Hello all. I did a newbie thing and rushed to replace old coin door with a new coin door.

Game/Machine: Smart Clean Sweep Crane/Claw. Was told 5th Generation. My board doesn't have any gen listed on it.

Problem/Issue: I replaced the old coin door with another new same size with new door, that has two coin slots and two new coin mechs (suzzo-happy). I mistakenly didn't take a photo of where the total of 4 wires, 2 on each coin mech were connected. In my defense, I would have had to lay down and look up to take the photo. And my back was hurting that day. So the old coin door had 2 wires each, that connected to 2 of the three fins that register a quarter being deposited.
The two coin mechs, claw machine has 2 wires each, that are daisy-chained for a total of 4 wires.

On each coin mech there are 3 total male terminals, that accept the two female terminals coming from the machine. I've searched and searched online, I even watched any and all old videos trying to get a glimpse of how they are connected and I have no luck. Also, when you look at the photos included, you will see that two of the wires are very short to be plugged into each coin mech. I will be re-wiring, I already purchased the new wires and new connectors for those.

PS: I looked in a few manuals as well and couldn't locate this information anywhere.

Here are some photos for reference, so you are on the same page as I am, if you need it.

Thank you so much to whomever can help me!!!

If in wrong section, please feel free to move it. I think this is the correct section to post this question in.
 
consult my visual aids. looks like black wires are your grounds (connect to COM/ground), white-black are the coin switch wires (connect to NO)

I forget what your old switches were called, they were made by an English company I think. their NO/NC terminals are backwards from all the other makes, in addition to the mounting holes being on the opposite sides

Ok cool, I think I understand. So the normally open yellow you have on the photo I should not connect anything to those terminals? So connect the wires to the ground and do not connect to the middle terminals and connect to the farthest terminal away from the black/ground location? If so thank you. I will try wiring up that way and report back!

Also found this after your posting this morning, so like this? (Sorry, don't want to break and fuses connecting it incorrectly)
