    looks like that blue thing is a solenoid coil, but I don't see any wires to it. does it have a linkage to something that it closes or opens?

    I restored a machine very much like that one last year and it had the same relay in that exact location.

    Unfortunately I didn't take close-up photos of the ball launch mechanism when I had it all apart, so I cannot say for absolute sure, but I seem to recall thinking the relay was used to stop machine play when the jackpot hopper was empty. Some machines have mechanical linkage to do the same thing, but the Kyroku (I think) used an electric relay to stop play. If my memory serves and this is the case, then the wiring would need to connect somehow to the Jackpot hopper empty switch.

    Hope that helps!

    The picture on the left looks like a solenoid coil / Relay, that actuates the white armature attached to it. I would also guess that one set of poles are for lamp illumination (approx 9v) and the others are for the actuator, perhaps at a higher voltage alternating current (24v or possibly household).

    There are quite a few very friendly and helpful people on this forum with lots of knowledge - I'm sure one of the more experienced collectors knows exactly what that is and how it works.

    Please keep in mind that is a guess based on a picture, and should in no way imply you should attach power until you verify the circuits intended function, purpose and rating / capacity and test to make sure it is functional.

    - Shock (Ironic)

    I figured I'd post the response here due to the question moving to it's own thread - I'm sure someone will have experience with that electromechanical mechanism.

    can you post a good picture of the whole back of the machine?

    is there any chance that this machine was a coin-op at one point? solenoids were used to turn off the shooter mechanism in those.

    I can't quite tell where the coil is in relationship to the rest of the linkages.

    Might be a transformer, since there is no mechanical linkage that I can see in these photos.
