Going to try and re-pin some connectors for the first time. Does anyone know what size Molex pins to buy for my Mr & Mrs Pac-Man? I want to re-pin a couple connectors and cannot figure out the size for the life of me. I'd appreciate the help.

I appreciate the feedback. My left exit lane resets the game when rolled over and when specific drop targets are dropped. I’ve read that re-pinning connectors can help alleviate the situation.

When my 2nd and 3rd targets on the lower left bank of the playfield are down, the left exit lane resets the game (back to ball 1 w/ points from rollover)

It also makes the right exit lane end that current ball upon rollover, even though the ball is still rolling on the playfield.

When all targets are up, game has no issues. It’s the 2nd and 3rd drop targets on the lower lower left bank and the two outside exit lane. Nothing else seems affected.

Updated 1/14/19. It was awhile before I had time to get back to the machine. Took apart the connectors from the door to the cabinet and just cleaned them first before re-pinning everything. Took off the diodes from the reset button and cleaned the switches and cleaned everything in the door, put it back together and bang, back to normal. When I think about it now, I neglect maintenance on my the door to both my machines. That’s on me. Appreciate all the help and insight to the problem, everyone. Learn something new everyday about pinball maintenance. It’s awesome!
