I cannot answer that question I will go out to the shop in the morning and open up the schematic for the 8:47 if you go up and look in the file system you can download the schematic and see what the chatter switch does I will look for it on the schematic

Hello,



This is highly speculative on my part as I've never dealt with one of these switches. I imagine these are normally closed switches that open, causing the machine to stop operating. If this were the case, bypassing the device would be as simple as connecting the wires in and out together. Like I said highly speculative on my part. Photos would help



Thank you

Thanks for the help guys.
I have attached 3 pictures of the Anti-Cheat Device.
    I also have another question. on my "Odds Unit" the lower solenoid froze up after overheating and melted the plunger into the coil.I have a new coil ordered but after breaking the plunger out, I see no spring in it.Can I use that same plunger? and is there a spring that I am missing somewhere?

Okay, found this posted on the NEW LIFE GAMES site titled, Bally 847 Continental restoration dated August 20, 2013, page 5. Person had same problem with anti cheat switch and a solution was posted. Check it out, might be exactly what you can do to bypass coil. You might wait for a second opinion from someone who actually preform this bypass just to be safe.
