Can someone please explain what is involved in installing a kick harness into a blast or astro city cabinet?
As far as I can tell, the extra six buttons go to the oblong plug under the control panel.
Here is where I'm lost. I read that something needs to go to the pcb on the cash box. Do I need another harness for this?
Reason I am asking is I can have a generic CP installed before my cab ships OR I can buy one later and install it myself (provided I know how to).

New Astro City shown below. Connectors are left to right: speaker, P1 harness, P2 harness, kick harness, ground. I had to buy the harness that goes from buttons 4, 5, 6 to the control panel connector. I believe they come from the factory with the connector and wires that go from the connection panel to the bottom of the cabinet. The wires terminate in a 10 pin Japanese style plug.

Blast City shown below. Connectors are left to right: kick harness, P1 harness, P2 harness, ground. I hadn't bought the extra control panel harness at the time I took the picture, so it's not plugged in. On the Blast City, they were factory wired with the wires that go from the connection panel down to the I/O board that's attached to the coin box. From there it terminates in a row of 8 pins.

Hope that helps some.
