I have a claw machine that needs a coin acceptor. So I bought one from ebay made by a Chinese company named LK. The new coin acceptor is an LK-100W. I just need to know the wiring designations coming from the machine because the new coin acceptor has the wires labeled I just don't know how to splice and connect them. Please let me know what the red, blue, green, orange and black wires are. So far I can tell that green is ground and red is power I'm guessing blue and black are the counter wires and orange the coin signal, but I don't want to mess up machine and I want to be sure. Please see pictures.
Thank you.

the coin acceptor you have there is very common and should wire right up to the machine without much issues.
if I where to take a stab at it, based on your pictures...
ground is black
coin line is blue
red is power (but you will have to measure the voltage. you need 12 volts for the mechanism. if it's only 5 or more than 12 you will need to run a new wire for power.)
orange will not be used here.
wire up your coin mech and set the option switch for the N.O./N.C. in the "N.O." position. you should also set the pulse speed for "slow" for best results and no missed coins.
so red to red, black to black, and white to blue. Ignore the gray wires.
