Pin•Bot is my only pin and it never fails to perform. It's the first thing my grandchildren say hello to before me.

But I never fail to think of a way to tinker or redo something that is working just fine. To that end, I am lighting the flipper buttons, blue on the left and red on the right.

I have all the parts and figured I would grab the power from the GI on the coin door. The coin slot light sockets were corroded and CLR really cleaned both of them up nicely. But rather than solder the wires to the light sockets I looked at the Molex connector going to the door with a plan to re-pin one side adding the tap.

I am sure it was not pulled apart for 25 years or more but the plan was to re-pin the yellow and yellow/white pins tapping off power to both buttons. But when I took it apart, here is what I see. One of the connectors does not have a socket, and two pins facing each other. Could it possibly have come from the factory this way?

I can easily fix it but something things are done and I am not sure why. I am just asking if I am missing something.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. This one was weird but fortunately an easy fix.
