OP
Quoted from emsrph:

With the ultimate goal of eventual swapping to a CPR repro pf when it comes out, I was thinking of putting all solenoids, pop bumpers, flippers and drop target assemblies on connectors...
Some people think this connector adds a failure point?
Should 0.093 be used or are 0.062 pins okay, current carrying ability?
Discuss.

Chances of you ever having to remove these mechs again are pretty slim. IIRC, after 28 playfield swaps spanning 16 years I have had to replace one broken drop target, thats it. Thousands of plays, games brought to shows, some placed on location for months. One broken drop target. It just seems to me to be an unnecessary step and yes I think it does add a new failure point.

If anyone really believes that more connectors are a good thing, work on a Gameplan game sometime.
