I knew you would appreciate it.

Quoted from ChrisHibler:

BTW...J120 and J121 are interchangeable. They exist to support rapid manufacturing.

That means you are free to put all 10 wires in 1 connector, but if in the future the backbox needs to be separated from the cabinet for transport, you gonna need scissors.

Quoted from jfesler:

Zaza, what do you use for your illustrations?

maybe I should edit my profile and put some text there about the software I use.
But here in short,.. the base picture is made with ms-paint, mostly in black/white.
When text, texture, (transparent) colors, rotation, different layers etc. are needed, then Corel photopaint is used.
Some vector-pictures are made with coreldraw and exported as PDF or JPG.
On my laptop I have the adobe package but still have to get used to it.

Good advice !

Maybe the tool in post #25 doesn't work for this connector.

Quoted from RampShot11:

BUT, when I moved J121 to the correct pins, everything went out

Do you mean no string at all works now ? Think you have to measure continuity between various points in GI circuit.
Check wiki.

Funny, today I made new trio for Congo where the harness was 'repaired' too many times and had to extend the wires.
Not with a punch-tool but soldered it looks this way:

1st. the connector has to be wired better than this, it is possible that there is just no connection between wire and connector.
2nd. Check Vac on J115. - Easy way: one pen on GND, the other on Fuse F106-F110. should be 6.8Vac

I don't know why in first picture (post#8) the violet wire is on position 2 of J121. Maybe there is a burnt trace under PDB and is it placed on another string to at least light on the playfield.
Best is to take PDB out and inspect all traces and connections.

but all in all the board is in good shape.

Yes, it does look in good shape.

Quoted from RampShot11:

found the fuse on the bottom left was blown. I replaced it.

That would be GI#5 violet, TopPlayfield + Coindoor.

Looks like you found all problems, well done RampShot11 !!
