I made some connector adapters for this very purpose :)

Definitely post up a pic, should be pretty easy to find on molex's site and then order from mouser.

Boo to crush crimp, get a good open barrel crimper so you can do molex and a bunch of other open barrel connections.

This one is cheap and pretty decent for a nonratchet type.  Get the ratchet type if you don't mind spending the money.

I've converted dozens of monitors and cab over the years, so I can help you get the right part number for the proper mating connector from DigiKey, if you show me what you have.

If it were me, I would find the proper connector. But chances are good that he doesn't have the proper crimper for the Molex pins. Using bullet or spade connectors will allow the OP to have a disconnectable connection by using common crush type crimpers that are typically found on combination wiring tools.

I agree.

Thanks guys,
The bottom cord is what is in the cab.  I do have a crimper I can bum from a buddy if it is needed.  Though it looks like the spade connectors could work, and I know radio shack has them.

Cut that top connector off, that's the funky one that Wells Gardner used late in the game, and it's a pain in the ass to use.

Here's the connector you need:

And the pins:

Buy a bag of 10 connectors, and a bag of 100 pins. Less than $10 total, and you'll have enough left over to convert many more monitors in the future.
