I almost have my bucket of parts together. On the top left of my mechanism (160ST5) is a white wire - connected to ground on one side, hanging in mid-air on the other.
Can anyone tell me where to connect the other side of this wire to?

Maybe the favorites counter solenoid? That's my guess.

Already have the two wires to the pop meter.

From various readings, I am beginning to think this wire is to ground the mechanism cover.
Where? How?

Bird,
You are correct--should be a very small Phillips screw on the top of mech cover that the wire needs to be attached to. At one time, that wire had an attaching lug there. Ron Rich
