I ordered switches for my coin door because it was missing them. I must be retarded or something because I see no way to mount these damn things. I ordered the ones from happs with the bendable wire. There is screw holes for switches to mount to but if I mount them there the switch won't fire because it's made to go up and it needs to go down. Any help with finding the correct part or where I'm going wrong would be much appreciated.

I'll work on getting some pictures. The coin mech's are made by coin mech inc. Thanks for the one diagram but my switch's mount in a little different location. My door is a little older and that may be why. I'll try to get some pics tonight to show what i'm talking about.

looks like you might be holding the camera too close. Digital cameras, especially older ones need to be more than a few feet away from the object, they also need allot of light, but looks like you have plenty.
