Hey guys. I am doing a PF swap with a new CPR PF. I picked up a couple of 3 bank drop target assemblies from a parted out Gorgar, and am using the Siegecraft contact boards. Anyway my question is, aside from the two coil wires, are all of the wires already on the playfield? Or do I need to run some new wires from the drop targets to the back box connectors? I have been using http://pinball.flippers.info/firepowerdroptargets/ as a guide, and it says:

"You'll need to obtain about 5' or 6' of the following color coded wire for the new switch connections that don't exist in the game. This is where that old playfield comes in handy! I would highly suggest getting color coded wire from an old playfield. It will be extremely difficult to troubleshoot wiring problems if you use new solid wire.

Gray-Red
Gray-Orange
Green-Orange
Green-Violet
White-Yellow
White-Grey
White-Violet"

Are these 7 wires not already on the playfield? I swear I already see some of these connected to the stand-up targets. If anyone has any experience with this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks RCA1. Sounds like I'll need to follow the correct wires off the correct board connectors and bring out new wires to the PF. Hopefully that does the trick. Thanks again.
