Simple solenoid circuit

Hello, was looking for some insight.

Im restoring an old Standard Metal Typer. The solenoid coin circuit was missing, so I am working on reconnecting it. Basically, drop a coin, closes the microswitch, and momentarily charges the solenoid briefly lift the tab to release the bar lock. The parts are:

Power Supply: 12cDC, 1.75amp
Standard coin microswitch
Solenoid: 21-280, with + and - poles.
Adding in a could 1amp fuses to the circuit as well.

Below is the basic circuit that I thought it should be - am I on the right track?

Titchgamer:
Looks fine to me but take the fuse out of the -.
Should only be fuses in the + really.

dylaninwv:
 Cool, thanks. I only have a two bay fuse block lying around, which is why I was going to fuse both lines.

Should I bother with a diode or not?

Titchgamer:
Dont see why you should need a diode really.

dylaninwv:
Thanks Titchgamer.  :) :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :cheers:
