Yessir. :cheers:
I was also reading a few posts on the KLOV forums (including one from you regarding these connectors! ;) ) and it seems like this is a pretty common problem. Bob Roberts has a Deluxe OEM Williams PS kit that I was thinking of getting for a full rebuild. It has the standard connector kit (molex), repair, and the additional headers, Rectifiers and the like.
I'll be putting together my shopping list shortly.

What does IDC stand for?

Insulated Displacement Connector.
Though from what I was reading, they're pretty crappy at the insulating part...over time.

Added the restoration plan and potential cost to the first post.
I got a question: what is your opinion of changing the leather black t-molding to chrome? :)
The purist in me is saying "it's not original looking!", but I've been considering sprucing it up a bit with the chrome, making it look more "blingy".
I've worked with chrome t-molding before, and it really gives the cabinet a "tournament/special edition" look to it. With the addition of the brighter LED lighting, I was thinking that the chrome could really compliment the cabinet...
Thoughts?

I say.... don't do it.
