Quoted from Atari_Daze:Any job is easy with proper tools. This is but one example of removal tools, this one may or may NOT fit your connectors, is to be used as a guide only.

I think the best tool to use when removing a .100 size connector from their housing is the Molex Extraction tool, #11-03-0022. Been using mine for a little over ten years and wouldn't be without it, probably used it to remove well over a thousand crimp pins. Only drawback is that it is a small tool and can be easily misplaced. Available from Great Plains Electronics for $17.50
One other thing, if you are going to operate any classic Bally/Stern, be sure to use the high heat crimp pins for the rectifier board, and don't forget that there are two different wire sizes for the .156 pins and you will use both of them.
When I see pics of high priced classic games with all original connectors, I just shake my head. It always makes me wonder what else didn't get addressed.
