Hello! I am getting a SM$M going that has an absolute hacked up board. Could you take pics of each connector for me? I am installing a new XPIN board and have the transformer wired over but need the wires on these three close upped if I could bother you?
Super appreciate the help if you can. Hopefully I can make it a go

This should do.
Note, the factory J1 connector was 8-pin. If your kit came with a 9-pin connector, you must leave pin 9 unused.
Two gauges of wire thickness were used, those marked below in large font and drawn with thicker lines represent the thick wires.

What brand and exact color paint did you use for the cabinet? I'm mildly colorblind, so I don't trust my judgement. Thanks!

i wanted to post an update on my restoration since it has been a while , i have been busy so i have not had the time to work on the pinball much but i have finished the touch ups and started to put in the inserts with new insert decals.
i was wondering if it was best to have the inserts even when clearing or or have them slightly down further in the holes to fill with clear.
i was wondering because the insert decals i got are not completely flat , you can feel the font is just a hair higher then the rest of the insert decal.

It’s a little late to suggest but It would be flatter to have the numbers cut out as a mask and spay paint them.

thanks for the advise , also i could just have the inserts in a hair lower to fill with clear , its only a couple of insert decals where the decals number font feels a hair higher than the rest of the decal, the rest are completely flat so maybe its a printing flaw.
