    Hi.

    Do Pinsiders have any idea when, approximately, wiring harnesses in pins evolved to the point that separating a backbox from a cabinet completely involved simply disconnecting modular connectors?

    The only way I can install a pin in my home is to separate the backbox from the cabinet, and I do *not* want to attempt such a separation *unless* the wiring harness will allow it without too much fuss.

    Must I buy a modern Stern, or would a late-nineties Bally/Williams pin have such a harness?

    Thanks a bunch for reading. Any insight would be much appreciated.

    Thank you, all of you, for your quick, helpful replies!

    I really appreciate it!

    It sounds like I was misinformed. I was dead sure that even "System-Eleven" pins from Williams were too old for easy separation. I will have to research "3-7" games, but I assume they are a newer generation from Williams.

    You guys are great!
