Oh, it's worse than I realised, then. Whoever fitted that door seems to have used a 'Credit Control Board' as well, going by reply No. 30. The circuit board attached to the Mars acceptor. It would've been holding the pricing scheme, and simply switching one of the machines' coin inputs on a 1 'coin', 1 play basis. Similar to an old VCR placed between the telly aerial and the Tv itself, sending any channel from its own tuner to one input channel of the Tv.

Credit boards were useful for System 11 games, with only three coin switches; I installed them on a couple of Riverboat Gamblers, to allow the factory fitted C220/Eca door to accept the four different u.k. coins used at the time (they were shipped not accepting, or even programmed for 20 pence coins). But it wasn't really necessary for a Wpc game.

Located the right wires for a new coin door switch. No stress there. White/red and green/red.

As you correctly said @Jay Walker , the original door will have had a switch clipped into the frame.
