Page 4: Requirements
2. Requirements A. The Pinnovators CG-MAC for Chicago Gaming systems requires a Universal Validator Door slot on the machine’s coin door. Chicago Gaming used two types of coin doors. The “A”, “B”, “C” type and the “H” door. If your door does not have the DBA plate BUT you have TWO coin reject buttons, you can still get the MAC feature using the Pinnovators MECH-MAC kit. -
Page 5: Mac-Control Board Installation
4. Mac-Control Board Installation There are two similar looking MAC controller boards so make sure you have the one with the single large capacitor loaded and the two 13 pin male connectors loaded as shown below. The other version has two large caps loaded and is for Williams/Bally legacy games. Locate the coin door cable as shown below. - Page 6 Plug the top cable into the outer connector as shown. This connector is not keyed so be extremely careful not to misalign it as you insert it! Plug the lower coin door cable into the remaining connector header on the MAC-controller.
- Page 7 The screw will not penetrate the outside of the cabinet. Make sure you use the proper screwdriver, so it grips the screw well. Pinnovators will repair your board for free if you slip and damage any components. Insert the two remaining screws in the other standoffs and fasten them.

Remove the white wire with the brown stripe from the switch. - Page 9 Route the MAC-controller front door switch cable through the cable clamp as shown and then connect as follows: White push-on terminal to the original terminal on the interlock switch. Red male terminal to the red female terminal that used to be on the interlock switch. Close up view.

7. Mech-MAC Switch Installation We will use pictures from Terminator 2 for this section. The install is the same for a Chicago Gaming system. Overview: The coin door needs to have two coin chutes with two coin mechanisms installed in order for this kit to be installed. - Page 12 Mount the “up” switch assembly on the right coin mechanism. Route the wire from the MAC-controller to the “down” switch assembly as shown. Route the cable to the “up” switch assembly across the top of the right coin mech.
