Quoted from bigguybbr:Now that I could detach part of the wiring harness, I tossed it into the ultrasonic cleaner. It’s amazing how much crud was on there.
I’m not sure what it is, but all the connectors for the plasma displays had a blue compound in one of the connectors. Maybe a dielectric for the high voltage pin?

Nope, its dye I think leaching out of the wire covering. Ballys do it as well, saw mention of it on Pinwiki.
Quoted from bigguybbr:Looking at the white rails next to the playfield, it really brings out how yellowed it has gotten over the years. I think I’m going to repaint the new rails another color. I lined up some samples with purple, navy, bright blue, and black to see if any of them jump out at me.

My vote is for a royal blue the same color on the playfield.
Quoted from slochar:Hopefully you didn't use trifurcons here - they're a real bear to get off a 20 pin connector once on!
I don't think they are available for .100 connectors, at least I have not seen them for sale.
