if i remember correctly that is what turns the time circuits on.  Just make sure you have enough plutonium for the return trip.   :dunno  Does it look like it is aftermarket or added on?

Have you looked inside the cabinet to see what it's connected to?

It's a nipple.  It's how the cab feeds baby cabs before they are ready to forage for quarters on their own.

love the responses  :lol
i took off the glass and found that its just a piece of plastic.. nothing is connected to it. I wonder why someone would drill a hole in the bezel to add this red plastic thing. maybe it was part of some arcade's security systems.
