Bally Connectors

Sunday September 18th 2016

I'm working on a Bally 1987 playboy. The "mylar" or "plastic" connectors that attach to the display module. (the score you see while playing the game} I have some issues where the wires aren't seating in the mylar holes properly . Also the same type problems with the mylar/plastic connectors on the lamp board. They are just old school mylar connectors. My point or better question is where can I get a tool that will push the old school connector pins out and my new connectors back in these mylar thingies? One for the Lamp board connectors and one for the score /display, Ball in play and extra credit score card to be exact. I think I can find the mylar strips, but where do you get the tool?

Thanks

Hello


I've never seen a hand tool for them. They usually have a tab on the back you push in and then pull the connector out of the housing. Then shove the new one in by hand or needle nose pliers.
