not sure i understand the question? coin mechs are never necessary to start a game...

is the coin door wiring harness there (do you have it)?

you are gonna need to track down a wiring harness eventually, it is kinda needed...

in order to do what you want, you'll need a schematic... you'll need to jump at least one of the connections on the jones plug receptacle, as well as wiring in a temp start switch...

Manually activate the Start relay that is on the bottom board. Just press it in so the switches close. This should start the reset sequence. Do you have the manual? - it goes through the steps of the reset sequence.

Without the coin door harness present, the 'bounce switch' that would normally be on the door (and closed) will appear as open, so the start relay won't get any power (nor will the rest of the 25V circuit).

This will be shown along the bottom right side of the schematic, along with the color wires on either side of that switch. Those are what need to be jumpered closed.

But before powering up a game that's incomplete and of unknown condition, I'd really suggest getting comfortable with the schematic and understanding how to review the state of the game first (not to discourage you, but keeping safety in mind).

I have 2 or 3 extra door harnesses. how many pins is the jones plug? I can sell you one for $15

yep drop me an email to khead at gmail dot com. I'll check my my stash

You'll actually have 110volt line voltage for the start switch...and then 30 volts for the slam switch. You need the cir diagram

i believe only 25v to both... no 110v to the door on that vintage machine, unless this one is different from others?

there may be 110v to the start relay though (i don't have the schematic in front of me, i'm not sure what the reset requirements are)... easy enough to tell by looking at the line voltage leg of the transformer on the schematic...

read and follow the schematic... i'll be blunt, since we danced around this a couple times already... before you go and try to jury rig this up, you need to understand exactly what it is you are doing and why you are doing it... if others have to tell you what to do (i.e. you can't figure it out by reading the schematic), you probably should not be trying it...

sorry for the bluntness... but i don't want to see you electrocute yourself... something like this is potentially more hazardous than simply troubleshooting a problem...

your best bet if you cannot read your schematic is to wait until you get a wiring harness... actually, your best bet is to wait until you get the harness and get the machine back together... i see you are making progress towards the "putting together" part that in your other thread...

20140325_210114.jpgHere's a 6 pin harness I have. start switch, slam switch and I can add a coin switch.

Now that is the best way to fix your problem, new door!!!!!!!!!!!!

new used door. or an alligator clip on the right sockets.
