they are triggered by the coin reject assembly.

Chris,
I looked at your site and have a question about the cut off switch. You say this is part of a really old AT case which means that the two buttons are probably something like turbo and reset and what appears to be a key lock is the old way we used to lock the console. Are the two buttons set as the coin up bottons also? Is the key lock the cut off switch you talk about? If this is the case can you please tell me more about how you wired this? This is exactly what I have been thinking about doing (having a key lock act as the on/off switch for the coin up button).
