I would also consider making them all relay type (instead of transistor). Avoids potential problems with coin switch circuits locking up.

I have been gradually switching mine to electronic also. I use the Ginsan 403 timer when I do so no relay or transformer is required. All I need is the timer, coin acceptor and vac motors.

I don't understand "coin switch circuits locking up". I use a fuse on the load line after the timer in an effort to not blow the timer if it overamped. Would this accomplish the same thing you are talking about?
