It's the weekend.  It's slower now because everyone is off building.

Please don't bump until it's off the front page.  It's only been seven hours.

Patience, young paduan ...

Where do those wires go ? What game is plugged in to the harness ?

Wire colours are not always (indeed, when there is question, most often are not) indicative of anything.

I would expect one of the wires to be a positive voltage for power, one to be a ground return for power, one to be a common ground and one to be a coin up switch.

Perhaps one of our UK friends can shed more light (WTF would somebody use a different 56-pin standard from JAMMA ?), but tracking the four wires back to their sources (presumably on a 56-pin harness) should reveal the answers that you are looking for.
