Ron you are so right . I want to apologize for trying to jump ahead and I don't want to waste anybody's time and I do appreciate your help so much . I've slowed down and have done more looking around for clues and a lot of reading the manual. And you are right about the latch solenoid they had cut it but they did a good job of hiding it. They had taped the red wires and looped them down like they where hooked up behind the metal shield. That's one thing done. So I did what you said and looked in the APU. Done a inspection and from what I can tell the only thing I can find missing is the subtract pawl. But I remembered the man I bought it from gave me the bag of keys and it was in there. It had tape around it olding a small spring to it. But the manual don't show a spring hooked to it. So I tried it both ways without the spring it wouldn't subtract just slide on the subtract pawl stop and would hit the credit wheel but wouldn't move it. So I saw the hole on the pawl so I hooked the spring in it and found the nearest place to hook it and it was on the detent lever I have added a picture and it will now subtract but I put three quarters in and made a selection and it takes off all the credits? Not sure if the spring is right. Like I said the manual don't show it. I'm going to test the power supply tomorrow. Like I said thank you so much. Terry

Hi Terry,
I believe the sub pawl is shown in both the "Information and Operation" (I&O) manual, and the service manual parts book, and also on the paper label for the APU cover. That is the correct sub pawl--and spring, however I am not 100% sure the spring is attached in the correct spot--The number of "teeth" the pawl will remove at one time, is adjustable, and shown in the Service Manual as well as ( I think) the I & O manual.
The reason that the former owner cut the wire to the solenoid, is that the solenoid is NOT designed for constant duty, and is prone to catching fire, if credits are left on the phono for extended periods of time. Ron Rich
