The working coin switch seems to only have ever had 2 blades - see 1st pic - although the front insulating blocks seem a bit blackened???
The non working one (2nd pic) only has one blade left BUT in the 3rd pic there are 4 wires spare. One of these (yellow-red) i am pretty sure connects to non connected terminal of the the relay on the side of the coin shute (this may be the whole problem - but would like to confirm this is where it goes).
Then there are two wires that have been taped up (3rd pic again). It is logical that these two would have been the ones snipped off the coin switch - if this is the case, then the non working side would have had 3 blades, compared to the two blade switch on the good side. I'm unsure if this non working side is the source of the problem yet, as why would someone disconnect one side, block that coin slot off on the front of the machine and then find it doesn't work, then throw it out, ....(by the way - the machine was picked up from the rubbish dump recycling shop) - but, humans are strange creatures!
There is a 4th wire in the 3rd pic (white,blue - blurred in the RHS of pic) that i can't work out where it would logically goes - it has been bent up and is not taped up....
The 5 spare wires in the 4th pic also have me a bit stumped as i'm unsure if they go to the working side (where they are hanging in front of) or the non-working side.
Is there meant to be a relay on each shute or just one for both shutes? (like in 3rd pic)?
