Heh . . . I won't get a pinball machine into the house until I have an actual house with a dedicated play room. That's quite a number of years down the road. |

Punched down the other side to a jack. Toned everything out and I'm golden. ;D Definitely glad I did it the hard way. It looks great and is super strong. I used 1/16" heat shrink on all the inner wires, and then slid a larger piece over the whole cable, so it still just looks like a single (albeit two-toned) cable. But it's much longer now and has an RJ45 connector and jack in the middle of it. |
