As I have my (Bally, Gottlieb, Williams) EMs in no-coin mode (i.e., the credit button works if there is "0" showing on the credit wheel, by simply making the switch that is supposed to be open when at "0" be closed all the time), I am wondering if I could simply remove all the relays dealing with the coins, thereby being able to cannibalize the parts off of these (i.e., coils, switches) to use elsewhere. It seems that all I would need to do is to make the default open just be cut away and make the default closed just be tied.
For example, looking at Jack In The Box:
The X (2 PLAY) relay is only actuated (besides a hold by itself) if the "1 COIN 2 PLAYS" pin is set.
The W (3RD CHUTE) relay is only actuated (besides a hold by itself) by a default OFF switch of X.
The Y (2 COINS) relay is only actuated (besides a hold by itself) if the "2 COINS 1 PLAY" pin is set.
It seems that by doing this, I avoid a whole lot of issues of the switches of these relays having to be ON as per default ON.
Is this a good idea?
