Best way is to get a replacement female "socket". What size do you need. Some of us have parts bins from killed off machines, parts needed thread

Quoted from ibis:I appreciate the offer of parts!! Thanks, but the severity of the broken piece is minor and can be soldered on for sure. The reason for the post was to bring more attention to this subject. There are no real modern replacements that I can find, which is interesting. So in short, if needed badly, the answer is to find old parts or maybe even go as far as using molex connectors. It would be awesome if someone repo'ed this part!
There really is no need, enough games are getting parted out on a daily basis that will keep us supplied, these are so generic spanning 15-20 years that a supply is readily available.

Quoted from pinengineer77:My friend's Gottlieb King Pin jones plug pins have been sanded so aggressively the grey plating is gone and show as raw brass. I am concerned the dissimilar metals (plug male = brass, female = original (lead solder??) plating) will cause corrosion or intermittent contacts. Have already had to re-seat and clean the female connector a few times to bring the game to life. Have seen long term reliability issues with gold JAMMA PCB edge connectors and lead solder PCB fingers...
Has anyone re-plated the male contact ends and if so, with what process? Or do others also sand down to brass and not have problems?
Thanks!
probably just easier to replace... what size?
