I am replacing a missing interlock switch on the back of my Elevator Action and can't remember what wires go where. There should be 4 wires, I assume 2 colors (I am not near the machine). What wires go to which tabs? I know there are 6 tabs and 4 wires, so 2 tabs get skipped. Please help me, thank you.
 
The interlock switches are normally DPDT so you need to figure out which two are "live AC" (coming from the power brick). These go to the Normally Open tabs on the interlock (sometimes labelled N.O.). The return (non-powered) wires go to the common (sometimes labelled COM).

If you hook them up the other way around ("hot" to common) can give you a nasty shock if you grab the Normally Closed tabs. So putting the "hot" lines on the Normally Open tabs makes sure the NC tabs are never powered.

Here's a pic where you can see the one in my Operation Wolf. If I was near the game I'd get a shot of the switch lugs, but it's at a warehouse. Hope this helps.
