Quoted from drsfmd:

I took another look at it this morning. There *is* a ground on the existing plug- those two little notches have metal blades in them, and there's continuity from the blade to the ground. I feel a little silly having missed that last night.
Looks like it will be pretty straightforward from here... thanks for your help gents!
Edit: And yes, I'm going to clean those contacts well before installing the new cord. I'm thinking I should remove those little rusty buss bar style connectors, and wire it directly.

Glad to see your working on it! I really hope you get it going. Can’t wait to see how it plays!

Quoted from G-P-E:

Not meaning to hijack thread... but those Jones Plugs.
Does anybody know if there very many variations out there?
The ones in the photo's are 2x6's.
And does anybody know why these are called Jones Plugs? The rest of the world outside of pinball know that Jones Plugs are flat bladed connectors which look nothing like these.

Last Lap has a few different sizes. There were two massive ones that are for the playfield which are like 20 pins I think.
