Quoted from djblouw:

Nope, that’s not my link, but it’s very helpful for others.

Extremely, it was one of the major pieces of the puzzle left unaccounted for in the conversion. Thanks largely to djblouw making the metal guides!

Quoted from djblouw:

Testing the GI harness layout. Everything seems to line up. I’ll figure out the jumpers needed between sockets.
This is the harness from Third Coast Pinball. It’s great to have these available.[quoted image]

Thanks for sharing your progress. For others interest in a replacement harness, please contact Third Coast Pinball to get on the list for his next run. I was advised it will be later this year one he completes a number of others already scheduled.

Quoted from djblouw:

Yeah, I’ve got a template I’m using to make mine. But the score windows didn’t seem to be sized right when I was marking it out. So I’ve held off on sharing until I can confirm it’s correct.

I think I’m the first one doing a full build (or at least the first to document it) and figured it be helpful to share what I learn. I’m glad people are following along.

Sharing your efforts is certainly appreciated, inspiring in fact. I've got a project game coming. Now to source a playfield and plastics, then wait until the next run of harnesses are ready. Hopefully a really reproduction backglass is released in the near future. Wonder it would be possible to do a similar thing and build a Seawitch?
