i picked up a Cherry 96 video poker machine machine works fine but has no keys for upper and lower doors. before i drill the locks out i want to make sure i wont damage anything inside machine, if any one can let me know also what size drill bit works best? Also i wanted to put a free play button so i dont have to use quarters is this easy could some explain? im hoping there is a manual inside if not anyone know where i can get one? if so thanks

Start with the top lock first, because there may be an opening below the bill acceptor you can reach through and just unscrew the tab off the bottom lock. You may just be able to jam a screwdriver into the key slot and twist the lock open instead of drilling it out. Failing that, use a quarter inch bit and drill away. There should be nothing behind the lock that might be damaged. Freeplay is just a matter of connecting a button between the connections on one of the coin switches. And google cherry master manuals, there are some good free ones online. http://www.j-h-amusement.com/secure/uploads/file/Cherry 96.pdf

Don't wire the credit button to the coin input, you'll end up getting coin jam errors. Instead, wire it to the KEY INPUT pin. That is what that is for, to my in credits directly. On many boards, you can ed in set the key in value separate from other coin in value. This us how I have mine set up for home use.
 
Doughbroz thanks for the info. i did exactly what you said with the screwdriver turned perfect and was able to get access to both doors. and found $37 to boot lol.... thanks again

Raven thanks for the info i dont have a manual yet im going to download the one Doughbroz suggested how do i located the key input pin thanks
 
Here's the pinout:

You want to wire the credit button to 18 on the solder side of the harness. It may be populated already. If not, just add it into the harness.
