I have a 78 Bally Playboy that the prior owner hacked up the burnt-out molex plugs on the power board, and now I need to replace the plugs so I can get it back to good. I have the replacement plug kit I got on ebay, but I've never messed with replacing these plugs. I searched on here already and couldn't find a how-to on them, either. Any guides or tips that anyone can point me to?

Thanks in advance!

Are you replacing the connectors on the board, too? That requires desoldering/soldering. If you have never soldered, this might be too much for a first time.

Even buying a replacement board will require soldering skills, so your homework is reading up on how to solder.

Thanks! Just did my power plug - heck of a lot easier than I thought it would be. I did get a new power board, so no need to worry about soldering new pins!
