Title: Help identify parts
Post by: Haterot on June 13, 2009, 10:28:44 pm

I ordered a coin door from Ebay ($20 bucks can you believe it!!!!!)

Can someone help me identify what this switch is for. It looks like it would be a system reset.

Also There seems to be a counter on the bottom of the coin bucket. Anyone know how to reset the counter?

And last is this a standard jamma connection? I've never worked with one before so no idea and if so where can i find specs for what the wires are?

You have a Coin Controls (all metric hardware) brand coin door.

The Atari pushbutton switch bolted to the top of the coin box metal enclosure was probably added by some operator to be used as a "service" (free) credit button.

Your coin counting meter is 12 volts DC and not a resetable model.

Jamma standard wiring is at the gameboard edge connector. The connector you show is wired to whatever cabinet it came from and not JAMMA.

Thank you for the help guys.
do you think it's possible that I can wire that Atari pushbutton to the Motherboard as a reset switch (just in case)

I could get a molex connector but since it's a mame cab nothing to really connect it to. I will have to figure the wiring out and find out what voltage the light bulbs require

Just replace the bulbs with RS ones if you can't figure it out.  My Atari coin reject lights were 12v as I recall, but they were burned out.  I replaced them with 5v ones and hooked them up to the PC power supply.
