Hello, I am more of an EM guy and I need help with a couple small issues on a Gorgar I'm working on. First, I have a loose wire from a switch behind the upper drop targets that I cannot tell where it came from. I'm guessing it goes with the orange wires from the lamp sockets but I am not sure. I do not see anywhere that it broke free from. Secondly, I have to replace the pins on a connector. The wires from the connector lead to the potentiometer. I just need to know the size/type of pins I need. They kind of look like the Gottlieb System 1 connectors. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't do that. Never mix your switch matrix with your lamp matrix.

On the switch the white wire blue stripe goes to the lug with the black end of the diode. The orange wire is likely a jumper to a nearby switch with a green wire or jumps to another orange wire that leads to a green wire. It would hook onto a green wire. Look at how all your other switches are wired. Same thing each switch for the base color white or green, stripes will be different colors.

Connector looks like the .156 size connectors. Ed has them - https://www.greatplainselectronics.com/

That Red/Black/Ground Molex (White) connector(s) looks like a hack job. I would either fix it right or find another connector from a computer power supply or something like that and splice those three wires onto a good, clean connector that has wiring already in it. You can lift the pins out you don't need or even move them around in the socket. Let me know if you need help. I would be happy to make one or two for you if you feel comfortable working with crimp or solder splices. Free, of course.

The loose orange wire attaches to the Green with orange stripe wire.
Follow the small orange jumper's coming off at the green and orange stripe wire lug to the other solder pads re attach wire to the nearest solder pad.

Thanks Everyone, I will solder the loose wire to the green and orange wire as PINTEC suggested. As for the connector I will order a few .156 molex ? pins and replace all three. The connector itself seems fine. I have replaced System 1 connectors/pins before and it looks very similar. I really appreciate the help. You guys are the best. Roger
