Ok, finally got Stargate working thanks to Ken. I realized I'm missing the harness that attaches to the coin mechs. What is this harness called so I'll know when I decided to buy? I'll be interested in 2 of them.

Man, somebody really hacked that coin door.
I have bought that exact switch setup for another cabinet.
All of the switches are momentary.

Broodwich, that looks like an Atari coin door hacked in to work in a Williams cab. You can see they bypassed the original wiring and hacked lines directly to the coin door switches.
When you go to rebuild it, you will basically need to strip all of the old wiring out and start from scratch.
I've had two Williams cabs come in with Atari doors like that and one with an old Midway door out of a PacMan or Galaga that was hacked in. It is possible to rebuild these back to full Williams coin doors. It just takes some time and patience.

is the upper white/yellowed harness williams or atari? the front (of the door) looks correct but the test button has me all confused.
the lower harness from the switches is to a konami harness, the cab was converted to yie ar kung fu. when they did this they added the counters and cardboard mod i believe but definitely correct me if i'm wrong. i know little about older machines i'm popping my cherry with this one
I was planning on replacing the entire harness pretty much anyways, and replacing the door (if you look under p2 mech you can see it's coming apart and rusted/pried apart ect).
The white harness is Atari. The test button on Ataris is a click on/off in one direction and momentary contact in the other (don't remember if up is click or down is click). On some, but not all Ataris there were 2 coin counters also. So it looks like the operator cut the Atari wiring harness at the spiral plastic thingy and then just wired in the pieces he needed (the coin switches and coin counters).
Actually looking at it, it looks like only the coin switches were wired in. I don't see anything going to the coin counters. It looks like they still have the small connectors and are wired into the Atari harness.
