I removed it from the backboard. I had to unsolder some wires (which is a pain) that go to the coils. There is no big plug unlike other motors units that i have removed before.
Dismantled and cleaned the coils which are now doing their thing. I notice now that when the credit is on 0, the contacts are not quite open, i am quessing as you said above should be. Also, when I press the start button, it starts. however when I put coins in, the credit stays on 0.
Then I manually activated the coil to give 4 credits ( I now understand that the other set of contacts allows a maximum number of credits, in my case,5), now when I put a coin in, the credits decrease, this seems strange to me.
What was the normal thing people did to make these EM machines freeplay? All the wires are connected to the coils. The only one that was cut was to the coin eject coil on the coin door
