Simpsons Pinball - Bad connectors

A common problem on Pinball machines is burnt molex connectors due to the long hours they were run for and heat build up.

What a mess, notice the wires connected to the test points. These go to the new coin mech as this was originally an american machine. I am sure there must be a closer gnd / 12v source to tap into rather than the backbox and directly to the power supply.


New 9 pin header installed and recapped the power supply.


Hmm toasty, this connector plugs into the playfield power board (PPB).


Replaced both connectors, the label maker also got a workout.
