I don’t think the wiring harness will be as bad as people think- sure it will take time, but it is far from impossible- even if you don’t use the exact color wire, it still comes back to known connections and devices. Hell- you could probably make it all out of the same color wire, just mark your connectors carefully. This is a very doable project.
It will not make you rich.... but will keep you busy.

Quoted from Chosen_S:

What a nightmare this would be later on when problems arise and things need to be traced down. I don't recommend this.

I agree it would be less than ideal, but sometimes you got to compromise.
I deal with huge industrial controls cabinets every day. Thousands of connections, very few different wire colors...
It is more about documentation of connections (which Adams has tons of documentation)
If I have the manual for a pinball machine that shows connection points, I rarely look at wire color...
I also rarely trust wire color- I do 100% trust testing conductivity.

Boy, there are a lot of armchair quarterbacks here...
Most of whom probably haven’t built anything more complicated than a sandwich...

You guys act like it is impossible to build a pinball machine- it’s not. You guys act like he is going to try to go to the moon... He is not new to big projects. He KNOWS it is not the easy road.

He has picked a pin that was huge in production numbers- nothing is impossible to find with the internet, just takes time and money.

There is just something about being a man and wanting to see if you can build something with your own hands, even if you know it is cheaper and easier to write a check to have someone else do the work.
I have spent twice the money and twice the time on many, many, many projects (ask my wife) and even given up on a few that just beat me. But the ones that worked out felt great. I couldn’t imagine how sad a man who has never felt this.
