Hi tonup69
does Your Aloha pin have an K-Coin-Chute-Relay - and it is faulty pulling because the coin-chute-switch on the coin-door is stuck - faulty always closed --- You disconnect the coin-door-jones-plug and the K-Relay stops faulty pulling ?
I do not have the schematics "Aloha" - but "Fashion Show" is only six month younger than "Aloha" - see the switches (in the JPG) that make the motor to run. Please show the snippet of schematics (switches that make the motor to run) from Your pin --- and we do guessing ... Greetings Rolf

Hi tonup69
thanks for the JPG - Yes, looks much the same --- back to Your last sentence in post-5 "I noticed I can ..." and my (kind of) question in post-6 "the K-Relay" - look up in the list of relays in Your schematics the full name of the K-Relay - look in the pin (probably down in the cabinet) - watch the K-Relay with door-wiring plugged-in and watch the K-Relay with door-wiring non-plugged - any difference ? Greetings Rolf
