Alright, I've got two Nintendo coin doors here and I need to know about the "brown and orange" coin wires - the ones that connect to the actuator microswitches.

A picture of it wired correctly is here (look for the hidden bonus spider!):

Neither of the ones in front of me are "factory," however. On one, the wires were cut/hacked such that the circuit terminates at the quick disconnects on the first coin mech.

On the other, the wiring continues to the second mech, but it's been hacked/improvised by someone (the browns are simply wrapped through the hole on the switch terminal, and I'm not sure how the orange continued - it flopped out when I removed the disconnect from the switch, so maybe the wire was just shoved in there under the insulator).

What I want to know is how the brown and orange continue to the second actuator switch (how they branch from the first set of disconnects) on factory-correct wiring.

Can somebody snap a pic, or describe how it works?

Bump.

Still curious about this.

I'm thinking, for both orange and brown, the wire is cut, two extensions are made that have the QD at one end (for each of the switch terminals), and each extension joins the "main" wire in a crimp cap?

They are paralleled. The wires come from the boardset into the first set of .187 terminals along with a second set of wires that crimp together, then onto the second mech. - Barry
