Have you ever dreamed about a pinball without electronic issue ? How to do ? Remove all. and put it in a box
Have you ever connected your old gottlieb System1 to a PC ?

Did you like jigwsaw when you were children ?

So what to do : replace connectors or not ?
Change all wires or not?

Waiting about your opinion and experience !

One thing is sure : at this moment : it doesn't work !

I'm not afraid - I do like challenges

Dear BD,
I agree about the quality of connector , but in case of trouble.What to do ? You can't replace easily the boards . This is a unique model , and you can't install a Janin card or similar.
That's no professionnal for the next owner.

I think i will try to replace and reinstall with initial models , and at least , replace all the wires with a new one found on another machine.

It could be the better way to solve definitely issues.

Just looked the CPU - The battery is starting to leak...ARGH.

I have more connectors than i need , but i would have better to purchase new parts with good contacts

What a job !

Canada dry is waiting some parts..(fuse, coils) to be started again .
Hope It will start perhaps next week-end.
EM is stronger than SS - For sure.

2 homes for LB45 = Two DIY Zones...

Do you think that color on connectors are always the same on System1.

In this case , i could copy my Totem connectors (color by pin-number) to install new connectors from wires coming from the playfield for example?

If someone has the schematics of Dragon , i need it urgently , particularly colors on connectors...on A1 - J7 J6 ( CPU to playfiled) and A3 (driver !)

Thanks.

Thanks Padman ,
i asked worldwide this question about colors , and i'm sure to win

I will reinstall a normal connector .

I will do :

Playfield --->DB25(exist)> >DB25------->Normal Molex and not wires directly soldered to boards or Direct without DB . It depends if i have colors or not.

FYI :

-->Connectors DB25 removed.
-->New wires soldered

Waiting the special tool purchased at Ma....ies (shipped 06/14>>>>> not arrived in France).. to remove old contacts and use old connectors found

If i lived by you , it would be easier !
