Presumably, that coindoor (as it's already connected to a PC) accepts only one type of coin? AND those two yellow wires are where it's connected to the PC?
Almost every coin door requires 12v for power, and connecting the unit to an encoder requires a maximum of 5v (or you'll fry your expensive iPAC (or whatever the PC is using).
I think your best option is to measure the total size of your coindoor and if the size is the same, swap it for a new door and mech from Ultimarc (http://www.ultimarc.com/JShopServer/section.php?xSec=9) or Gremlin (http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/produ ... bundle.htm) and connect these up to the encoder.

And there's a short vid of the game room setup. I've got a few more cabs that aren't dedicated as well, but they're just fun to have.

Your cab looks to be in really nice condition matey.

Do you just own the multi cart for it or have you got any other games?
