Need help with a hopper error

[PVG]

Calling all experts!
I just purchased a Space Wing pachislo for $20 (score!). It worked fine until I decided to experiment a bit.
I was trying to figure a way to get the credit counter up to 50 without putting in 50 tokens, so i disconnected this plug

and thought by shorting out the two pins
slot 2.jpg
it would advance the counter. I was planning on rigging a switch. As soon as I shorted the pins I got an HC hopper error.
I've tried to reset it several times with no success. After a reset, it spits out one token and goes back into error mode.
I know it's not the hopper itself, I tried another one. if I unplug the hopper, I can do a reset and the machine will play fine
until I hit a payout...then there's no hopper to pay anything out. I do not have the door key so I can't reset it that way.

Any ideas? Am I screwed?

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

What do the red&black wires normally connect to? Might be able to figure out what is on the other side of that connector that might be blown if we know that.

It's appears you have managed to "short out" the photo sensors in the hopper.

There are two sensors under the hopper that count the tokens that are dispensed. (See the picture below).
A spring loaded metal bar/plate goes back and forth between the two, (goal post shaped), photo sensors. Counting the tokens that are awarded. If the sensors are bad, the hopper will dispense one token then stop, because the sensor did not count the hopper dispensing it. Thus, putting the machine in an "HC" error.

Finding the exact individual electronic part, that has the same connector and mounting feature, is going to be really hard to find one.
If you post some pictures of the hopper and the sensors. Showing with what ever, if any, information that is printed on them. Maybe a member would have some. Or you may have to find the whole hopper. Most sell the whole hopper. Taking the sensors out, to sell, leaves the seller with a useless hopper otherwise.

The pins in the photo look like they are for electromagnetic solenoid on the coin selector.
I don't think shorting them would do anything.

The normal solution for a HC code on a machine made by Sammy would be to:
Turn the token collection/recovery switch (回収, kaishū) off.
Then push the reset button (リセット, risetto) to cancel the error code.

I tried another hopper and still get the error so i know it's not a problem with the hopper. I think I shorted out something within the power unit that the hopper plugs into.

The wires connect to the solenoid that (I believe) controls whether the coins spit out or build credits when you hit a payout combination, but the pins that I shorted are on the circuit board and I assume go to the hopper.
