Tying a JAMMA Harness to Original Midway Coin Door Wiring

I wanted to keep the original Midway wire harness on my Pacman coin door, then just use a mating molex plug and plug my Jamma harness outputs directly up to the original molex. The problem I am having is that beyond the service switch, coin 1 switch, 1 ground wire and the 12v line for the coin lights, I am lost.

-The coin counter has 2 inputs. Are they supposed to be counter 1 and ground, counter 1 and 12v, or counter 1 and counter 2?

-The Test switch is the Midway slider/toggle type and has 3 terminals. Besides Test and ground, what else ties in to the 3rd terminal?

-Does Midway just tie both coin switches together, or is there a coin 1 and coin 2? If tied together, I assume just using the coin 1 output would suffice?

-I assume the slam switch would use tilt and a ground?

-Do you need to use ground loops in the connector? How many grounds did Midway originally have running to their coin doors? It seems if you run just one ground wire, you'd need to loop or daisy chain it within the connector at least 4 times to cover all the pins in the coin door connector that need a ground, right?

Thanks for your time.
 
Anyone know? Is this common information? Is it available in the manual? Has this never been attempted before?
 
I am going to be doing the same on my Galaxian cabinet. If I have some time tonight to in the AM I will take a look at mine and let you know.

BTW continuity test mode on your meter should tell you everything you need to know.
 
Obviously this thread is 3 years old, and I really couldn't give a flying fuck any more, but what if I told you I own 2 DMMs, and neither has continuity mode? Then what?

you obviously dont know how to use a meter. you can check continuity with the ohm setting :)

C'mon, flying ones used to be your favorite! I'll never forget the "WWF" parties at Fritz's... you'd jump off the back of that couch thrusting towards anyone that was accepting. What was the saying that you used to scream before jumping?
