Hello all,
Hoping someone can let me know what each of the wires on Coin & Note collector cable are?
As can not find information addams family manual.
Looking for voltage & ground wires. But know one of these lines is data/signal. Would use multimeter but concerned about damage or blowing a fuse.

Hello, Martin,

Do these look like original wiring rather than something added at some point since? If they're original, they may in fact be unused wiring for flipper switches; Addams and Getaway, as Williams' first two games with solid-state flipper control, had redundant wiring and connectors in the cabinet/backbox, possibly for use if anyone decided (or was forced) to revert to 'conventional' high-current switching flippers, requiring the previous generation tungsten-contact switches to be fitted in the cabinet. Are those wire colours to be found in the back box, at connectors for the driver board, just above the flipper relay?

Looking at the manual for non-Fliptronic game T2, those colours are listed for 'Flipper Circuits' in the section at the back, Interboard Wiring.

My TAF have the same wires and I've always assumed they were for the flippers.
The coin mech ones are brown from what I can tell.
 
Yes original wiring and going in direction of backbox. Will look at T2 manual and again at TAF manual in hope of making sure of what pins do.
Looking for 12v,5v or 6v with ground for new colour DMD. On my WPT this is drawn from Note collector (Powered direct from PSU not backbox), so was looking to do same.
Seem I need to find brown wires or trace TAF psu and see if has any spare power leads. TAF manual not very helpful in this regard.
 
From what I recall, the Black-trace and Blue-trace wires would've been coming from the return side of the flipper coils themselves, with the Orange-trace wires as the ground return via the flipper relay. So as they stand probably not much help for powering a colour display.
