Hey I am back working on my Meteor, trying to figure out the knocker not working, again.

So I am going down the wiring diagram and it looked like the coin door solenoid was before the knocker, so I replaced it, and now that solenoid works, but sticks closed because I am not sure where the little spring goes that opens it back up, or even if I put it back together right. I put it back together the way it came out but it might have been mess with before so I don't know for sure.

If anyone can show me a picture of a working door so i can see if this is put together right I would appreciate it. Oh after doing all this, knocker still does not work, which bugs the crap outta me, but I will figure it out.

Thanks for the diagram. I think I got the spring back on right, see picture, however it does not pull the metal piece back to open the switch so when I do a switch test off the coin door button it comes up as a closed switch. If I manually open it it's good, if that make sense. So maybe I am not understanding something on how this thing is supposed to work.

The solenoid pulls. I can see it pull that flat metal plate thing up against it, (top picture) but then it stays up against the solenoid.

So when I push the test button, switch assignment #30 somes up which is the coin chute #1 as a stuck switch. If I push that metal plate away from the solenoid I get 0 displayed in the match/ball and all is well.

So somehow that metal plate has to get pulled back somehow, I guess. That's the problem

I guess that is why I would like to see an actual coin door from a Meteor or other game that uses the same door and mechanism so I can see what is is I am missing if anything.

Ok I understand. I guess without having all the coin mechanisms in the door I won't be able to see how it all works, which is ok.

Thanks for your help
