helped me wire up my coin door!

Depending on the model of the bill selector it may be possible to operate it in "pulse" mode. In pulse mode a dollar bill will be recognized as four quarters and then four "pulses" will be sent out to interface. Do a google search for your particular bill selector and try to find the docs online.
Good luck!

Pull the bill validator and sell it for $100+. ;D

I just wired my coin inputs to the same spots as the 2 coin buttons I put on the cab. One for each switch in the coin door. I only have one coin acceptor, so it only works on one slot. I did 2 push buttons next to the coin door, using some bolt holes that were there (most likely from a security bar). Some games need to have separate coin inputs if you plan on playing 2 (or more) players (like Gauntlet/Gauntlet 2, for example)
