Oooh, I'm changing my vote.  Chrome switch, not an add-on... that sounds very likely.  I just wasn't thinking pinball the first time around.

It'll make a darn nice credit switch on a MAME cab, though.  Why hasn't anybody ever though of pinball doors before when the credit switch question comes up?

It's a start switch. Commonly seen on these doors with a red button with the word START engraved in white on it. Not sure which game would have the chrome button. Very common on Space Invaders with a metal plug instead of a switch. If you want to get rid of the switch, I'd be happy to trade you a plug for it :)

Here's a pic of one with a plug. http://cgi.ebay.com/Bally-Midway-Video-Game-Coin-Door_W0QQitemZ6257711183QQcategoryZ13718QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    What the heck is it for?

Anything you dont push it three times..  My X did and I have not seen her since.  Could be a new weapon for the Army.  Be afraid, be very afraid!!!!

Witchboard:
AHA!  It's a coin door for a 280-ZZZAP.  It's the start button.  ;D  One's on eBay here.

Thargok:
All of the old coin doors have them, although a majority don't have the button but rather a bolted on cover.  I however put two USB ports in this hole, which is nice most of the time.
