TheShanMan's Defender restoration - New repro wiring harnesses!!!
TheShanMan:
Yes. Seemed to be perfectly fine to me, given the limited amount of time I messed with it before shipping my boards off to Jim.
RetroACTIVE:

I like it... way better than using wires. What kind of header/housing did you use..amp or molex? The ones I use have a more severe locking mech and are very difficult to unplug... I like the ones you use, they are just right.
SirPeale:
It's a Molex header with pins from ITW. It's pretty compact. I expanded on previous ideas and came up with that design.
TheShanMan:
While reinstalling my boards, and since I can't play it yet ;D, I figured I'd clean up the power supply board. Well, the transformer part of it. It had a switcher in and no PS PCB when I bought it, so these pictures reflect that. I've bought a PS PCB off of ebay that I'll get rebuilt and installed so I don't need to use a switcher any more, but that's a project for another day.
How do you guys like the before vs. after? A little better? 8)
BTW, I decided not to paint the particle board because although you can't see it in the pics here (my full size pics show it), there is a "TESTED" stamp and a "JUN 26 1981" stamp on there. I like seeing that on there.
SirPeale:
It's cleaner!
In the interim while you're waiting for that adapter to arrive, you can pull the wires not used out of the harness and wrap them with electrical tape. Easy to pull out, you just need a tiny flat bladed jewelers screwdriver.
