the validator has a harness that plugs into it, then that plugs into the plug in the pinball machine. Sounds like you are missing the validator harness.

the harness i linked to above will work for your validator although you might beable to find it cheaper then that. Im guessing it didnt come up earlier cause when you buy a validator new it comes with it, but if buying used they can be missing sometimes.
Every machine you plan to put a validator into will need the validator harness and validator. If you plan to just move the validator from one machine to the next as your rotate the pin out you will only need one harness (just move it with the validator)
Quoted from ATLpb:Ok so on Spike you use the supplied black two prong cable. Connect to exposed two prong at front left of cabinet, run thru cabinet, and into power in the head, and then you also need a Wily adapter, which plugs into loose 9 pin (3x3 shape, square bordered) that’s exposed on the coin door and then plugs into keyed end of the DBA itself?
Am I warm?
On SAM, you skip the two prong part and only use the 9 pin 3x3 square to connect using a Wily adapter ?
Warm still? Or Brain dead, why is this guy even into pinball?
everything here is correct. They make different harness for the validators that make them do different things. for what you are needing to do you only need the small ended harness not the one that connects to all of the pins. some pins are left exposed. Ill take a pic of one when i get home from work, i think i have about 10 dba's laying around with harnesses attached to them.
Quoted from ATLpb:Ok here is the one Wily linked yesterday, it’s labeled 24v but looks identical to the one Ken just linked?
Yestersay’s, which I ordered already:
ebay.com link
thats my bad, i didnt see it was labeled 24v, you need 110v harness, they are different.
