Quoted from pinwillie:

Follow the playfield looms to the boards in backbox and disconnect there. I like to write the plug numbers(j113 for example) on the side of the plug with a fine tip sharpie and take a pic before removing. good luck

Quoted from MinnPin:

Thanks for the help on the paint you guys. I guess I will go buy some purple and start there.
As for the cables, I read some of what was said regarding removing them to remove the playfield, but here's what I did: I just marked each connector with a matching letter.
One connector gets a black sharpie "A" on it and the one that plugs into also gets an "A", then next, a "B" and so on.
If you want the letters gone later on, a little rubbing alcohol and the connectors are like new.
Good luck!

I realize that the quoted comments are a bit old, but I prefer to use the identification cable ties to label the connectors so that when you're done you can snip them back off, keeping your connectors classy and free from marker.
