GAKU WIN Sensor replacement with a debounced microswitch

[CarlW]

Have a GAKU counter on a vintage machine and a desire to use a microswitch instead of the supplied WIN Sensor?

Here is a way to debounce a SPECIFIC microswitch using the supplied connector and an additional resistor, capacitor and switch.

If a different model switch is used; try a different size resistor and capacitor if results are not consistent.

Every time the switch is pressed, the GAKU counter reads 1 WIN.
