If you cant find them just chop em off and replace with a better quality connector. I have grown rather fond of the JST YL series, Molex are another good choice :) |
| Mike A:
Just replace the whole mess with Molex connectors. They are a more solid connection, and they are readily available. |

I wanted to keep everything as close to OEM as possible, but that's proving to be a challenge. I'll just replace it with more modern and accessible connectors. |

It is very common even for collectors to replace the IDC connectors with Molex connectors. Those punch down connectors never should have been used in the first place. |

You should start here: https://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/M/Mortal_Kombat_1_1640025101_July_1992.pdf What you are looking for should be in there. --- End quote --- Also, thank you for this. I'm so glad I asked here. The Operations Manual you provided a link for is far more detailed than the one I had been using, which I now see is the "Mortal Kombat Kit" Operations Manual (which seems to be the prominent MK:OM PDF you find online). I think it's going to clear up a lot of the questions I've been having. |
