Taiyo Electron golf themed challenge ball update

Progress is going slowly on straightening out the wiring. Cut wires!!!and no idea where they are supposed to go! So far, I have been able to get the payout light to work, wired a micro switch to activate the solenoid to release the balls into play and get the little motorized thingy that controls the number of coins for a payout to spin. Still not able to figure out how to get the lights on the cell to light when a ball enters a pocket. Bulbs test ok and everything shows continuity. Decided to take a break on the electrics and tackle the missing coin chute. The cardboard mock up worked so well, I used it as a template to make one out of sheet metal. So far the coins are sliding down the chute and falling into the coin tube consistently. I have to hook up the micro switch to the new chute. Now if I could figure out how to wire the button switch (it was missing too and had to buy one) to make the coin hopper soleniod fire and spit out a coin for the bonuses. Attached are pics of the machine with and without the new coin chute along with some of the steps along the way in making it.

I think the two other members I mentioned in another thread about this machine are the only ones with similar models. I can't be sure since not all members have pics of their machines in the arrangeball forum.
I hate clipped wires, I've dealt with it before as it seems parlor owners were fond of altering machines to eliminate some features. I sure wish I could help you but I gave my similar challenge ball away. PM ACmech and see if he'll take some photos for ya.
