found this toggle on a S+  - has something to do with the coin comparitor - dollar comparitor - the toggle is mounted on the inner light panel - 2 wires - one goes to the comparitor harness pin 2 (black wire) and the other goes to the pin 7 on the harness (orange/purples?).  sorry about the pics - any idea what this is for?

I've actually seen a toggle switch connected with the coin comparitor.  Not exactly sure why the Casino  put them on.... The ones I ran into just turned the coin mech ON or OFF  while the door was closed  and  "in play"  mode.

Looks like something added after the machine left the factory.  Perhaps some casinos found it easier to disable S+ machines by simply flipping a switch to disable the CC rather than paging through the menus to get to the Out Of Service page.

Sounds like the toggle is opening the grounded circuit?
That would effectively disable the coin mech but wouldn't that cause a [21] error code?

If it's only cutting power to the coin comparator, it shouldn't create an error -- the machine doesn't know if there's a comparator there, just coin-in optics.

You're right knagl!
I just disconnected a coin comparator on Frankenstein (my test rig)
and the MPU didn't shoot out any errors.
However, the second I disconnected the coin-in optics, the MPU threw out an error code [21] -
even with the coin comparator still hooked up.
