Hi Guys,

Had a friend drop off an OG Nintendo Space Fever table top cabinet to me today.
It fires up and looks likes its working fine.
Problem is credits do not want to work so I cannot start the game.
The machine was hacked to have a credit button put into it but when the credits stopped working the person who put the button in cut the wires to the button and removed the cable.
There is one connector on the board that doesn't have anything attached. it is labeled coin so i suspected this was the coin button terminal
It has 3 pins. I checked this out and found that pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is not connected to anything and pin three goes to a resistor then off into the board.
I soldered a switch to pin one and three but I could not get credits put in.
Anyone offer any advice on this one?
There is a large pin i found on the board labeled COIN TP so I suspect this is a test point. Not sure what I need to do to actually test this.
What you all think it may be?
