I'm having a shitty time right now with a Skeeball - supposedly Model H, but the plate on the computer says "Mod No: L110" - so who knows.
Anyway - I'm trying to connect a Mars Series 2000 AE2411 DBV to it, as I've often done to Model S machines. The 2411 has two wires that connect to it - Credit Relay (Common) and Credit Relay (Normally Open) - for the credit pulse. I'd normally just connect these to the coin switch wiring and be done.
However - it's not being that easy. The two wires I've found for the credit switch appear to be Normally Closed and register when they go open. I touch the two wires together and nothing. Separate them and it triggers a game start.
Of course, when I try to connect the coin switch wires to the DBV, no game starts when I put in a dollar. I tested the dbv on a pinball so I know it works when connected to a normally open circuit that triggers when closed, but how the hell am I going to get it to work when connected to a normally closed circuit that triggers when opened?
I'm pretty frazzled right now. Been out all day in 100+ degree heat...
