    When I first started to work on Sys 80s, at the time, it was impossible to find the split, terminal pin for the double-sided interconnect. The only choice to replace it would be to hack a JAMMA connector to it. Results were never pretty.

    Those pins have become available again.

    They actually come on a strip, so they have to be individually snipped off.

    A bit more expensive here:

    I don't know if they come on a reel, or for the premium price, you get them as individual pins.
