    The small backbox power harness (shown in picture) would become merged with the playfield harness, only you can answer if it would be undesirable to you. Ralistically, the only person that wouldn't like this is the guy doing a complete restoration on the machine; it would also cause a little more work if you need to remove the head from the machine for any reason.

    Quoted from KornFreak28:

    So is it just a matter of soldering the wires together to eliminate it?

    You can also just put a molex male and female connector in its place ... depending on the game and whichever is easier.

    See post #2 for potential consequences of soldering these together.
